Object First provides immutable backup storage specifically for Veeam using Object storage

Ootbi by Object First is a target object appliance that allows users to directly write backups from Veeam to object storage on prem. Designed for midsize enterprises with constrained IT, Object First is ransomware-proof, powerful, easy- to-use, and affordable.

We solve four main problems in the market:

• Businesses fall victim to ransomware attacks every 11 seconds, and more often than ever, backups are the target.
• IT admins are often resource constrained and never have enough time to focus on high value strategic initiatives.
• Data loss and downtime are not tolerated at any size organization. Ensuring data is protected and instantly recoverable is critical.
• IT departments are no stranger to being asked to do more with less and solutions must fit their narrow budget envelopes.

We’re unique in that Ootbi is ransomware-proof and immutable out-of-the-box. Object First delivers simple, powerful, and affordable backup storage for Veeam customers. The solution can be racked, stacked, and powered in 15-minutes. Ootbi is built on immutable object storage technology that is designed and optimized for unbeatable backup and recovery performance. We eliminate the need to sacrifice performance, and simplicity to meet budget constraints.

We are very early to this market, unique in our offering as well as our target market sector. We do not consider any other vendors to be directly competitive due to Object First providing a different type of object storage as we are a primary, on prem backup target. Moreover, we are focused on delivering something more concentrated than current enterprise solutions.

Anyone who is part of the Veeam Alliance Technical Partner Program and is interested in our on-prem object storage solution.

Object First was created with intention for mid-enterprise organizations with constrained IT who need ransomware resiliency.

• We define mid-enterprise based on amount of data storage needed rather than employee number.

Mid-size enterprises already using Veeam.

Object Storage can come across as a modern technology that only exist in cloud. It is often regulated to cutting-edge distributed cloud apps or used in the cloud for a LTR backup as a tape replacement. However, when deployed locally, it has the capability to create a simple set up with powerful performance that upholds modern secure ransomware resiliency.

Object First offers perfect secured storage layers that Veeam does not have. Today Veeam users must solely rely on expensive third-party primary targets that do not provide the simplicity or security of Object First. This solution was built for Veeam and the people who administer it. It fills in all the gaps created by third-party vendors who make storage that is designed for the larger market.
