Physicaly isolated and highly secure air-gapped 
nodes for advanced ransomware protection. 
WHAT IS AIR-GAPPING? 
Air-gapping is an advanced data protection feature 
used to isolate target storage volumes from 
unsecure networks, production environments, and 
host platforms to protect from threats such as WHY DO YOU NEED AIR-GAPPED NODES? 
ransomware attacks, virus, accidental/malicious 
deletion, and other disasters.
In other words, air-gapped volumes are 
inaccessible to applications, databases, users, and 
workloads running on the production environment. 
Air-gapped volumes can be set up on-premises 
and in the cloud. Storage administrators can set 
policies to automaticaly isolate the volumes. In the past,

HOW AIR-GAPPED NODES WORK?

accessible using the same network.
When Copying Backups 
Air-gapped nodes are attached only when 
backups, snapshots, and replicas need to be 
copied to them or data needs to be restored from 
them. 
How Air-Gapped Nodes Protect Your Data from ADDITIONAL DATA PROTECTION
Ransomware Attacks FEATURES
Backups stored in air-gapped nodes are isolated from your network and 
inaccessible. In the event of a successful ransomware attack, even if your 
production environment and your backup servers are encrypted, the data The folowing data protection features 
stored in air-gapped nodes remains inaccessible and safe. As the are also preinstaled in StoneFly 
air-gapped nodes are isolated from the network, ransomware cannot access air-gapped nodes: 
and therefore encrypt the backup copies stored in them. 
•  Immutable delta-based snapshots

can restore data using the backup copies in air-gapped nodes; effectively •  Write-Once Read-Many (WORM)
