Atempo: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Atempo is a French vendor of software for moving, protecting and preserving data across file storage, object storage, tape and cloud. Its portfolio has three product lines: Miria for data mobility, backup and archiving of unstructured data at large scale, including for AI and HPC infrastructure; Tina for backup and recovery of servers, applications and infrastructure; and Lina for backup and recovery of laptops, desktops and distributed workforces. Atempo targets IT teams in larger organisations and says it is vendor-agnostic.

Atempo's headquarters is in Massy, south of Paris, so the company falls under French and European law. Its website does not say whether the products are delivered on-premises, in the cloud or as a service. Because the software protects and moves data between storage systems that the customer selects, the location of the data depends on the chosen source and target systems. Check with the vendor how your deployment is set up and where backup data ends up.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Atempo

Atempo is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Atempo runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Atempo is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Atempo together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
