Larry Meese, VP of products and solutions at Cloudian, issued an announcement statement: “By eliminating the intermediate staging layer required for other solutions, the Veeam Data Platform and Cloudian solution simplifies the workflow, accelerates backup to a ransomware-protected platform, and reduces the overall storage cost.” It says that using HyperStore in this way can save up to 70 percent when compared to a public cloud backup storage alternative. CloudianĬloudian says its HyperStore used as a direct-to-object repository removes the need for a primary, file-based backup tier and its associated costs, and enables immutability straight away, via S3 Object Lock. We also understand that you can go straight from the performance object tier to the long-term retention (archive) tier without passing through an intermediate capacity tier. You can’t mix object and non-object storage and you can’t mix object storage platforms – such as AWS, Azure, and Google GCS in the public cloud, and Cloudian, Object First, Pure Storage and Scality in the on-premises world. We understand there some caveats with Veeam’s direct to object storage. But backup software products now do the compress/dedupe functionality in nearly all cases, so the benefits of this have become generally universal to all storage. They typically come with claims of very high data reduction ratios. Scality points out that these are offered as a range of single or dual-headed (HA) appliances with integrated deduplication and compression. These four object storage systems are alternatives to purpose-built backup appliances (PBBA) – such as Dell’s PowerProtect, HPE StoreOnce, Quantum DXi and the ExaGrid scale-out system. Note added about VAST Data support of Veeam’s direct write to object feature, and SOSAPI. Footnote added about Veeam Ready – Object with Immutability partner category. Cloudian, Object First, Pure Storage and Scality are the four initial object storage targets for version 12 of Veeam Backup and Recovery, which has added the ability to back up directly to object storage on-premises.
