Growing product teams
Data volumes, reliability requirements and infrastructure costs grow together with the product.
Vendor-neutral Storage Engineering
AnyStorage
Independent engineering expertise in data storage and data infrastructure
We help growing teams choose between cloud, on-prem and hybrid approaches without being tied to a single vendor. We provide architecture reviews and infrastructure audits, design pilot projects and help reduce infrastructure risks. We work with both open-source technologies and proprietary solutions from established vendors.
We do not sell a predefined cloud or hardware stack. We first understand your data, risks, constraints and operational capabilities.

Who we help
Teams moving to the next stage of data infrastructure
AnyStorage helps teams that have outgrown an ad-hoc storage setup and want to move to the next stage in a controlled way.
AI / ML / video / computer vision
Large datasets, video archives and data pipelines require a clear storage architecture and data lifecycle.
SMB and technology companies
The team needs an engineering assessment of storage and backup without starting a large enterprise project.
Teams with on-prem / hybrid infrastructure
Local infrastructure, cloud, backup and recovery requirements need to work as one manageable system.
Startups preparing for data growth
The team needs to understand where cloud is enough and where open-source, on-prem or hybrid should be considered.
Enterprise S3 and object storage
As data volumes and workloads grow, S3 requires a well-designed architecture, replication, lifecycle policies, monitoring and tested recovery procedures.
We work with both early-stage products and established technology teams that need focused storage expertise.
Our approach
Storage-first expertise and vendor-neutral technology choices
AnyStorage is an engineering team focused on efficient data storage and resilient, highly available data infrastructure. With a strong software development background, we work across software and hardware boundaries and communicate effectively with both developers and data center engineers.
Vendor-neutral
We are not tied to a single vendor, cloud, hardware platform or predefined technology.
Storage-first
We address data and system resilience end to end — from transactional workloads to Data Replication, persistent infrastructure and backup.
Lightweight start
We begin with a short consultation, review or small pilot instead of a large enterprise project.
Written deliverables
The engagement produces documented risks, architecture options, recommendations, a roadmap or a pilot plan.
Engineering capabilities
What we do
We help teams make an engineering-based decision using their data, workloads, risks, budget and operational capabilities.
Storage decision support
We help choose between cloud, object storage, block storage, NAS, open-source, on-prem and hybrid approaches.
Architecture review
We review the current or planned architecture and identify risks, constraints and realistic development options.
Backup & DR
We assess backup processes, recovery scenarios, RPO/RTO and readiness for infrastructure failures.
Open-source storage
We help evaluate Ceph, MinIO, Proxmox, TrueNAS and other open-source approaches as an engineering path rather than simply “free software”.
Pilot & handover
We help run a pilot, document the solution, prepare a runbook and hand it over to your team.
When to talk to us
Typical situations we help with
Data volumes are growing quickly
Video, images, AI/ML datasets, IoT data or logs no longer fit a simple storage setup.
Backup exists, but recovery has not been tested
We help determine what can actually be restored, how long recovery may take and where data loss risks remain.
Cloud storage is becoming expensive or inconvenient
We compare cloud, on-prem, hybrid and open-source options using growth, operations and risk as decision factors.
Production-ready open-source storage is needed
We turn “let’s install open-source” into a manageable pilot with monitoring, backup, a runbook and success criteria.
A pilot is needed without a large enterprise project
We help test an approach on a real workload and define a clear next step.
Protection from failures and data corruption is needed
We design resilient, highly available storage, regular snapshots and backup processes with minimal additional infrastructure overhead.
Engagement formats
From a short check to an engineering pilot
You can start with a short free consultation. Work that requires analysis, written conclusions, architecture or implementation is handled as a separate engineering engagement.
Free Storage Check
A 30–45 minute discussion to understand the situation, key risks and possible next steps. It does not include a written audit.
Storage Architecture Review
A review of the current or planned storage setup: cloud, open-source, on-prem, hybrid, backup, bottlenecks and roadmap.
Backup & Data Safety Audit
We assess what data is protected, how recovery works, where data loss risks remain and what should be improved.
DR Readiness Assessment
We assess disaster recovery readiness: critical systems, RPO/RTO, failure scenarios and an actionable recovery plan.
Open-source Storage Starter
We help determine whether open-source storage fits, select an approach and prepare the pilot scope, runbook and success criteria.
Pilot Storage Deployment
We help deploy and validate the selected approach using your data, workloads, hardware or cloud environment.
Ongoing Engineering Support
Fractional storage expertise after an audit or pilot: technical questions, upgrade guidance, troubleshooting and incident support.
About the team
A storage systems engineering team
AnyStorage is a Kazakhstan-based engineering team focused on storage, backup and data infrastructure.
- Team members have 16+ years of experience in the development and operation of storage systems.
- We have experience with production systems and data reliability challenges.
- We have worked with highly available appliances, software-defined platforms and distributed storage.
- We have experience solving infrastructure challenges for large enterprise customers.
We work at the intersection of software, hardware and operations, so we can communicate directly with developers, DevOps engineers and technical leaders.
We do not start by selling a platform. We first define the problem, constraints, risks and success criteria.
First step
How to get started
1. Tell us about the situation
What data you store, current volumes and growth, what you use now and where the main problem has appeared.
2. We run a Free Storage Check
In 30–45 minutes, we identify the key questions, risks and possible directions without conducting a full written audit.
3. We suggest the right next step
It may be a short review, an audit, a pilot or a simple recommendation without an unnecessary large project.
Free Storage Check
Let’s discuss your storage challenge
Briefly describe your situation. We will arrange an initial storage consultation and suggest a realistic next step.
