Turn CloudStack Backup, Recovery and DR Into One Service.
Sell a complete protection service, not a collection of storage-specific backup jobs.
Yes. Sendense protects Apache CloudStack VMs across supported KVM, XCP-ng, XenServer and VMware deployments. It combines recurring backup, governed recovery points, restore, replication, EBA repository efficiency and recovery evidence in one operating model.

What it covers
Service Outcomes
One CloudStack Protection Service. Multiple Customer Outcomes.
Sendense keeps backup, recovery, replication and service evidence together while adapting the protection path to the estate. Exact storage and hypervisor planning lives on the CloudStack storage backends page.
Consistent Delivery
One Service Across Mixed CloudStack Estates
Apply one Sendense service model across tenants, zones, hypervisors and supported storage paths instead of packaging a different backup offer for each estate.
Operational Recovery
Recovery Is Part Of The Offer
Keep governed recovery points, restore operations and recovery evidence in the same Sendense workflow used to protect the workload.
BaaS To DRaaS
Replication Extends The Service
Add ongoing replication and CloudStack recovery workflows without introducing a separate platform for the disaster recovery service.
Protect Service Margin
Provider-Owned Economics
Use EBA deduplication, compression and retention controls on provider-owned infrastructure so repository growth does not define the margin of the service.
Protection Operations
Keep The Service Current, Recoverable And Evidenced.
Recurring protection is only the start. Sendense keeps recovery points governed, supports restore and replication workflows, and gives operators evidence they can use in customer service reviews.
Scheduled Operations
Keep Protection Current
Run recurring CloudStack protection with source-aware data paths selected for the estate and governed recovery points retained in EBA.
Restore And DR
Recover Through One Workflow
Use the same Sendense operating model for restore, recovery validation, replication and CloudStack-based disaster recovery.
Customer Evidence
Show The Service State
Use job state, recovery points and validation evidence in service reviews instead of reducing assurance to a successful backup notification.
Managed Service Platform
Commercial Outcomes Stay In The Same Workflow.
Keep tenant operations, repository economics, recovery and DR attached to one Sendense service instead of separate operational silos.
One Managed Service Across Tenants
Package policies, recovery points and reporting around customers and service tiers while Sendense handles the CloudStack-aware protection path.
EBA Keeps Provider Storage Cost Under Control
CloudStack backup data lands in the Sendense repository path, where EBA deduplication, compression, retention and restore behaviour protect service margin.
Backup, Recovery and DR Stay in One Workflow
The same platform model supports backup, restore, recovery evidence, migration and CloudStack-based DRaaS rather than splitting each outcome into a separate tool.
One Sendense Service
From CloudStack Integration To Customer Outcome.
Sendense connects the technical deployment plan to the managed service: integrate the estate, qualify each protection path, then operate backup, recovery and DR with tenant-aware controls.
Explore the CloudStack integration architectureCloudStack integration
Sendense discovers the CloudStack estate through scoped credentials and coordinates the volume, snapshot, restore and recovery operations required by the service.
Explore CloudStack integrationCompatibility planning
The deployment plan records each hypervisor, storage backend, selected source path and prerequisite before protection is commissioned.
Open the compatibility matrixService-provider operations
Tenant-aware operations, usage signals, provider-owned EBA and recovery evidence give CSPs and MSPs the control needed to sell and operate the service.

Turn CloudStack Protection Into A Service, Not A Storage Project.
A CloudStack backup platform has to work commercially as well as technically: service tiers, customer reporting, repository margin and DR paths all matter.
Tenant-Aware Service Delivery
Package CloudStack backup around customers, tenants, zones and service tiers instead of exposing every storage detail to the buyer.
BaaS and DRaaS Margin
Pair CloudStack protection with EBA efficiency and provider-owned infrastructure so storage growth does not swallow the managed service.
Evidence for Service Reviews
Use job state, recovery points and validation evidence to show customers what is protected and what can be recovered.
Open Recovery Strategy
Use CloudStack as a backup source, recovery target or managed cloud platform without locking the whole service model to one hypervisor vendor.

The CloudStack Requirements Are Specific, But Not Heavy.
Sendense commissioning focuses on clear CloudStack prerequisites: API access, role permissions, protected workload visibility, optional host-assist reachability where used, controller template readiness and the CloudStack objects needed for restore and replication workflows.
Review Infrastructure RequirementsDedicated CloudStack API user with the required role permissions.
01CloudStack API permissions for protected VM, volume, snapshot, restore and recovery operations.
02Optional snagent host assist only where a supported CloudStack KVM storage path needs it.
03Outbound TCP 443 from relevant Sendense appliances or optional host-assist components to the SHA.
04TCP 8888 only between relevant CloudStack KVM hosts when optional snagent peer coordination is deployed.
05Sendense Controller Template, DHCP network and offerings for replication and restore workflows.
06STYPE custom OS type applied to Sendense appliances hosted in CloudStack where the CloudStack deployment model requires it.
07CloudStack Backup FAQs
Short Answers For CloudStack Backup Buyers.
Practical answers for CSPs and MSPs planning a complete CloudStack protection service.
01Can Sendense back up CloudStack VMs?
Yes. Sendense protects Apache CloudStack VMs across supported KVM, XCP-ng, XenServer and VMware deployments, with the qualified data path selected for each hypervisor and storage combination.
02What does the Sendense CloudStack service include?
Sendense brings backup, governed recovery points, restore workflows, ongoing replication, recovery evidence and CloudStack-based DR into one operating model.
03Can a service provider use Sendense for both BaaS and DRaaS?
Yes. The same Sendense platform supports recurring backup, restore and ongoing replication into CloudStack recovery workflows, so providers can package Backup as a Service and Disaster Recovery as a Service without separate operating platforms.
04How does Sendense support mixed CloudStack estates?
Sendense applies one protection model across supported CloudStack hypervisor and storage combinations, selecting the qualified data path for each workload. The storage and hypervisor compatibility matrix records the exact deployment basis.
05What can customers see in a service review?
Providers can use job state, governed recovery points and validation evidence to show what is protected and what can be recovered.
06Does Sendense support tenant-aware CloudStack operations?
Yes. Sendense is designed around customer, tenant, zone and service-tier operations while preserving the CloudStack context needed for protection and recovery.
07How does EBA support CloudStack service economics?
EBA provides deduplication, compression, retention controls and efficient restore behaviour on the Sendense repository path, helping providers control retained capacity and protect service margin.
08Where can I check a specific storage backend or hypervisor?
Use the CloudStack storage and hypervisor compatibility matrix for named backends, selected data paths and deployment requirements.
09What is required to commission CloudStack protection?
Commissioning uses a dedicated CloudStack API user with the required role permissions, the relevant network reachability, Sendense controller resources and any qualified optional host-assist prerequisites selected for the estate.
