OSNexus, the leading developer of grid-scale software-defined storage solutions, today announced that it has achieved Veeam® Ready qualification for Object Immutability on its QuantaStor platform. This qualification from Veeam, the leader in Modern Data Protection, enables QuantaStor users to S3 bucket object lock in order to satisfy compliance requirements for Veeam backups in regulated industries including Finance and Healthcare.

QuantaStor combined with Veeam provides a flexible, scalable backup solution that combines Veeam’s powerful Modern Data Protection and recovery with QuantaStor’s multi-protocol, feature-rich storage platform. This combination enables organizations to manage all of their storage as one while ensuring availability, securing data, and reducing operational storage costs.

OSNexus, as a Veeam Technology Alliance Partner (VAP), has qualified QuantaStor through Veeam Ready as both an object storage and a file storage (NAS) repository making it an ideal storage platform for rack-scale MSP/CSP backup storage and dedicated backup storage deployments.

"The object storage with immutability that QuantaStor 6 brings is key to protecting backups from ransomware and other security threats," said Steven Umbehocker, CEO of OSNexus. “We are very pleased to bring this new level of Veeam solution to our customers as it will help organizations meet their ever increasing data security and protection requirements.”

With QuantaStor’s scale-out object storage solution, Veeam customers have access to immutable storage technology that, when paired with Veeam Backup & Replication, provides multi-layered protection against ransomware and other data threats.”

The Veeam Ready Program provides a solution qualification and testing process to help Veeam Alliance Partner Program members meet Veeam standards. Achieving Veeam Ready status designates the highest level of qualification and testing for storage products by established partners.
