GBT Cloud Becomes First Reseller in Mexico to Offer Object First-Powered Backup-as-a-Service and Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service
GUADALAJARA, Mexico — November 3, 2025 — Addressing the growing need for ransomware-proof and immutable backup storage, GBT Cloud, a Veeam Cloud Service Provider (VCSP), today announced a new reseller partnership with Object First, the best storage for Veeam®. As part of the agreement, GBT Cloud will resell Object First’s secure, simple, and powerful backup storage appliance across Mexico. Additionally, GBT is the first reseller in Mexico to deploy Object First in its own data center to offer Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) to customers.
Ransomware continues to target backup data, and traditional security measures are falling short. According to recent research by Enterprise Strategy Group, ransomware remains one of the most pervasive cyber threats for the mid-market, with backup repositories targeted 96% of the time.
Object First delivers secure, simple, and powerful backup storage that’s absolutely immutable and purpose-built for Veeam. It’s simple to deploy and manage with no security expertise required and is powerful enough for lighting fast backups and supercharged Instant Recovery to scale with any business. Third-party tested and verified to be secure, Object First ransomware-proofs organizations and makes them simply resilient to cyber threats.
“We're taking resilience to the next level by integrating Object First, the immutable backup storage technology created by Veeam's founders,” said Ramón Castañeda, CEO, GBT Cloud. “This means all our services—IaaS, DRaaS, and BaaS—are protected against ransomware, human error, and accidental deletion. Today marks a significant milestone for GBT Cloud as we expand our presence in Mexico and introduce innovative solutions like Object First to the market. This collaboration modernizes data management and protection, aligning with global technology and security trends to help businesses remain secure.”
“We’re proud to partner with GBT Cloud as they lead the way in bringing ransomware-resilient backup storage to Mexico,” said Vitor Koga, Sales Representative for LATAM, Object First. “By reselling Object First and integrating it into its own data center and service offerings, GBT Cloud is empowering customers with secure, locally hosted backup and recovery options that meet compliance needs and strengthen cyber resilience.”
