Scality ARTESCA + Veeam solution reduces complexity, time, and costs. The software is designed to run on customer-preferred hardware platforms.
Scality has introduced a new unified software appliance developed in collaboration with Veeam® Software. The Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam solution integrates Veeam Backup & Replication™ software with Scality ARTESCA’s cyber-resilient object storage software. By combining the two solutions on a single host server, the appliance reduces deployment complexity, time, and costs by up to 30%.
The Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam software appliance is designed to run on customer-preferred hardware platforms, including HPE, Supermicro, and Lenovo, offering flexibility and compatibility for diverse IT environments. This collaboration between Scality and Veeam represents a significant step in simplifying backup and storage operations while enhancing cyber resilience.
Simplifying Deployment and Enhancing Cyber Resilience
The unified software appliance builds on Scality’s existing deployment options, including software, hardware, and virtual appliances, making it the market’s most versatile object storage backup target. Combining Scality’s robust object storage capabilities with Veeam’s industry-leading data resilience software delivers a seamless, secure, and efficient backup experience.
Andreas Neufert, Veeam’s Vice President of Product Management and Alliances, expressed excitement over collaborating with Scality to launch the ARTESCA+ Veeam unified software appliance. This solution streamlines the integration of Veeam’s data resilience software with Scality’s object storage, helping organizations improve their cyber resilience. The partnership aims to provide customers with robust defenses against cyber threats and optimize their backup operations.
Key Benefits of Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam
Simplified Deployment
The appliance is designed for fast and foolproof configuration, enabling organizations to achieve end-to-end cyber resilience with minimal effort. By consolidating Veeam and ARTESCA on a single host server, the solution eliminates the need for separate physical or virtual infrastructure, significantly reducing deployment complexity, time, and costs. This streamlined approach ensures that IT teams can focus on strategic initiatives instead of managing complex setups.
Enhanced Security
Built on zero-trust principles, the Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam appliance incorporates multiple layers of security to safeguard critical data. Access Key/Secret Key credentials remain securely within ARTESCA, while the S3 endpoint no longer requires external DNS resolution, minimizing potential attack vectors. A predefined embedded firewall further secures Veeam components by restricting access to essential ports and enforcing the principle of least privilege. Additionally, secure Windows access is managed through ARTESCA Identity Manager, which utilizes multi-factor authentication (MFA), ensuring that only authorized users can log in. These robust security measures provide peace of mind for organizations looking to protect their data from cyber threats.
Non-Disruptive Integrity Checks
The appliance is designed to be self-sufficient, running SureBackup Lite and backup content scans independently of production systems. This ensures data integrity without disrupting ongoing operations, allowing businesses to maintain high availability and reliability in their IT environments.
Predictable Performance and Cost Efficiency
By running Veeam and ARTESCA on dedicated hardware, the appliance delivers consistent, predictable performance with greater resource availability than hypervisor-based deployments. This architecture ensures that organizations can meet demanding workload requirements without compromising efficiency. Furthermore, the unified software appliance reduces acquisition, support, and operating expenses by eliminating the need for separate server and storage infrastructure, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes.
Operational Simplicity and Channel-Friendly Design
The Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam appliance simplifies management with a unified dashboard that provides centralized monitoring of both ARTESCA and Veeam components. This integrated approach streamlines operations and simplifies troubleshooting. Additionally, the appliance’s simple sizing and ordering process make it easy for resellers and customers to deploy, enhancing its appeal in the channel market and ensuring a smooth sales and implementation experience.
By addressing critical challenges in deployment, security, performance, and cost, the Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam unified software appliance sets a new standard for backup and storage solutions, empowering organizations to build resilient, efficient, and future-ready IT environments.
Flexible Sizing and Deployment Options
The Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam appliance is initially available as a single-node configuration, offering flexibility to accommodate a wide range of virtual machine (VM) and capacity requirements. Customers can scale from 20 VMs/TBs to hundreds of VMs/TBs, ensuring the solution meets the needs of both small and large environments.
This flexibility, combined with ARTESCA’s simplicity and low entry pricing, has transformed Scality’s go-to-market strategy for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). The solution is supported by a robust ecosystem of value-added resellers (VARs), cloud and service providers, and strategic distributors. Notably, 60% of Scality’s record-breaking 2024 revenue was driven through the channel, underscoring the importance of this approach.
Unlocking New Revenue Streams for Partners
Scality’s recent launch of a pay-as-you-go combined pricing model for Scality Cloud and service providers introduces a lucrative subscription model for Veeam VCSP partners. This model enables partners to offer flexible and scalable solutions to their customers while unlocking new revenue streams.
Driving the Future of Backup and Cyber Resilience
The Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam unified software appliance represents a significant backup and storage technology advancement. Integrating Veeam’s data resilience software with Scality’s cyber-resilient object storage enables organizations to strengthen their defenses against cyber threats, optimize backup operations, and lower costs. With its simplified deployment, robust security features, and flexible sizing options, the appliance is poised to become a cornerstone of modern IT environments.
