Storage that defends your data, now running where your data lives
RackTop BrickStor SP brings patented Active Defense to the Scale Computing Platform. Deploy it as a virtual appliance inside HyperCore clusters and detect, stop, and recover from ransomware and data theft in real time, at the core and at every edge site.

Defense model
Two attacks, weighted equally. Most storage answers only one.
Legacy NAS was built to store and recover. It was not built to notice that the data walking out the door is yours. BrickStor SP treats data theft with the same urgency as ransomware, because the people inside your walls can do as much damage as the malware outside them.
Ransomware
Encryption stopped at the storage processor
Behavior-based anomaly detection identifies encryption patterns as they begin and isolates the activity before it spreads, while uncompromised users keep working on production data.
Data theft
Exfiltration blocked in real time
Unusual access and bulk movement of sensitive data trigger instant alerts and automated response, so an attempt to remove data is caught as it happens rather than discovered in a post mortem.
Insider risk
Trusted accounts held to account
User Behavior Analytics with client IP visibility and privilege access analysis surface compromised accounts and abnormal behavior from the users who already have the keys.
Active Defense storage, consolidated into the infrastructure you already run
BrickStor SP deploys as a virtual appliance directly inside Scale Computing HyperCore clusters. Security, storage, and compute live in one consolidated footprint, with no separate defense stack to stand up and no external management VM that an attacker can take offline to disable your protection.
Need more room? Add capacity and physical resources with minimal disruption to production. The same platform runs at the datacenter and at the smallest edge location, so protection does not thin out the further you get from headquarters.
- ✓Runs as a HyperCore virtual appliance for true infrastructure consolidation.
- ✓Native, integrated Active Defense with nothing external to compromise.
- ✓Scale capacity and resources without taking production offline.
- ✓Consistent Zero Trust protection from core to edge.

What Active Defense actually does when an attack starts
Protection is not a nightly job or a snapshot you hope is clean. It is a continuous loop that runs at the storage layer, on every read and write.
01
Detect
See the anomaly
An anomaly detection engine watches access patterns and user behavior in real time, flagging ransomware activity, abnormal data movement, and compromised accounts the moment they deviate.
02
Stop
Cut it off
Suspicious activity is isolated at the storage processor and reported instantly, containing the incident while every uncompromised user stays online and productive.
03
Recover
Restore only what was hit
Intelligent Bulk Recovery auto-identifies the last known good version of each affected file and restores only those files, with cryptographic verification. That is how a 1-minute RPO and 3-minute RTO happen without reverting the whole system.
File and object, protected the same way
BrickStor SP delivers file and object storage across all four protocols, with unified Active Defense and audit across every one of them. When ABAC enforcement is configured for SMB and integrated with Sentris, that same identity-aware access control extends to browser-based Web Drive.

The edge is where defense usually gets thinner. This is where it gets stronger.
Consolidated footprint
Scale Computing collapses compute, storage, and networking into one platform. BrickStor SP adds data defense to that same footprint instead of another appliance to rack, power, and patch.
High availability, built in
HyperCore's self-healing, highly available infrastructure keeps the security platform online, so protection and production stay up together even when hardware does not.
Uniform from core to edge
Distributed and remote sites get the same real-time detection, response, and recovery as the datacenter, managed with the same Zero Trust posture everywhere data is created.
