### Why Compass is the Smart Move for IBM i and Power VS Backup

Built-in Security
You need enterprise-grade security delivering the robust data protection you can trust. Compass security features are built-in, not added-on. Protect your data with security features including Zero Access®, Ransomware Detection, and Isolated Zones.

Hybrid IBM i Integration
Deploy data protection exactly where you need it: SaaS, hybrid, or on-premises. Compass delivers data protection for IBM Cloud, Amazon AWS, Alibaba Cloud, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.

Automated Software-Defined VTL
What if your data was protected by an integrated VTL? Virtualize legacy tapes, eliminate data silos, and automate management of enterprise data protection. All of this through the built-in VTL within Compass®, you no longer have to piece together software and hardware for a backup, security, and recovery solution for your data.

Simplicity not complexity
Eliminate up to 80% of the daily management of backup with Compass automation and centralized control. Deploy in minutes instead of months for a rapid time to value, modern data protection.
