Modern cloud-based applications have built-in protection capabilities that safeguard data from physical infrastructure failures, including redundant storage, replication and high availability. This mechanisms help ensure that data stored in the cloud survives in case the hardware is destroyed, corrupted or otherwise fails. Despite this built-in resiliency, the data can still be affected by disasters, human errors or malicious attacks.
Afi provides a long-term resilient and scalable data protection service that is built from the ground up to support cloud data sources. Our modern architecture and strong technology focus enable us to deliver 2-3x faster performance compared to legacy vendors, as well as unique features such as multi-geo backup storage for a single tenant, instant full-text search across all backup data, smooth Azure AD integration, instant offline data export and more.
Afi is committed to developing reliable and secure service, prioritizing durability and sustainability over agressive growth. We meet this commitment by investing heavily in our technology, and building a resilient organization that our customers can rely on over the next 100 years and beyond.
Our investments in product development significantly exceed that of our peers, as we focus on security and advanced features, positioning Afi ahead of legacy backup vendors. For example, Afi is one of the few providers that support all major BYOK encryption management systems, uses secure full-text search technology, and supports advanced event logging and SIEM integrations.
We are focused on building a secure organization, and we undergo extensive audits and assessments, working with top security firms including Mandiant (part of Google), Qualys, DeepSeas, Cobalt and others. You can learn more about our commitments and how we implement them in our Leadership Statement.

Afi is headquartered in Coral Springs, FL, with a remote team in the European Union (Romania, Cyprus and Poland).
Historically we've prioritized talent over specific locations, executing a global hiring strategy. Following the start of the war in Ukraine we reviewed our operations and implemented a strict work placement policy limiting our employee locations to the US and the EU. We have no employees, customers, partners or resellers in sanctioned countries, and we use strict technical and procedural measures to ensure these restrictions are enforced.
We host our platform in Google Cloud Platform datacenters located in Council Bluffs (Iowa, USA), Montreal (Canada), Eemshaven (the Netherlands), London (the United Kingdom) and Sydney (Australia). In 2024-2025 we expect to add datacenters in Asia and Latin America.
All Afi platform components and data are hosted in the cloud infrastructure, with no on-premises databases, servers or any other physical infrastructure operated by us.
