# Mantle Technology

> Mantle provides a fundamentally different approach to data protection

Mantle Technology provides distributed storage by fragmenting data into disposable pieces across multiple cloud providers.

Mantle Technology helps organizations protect sensitive data by providing secure distributed storage technology. With it, you can fragment data across multiple providers, eliminate single points of failure, and reduce storage costs. Mantle transforms traditional backup approaches through distributed architecture.
