Yes, security is the default, not an add-on. Slide enforces encryption on all protected data, both in transit and at rest, with no setting to flip and no premium tier to unlock. Because the data is encrypted at rest, a bad actor who physically walks off with the appliance gets unreadable ciphertext rather than your client's files. Protection is built in from the first backup forward.

This is exactly what Slide is built for. Your backups are stored separately from the protected machine and aren't accessible the way ordinary network files are, so when ransomware encrypts the live environment, your clean recovery points stay intact. You roll back to a point before the infection and get your client running again, often in minutes rather than days.

Fast. Because Slide runs on all-flash NVMe storage from the local appliance through to our cloud, restores aren't bottlenecked by spinning disks. You can spin up a failed server as a virtual machine and keep the business operating while you sort out the underlying hardware issues.

You're still covered. Every backup is also replicated to the Slide cloud, so a fire, flood, or theft that takes out the on-site appliance doesn't take out the data. You can virtualize and recover directly from the cloud while a replacement appliance ships.

No. Native encryption, both in transit and at rest, is on by default and included at no additional cost. There's no premium tier to unlock it and nothing to configure to turn it on.

Yes. Slide lets you boot a backup as a virtual machine on the appliance or in the cloud, so a failed production server becomes a running one in minutes. Your client keeps working while you handle the repair or replacement on your own timeline.

No. Slide runs on a month-to-month model with no multi-year commitment. The intent is to stay accountable through the product and support rather than a contract, so if we stop earning your business, you're free to leave.

You reach an actual engineer, not a phone tree. Slide's direct-to-tech model connects you to in-house experts straight away, with 24×7 disaster recovery support for the moments that can't wait until morning.

Yes. Slide is built around an open, well-documented API rather than a closed appliance, so nearly anything you can do in the Slide interface you can also do through the API. That means you can connect backup status, alerts, and recovery actions to the tools you already use, like your RMM, PSA, and ticketing, instead of checking a separate dashboard.
