GTS Partners with Object First to Strengthen Data Security in Peru

Addressing the growing need for ransomware-proof immutable backup storage

Lima, Peru — April 8th, 2025 — GTS, a Veeam partner, announced a strategic partnership with Object First, the creator of Ootbi (Out-of-the-Box-Immutability), the ransomware-proof backup storage appliance purpose-built for Veeam. This collaboration enables GTS to distribute secure, simple, and powerful backup storage solutions across Peru.

Ransomware continues to target backup data, and traditional security measures are falling short. According to recent research by Informa TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group, almost every organization (96%) has experienced a ransomware attack in the past two years and their backup data has been targeted at least once.

Veeam founders Ratmir Timashev and Andrei Baronov co-founded Object First to address the growing demand for secure and reliable backup storage solutions. Ootbi, purpose-built for Veeam, was designed to enhance the Veeam ecosystem by delivering a seamless, tightly integrated storage solution tailored to Veeam’s backup software.

This partnership seeks to integrate advanced data management and storage solutions. Edgard Casas, GTS Manager, explains, “In an environment dedicated to data protection managed by Veeam, Ootbi by Object First is the ideal solution for backing up and recovering information quickly and reliably.”

"Ootbi is the only immutable backup storage solution purpose-built for Veeam customers, delivering unmatched security and performance," said Vitor Koga, Sales Representative for LATAM at Object First. "With ransomware-proof, out-of-the-box immutability, ingest speeds of up to 4.0GB/s, Veeam Instant Recovery tested for 80 VMs, and a hardened operating system with zero root access, Ootbi ensures businesses can safeguard their critical data with confidence."

This partnership marks an exciting milestone for GTS as they expand their presence in Peru 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 stay ahead.
