Secure, Simple, and Powerful

Object First delivers Zero Trust, S3-native, absolutely immutable storage—optimized for unbeatable backup and recovery. Requiring no security expertise, the Ootbi appliance can be racked, stacked, and powered in 15 minutes.

Secure

  • Uses Veeam’s direct-to-object functionality, leveraging S3-native object storage for secure, high-performance backup built on Zero Trust architecture.

  • Hardened appliance with Zero Access to perform destructive actions to the firmware, OS or data.

  • Hardware form factor guarantees strict separation of backup software and backup storage servers, ensuring multiple resilience zones to stay Zero Trust data resilient.

Simple

  • No security 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 in 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 new vulnerabilities and exploits.

Powerful

  • Purpose-built storage that integrates Veeam's SOS API and delivers ingest speeds up to 8.0 GB/s.

  • Designed to supercharge Veeam Instant Recovery.

  • Engineered to ingest and secure encrypted Veeam data at the default block size. No reconfiguration of Veeam storage or security settings is required.

Secure backup storage in a changing market

AI is driving the demand for computing hardware, squeezing the global storage supply chain. But postponing your storage investment isn’t the answer. Market conditions aren’t changing soon, and neither is the threat landscape. Immutable backup storage is the foundation of your security strategy, and starving your storage investments can put you at significant enterprise risk.

How Object First’s consumption model helps:

  • No large upfront investment

    avoid heavy capital commitments

  • Predictable monthly billing

    pay based on actual usage

  • Protection from rising costs

    lock in your rate over time

  • Flexible scaling

    grow from a single appliance to multi-cluster environments

Absolute Immutability for Everyone

Object First supports a wide range of backup use cases—from mid-size and large enterprises to remote offices, edge locations, and small businesses. Appliances support capacities from 8 TB to 7 PB, with multi-node clustering for easy, automated scalability. Choose between a pay-per-use Consumption-based subscription model or a traditional CapEx purchasing model to fit your budget and growth strategy.

Object First Ootbi

Our enterprise-grade appliances can be racked and ready to ingest backup data in just 15 minutes.

Multiple nodes can be clustered together, enabling automatic scaling and load balancing, and multiple clusters can be deployed to support capacities that scale beyond 7 PB of immutable storage.

Scale with Simplicity

Object First is optimized and tested for high speed Veeam backup and recovery. Capacity and performance scale linearly when adding additional nodes, supporting backup speeds up to 8 GB/s (depending on node count and cluster configuration).

Cluster capacity can range from a single node with 8 TB to a maxed-out cluster of 4x432 TB, offering 1.7 PB of usable immutable storage per cluster.

Object First is designed to scale easily and efficiently as your organization expands its immutable backup storage footprint.

Starting at 10 TB when purchased as Consumption

Chart showing that as storage capacity increases from 0 to 1.7 PB, performance scales linearly from 2 GB/s to 8 GB/s, while management overhead remains constant at 2 GB/s. This illustrates that capacity growth improves performance without adding management overhead.

What Partners and Customers Are Saying

Ootbi is much faster than our other backup storage. This is allowing us to backup faster and then replicate that data out faster.

Absolute Immutability:
The Ultimate Ransomware Defense

The only guaranteed path to recovery after a ransomware attack is to maintain reliable backups with Absolute Immutability. This means data cannot be altered or deleted by anyone, even the most privileged admin.

Learn how to implement Absolute Immutability by following three core principles:
  • S3 Object Storage
  • Zero Time to Immutability
  • Target Storage Appliance

Object First ensures Absolute Immutability, so whatever happens—ransomware, insider threats, or credential breaches—your backup data remains protected and recoverable.
