What’s New with Ootbi?

Object First Ootbi

A 2U appliance that’s datacenter-ready, Ootbi offers the broadest range of capacity in the fleet—supporting individual node sizes from 20 to 432 TB. Each Ootbi setup allows for a cluster of four nodes, maxing out at 1.7 PB of usable immutable storage on a 4 x 432 TB cluster.

Nodes can be mixed and matched as desired
Performance scales linearly and automatically
1 GB/s on a single node to 4 GB/s on a four-node cluster
Note: 432 TB node offers 2 GB/s ingest speeds and up to 8 GB/s on a four-node cluster)

Object First Ootbi Mini

Our newest (and smallest) appliance is the Ootbi Mini. It is designed for remote and branch offices, the edge and small businesses, and comes in a convenient desktop tower form factor. Ootbi Mini is available in 8, 16 and 24 TB capacities, and can be clustered with other Ootbi Mini appliances.

Get Resilient with Absolute Immutability

Object First immutable backup storage is the ultimate defense against ransomware.
After a cyberattack, every second of downtime puts your revenue, compliance status and reputation at risk. Managing the chaos requires simple, tested solutions and processes.

Object First allows you to cut through the chaos and bounce back from attacks by enabling both IT Operations and Security teams to collaborate on rapid detection and recovery. CIOs and CISOs are able to reduce risk and ensure their organizations are simply resilient.

Ootbi is Secure:

Ootbi utilizes Veeam’s “direct-to-object” functionality, leveraging S3 object storage, providing security and immutability without sacrificing high-performance backup.
Third-party tested and constantly validated, our hardened object storage appliance with zero access to the operating system delivers an impenetrable target for Veeam backup data.
Ootbi’s hardware form factor guarantees separation between the Veeam Backup & Replication server, ensuring multiple resilience zones to stay Zero Trust Data Resilient.

Ootbi is Simple:

No expertise is required. Configuration requires 3 IPs, a username, password, and MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) setup. That’s it!
Additional nodes can be added in minutes with automatic scaling and load balancing supporting capacities of up to 1.7 PB on a cluster. No change to Veeam Namespace or Backup Repository configuration is required.
Updates are accessed directly from Object First servers, ensuring the Linux kernel and our proprietary object storage software stay secure and updated, mitigating the impact of zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits.

Ootbi is Powerful:

Instant Recovery is tested at scale with up to 80 VMs running on a 4-node cluster.
Purpose-built storage integrating Veeam's SOS API delivers primary storage ingest speeds (up to 8.0 GB/s) and scales linearly and automatically as additional nodes join the cluster.
Ootbi's Object storage was engineered explicitly to ingest and secure Veeam data at the default block encryption size, meaning no additional optimization or configuration is required.

With just a few simple networking steps, your Ootbi appliance will be updated and online, ready to tackle the next steps of carving out S3 storage.

Episode 3 - WebUI Configuration

In this third video in our Box-2-Backup series, Matt and Anthony showcase how simple it is to create the S3 Keys and S3 Buckets required to connect Object First Ootbi to Veeam. Object First Ootbi the best storage for Veeam.

Episode 4 - Add Ootbi to Veeam

In this fourth video in our Box-2-Backup series, Matt and Anthony educate on creating backup repositories in Veeam Backup and Replication version 12 that connect directly to Object First Ootbi.

Episode 5 - Backing Up to Ootbi

In the final video of our Box-2-Backup series, Matt and Anthony finish by running a Veeam backup job targeting Object First Ootbi S3 storage. Throughout this series, we showcased how immutable, simple, and powerful Object First Ootbi is.

Why Object Storage?

Object storage technology is best for the data backup and recovery use case. Object storage’s S3 native immutability, unlimited scalability, lower cost of storing large volumes of data, seamless on-premises-to-cloud data copy, simplified management, reliability, and availability made it our only choice when we built Ootbi.

Object First’s implementation of Object Storage
is best for backup and recovery use cases because:

Immutability
S3 native Object Lock. Secure, resilient, and purpose-built means data is isolated and untouchable.
Scalability
Object-based systems anticipate horizontal scalability, which never sacrifices performance for capacity.
Up to Date
Bugs, quirks, or limitations of a traditional file system are absent in object-based architectures.
On-Prem-to-Cloud
Secure and seamless on-premises-to-cloud data copy in S3 format with no overhead.
Reliability
The S3 protocol has guaranteed data delivery (unlike SMB or NFS), so businesses get end-to-end data reliability.
Availability
Natively solves many of the availability needs organizations consider when considering backup storage and the 3-2-1 backup rule.
