Continental Shield · Waitlist
Your data exists on two continents. Always.
Two vaults separated by 5,000+ miles, synchronized every 24 hours. WORM-immutable storage, customer-owned access keys, and true geographic redundancy that survives worst-case scenarios.

Continental Shield maintains two synchronized vaults — your Primary Data in your home region and your Shield Vault on a different continent, separated by at least 5,000 miles. The vaults sync every 24 hours, so your shield copy is never more than a day behind.
- Not different data centers in the same region — different continents.
- Different power grids and different regulatory jurisdictions.
- A daily sync cycle keeps the shield copy within 24 hours of primary.
Click to enlargeWhat you get
Immutable vault. Your access keys. 24-hour sync. True geographic separation.
Four primitives work together so the shield copy survives anything the primary region can't.
Immutable Vault
Lock your data for a set period. Once locked, no one can delete it — not even us. WORM-immutable storage ensures the shield copy survives anything.
Your Own Access Keys
Receive direct access credentials to your vault. Even in worst-case scenarios, your data remains accessible directly to you.
24-Hour Sync Cycle
Your continental vault syncs daily, ensuring your shield copy is never more than 24 hours behind.
True Geographic Separation
Not just different data centers — different continents, on different power grids, in different regulatory jurisdictions. Your data survives regional disasters.
Why it matters
The disaster categories that defeat single-region backup.
Most 'redundancy' stories fail when the redundant copies live in the same region or on the same provider. Continental Shield is designed for the events that take whole regions offline.
Natural Disasters
Earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes that take a whole region offline at once.
Infrastructure Failures
Regional power-grid outages that no in-region redundancy can route around.
Data Center Outages
Provider-level failures — us-east-1 alone has had multiple (2017, 2020, 2021).
Regional Disruptions
Geopolitical events, regulatory shifts, and cross-border data restrictions.
Choose from a global network of secure vault locations.
Pair your home region with any shield region — pick by latency, by jurisdiction, or by compliance requirement. Enterprise gets custom region pairing.
- North America — US East, US West, Canada
- Europe — Ireland, Frankfurt, London
- Asia Pacific — Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney
- South America — São Paulo
Click to enlargeGDPR-friendly. Audit-ready.
GDPR data-residency rules require EU data to remain in the EU. Continental Shield supports EU-to-EU pairings — Ireland and Frankfurt, for example — so geographic redundancy doesn't violate residency. A cross-region read verifies replication health in a way single-region backup cannot.
- EU↔EU pairings keep regulated data inside the EU.
- Cross-region read confirms the shield copy is intact, not just present.
- Pairs with WORM-immutable retention for audit-ready evidence.
