Leil Storage Information

Leil is a modern storage designed for backup and archival data. Leil is a backup storage spin-off of DIAWAY, global system integrator and premiere builder of infrastructure solutions for ISVs and SPs. The name Leil is derived from an ancient and sacred word in Estonian. It comes from ‘breath’ or ‘spirit’ in proto-Uralic, the language group that both Estonian and Finnish belong to. It symbolises the very essence of life because the sauna is our traditional place of birth and the sauna experience has long been associated with the whole concept of rebirth. We are trying hard to revitalize, redo, and right many wrongs around the concept of backup and archival storage, which is very well aligned with what leil does. Estonians call leil a steam generated by pouring water onto hot rocks in a sauna. There’s no sauna without leil – and hopefully there’ll be no proper backup and archival storage without leil too. Estonia, the country with most unicorns per capita in Europe, has not been too active in the field of storage and that’s the gap we strive to fill. This idea has been passed through to storage products in the making. We are rethinking backup and archival storage targets, and this rethink will shape two initial products. Full disclosure - we are huge fans of big families, so there is a good chance we'll make it to three at a later stage, stay tuned.
