Simplifying Veeam Backups with Immutability

Not all object storage solutions for Veeam backups are created equal. The main challenge with Veeam is the large number of small objects it generates in the backup process. OSNexus QuantaStor has unique features to directly address that through dynamic intelligent data placement for Veeam backups. With QuantaStor, your small Veeam objects are automatically routed into your flash storage while larger backup objects are routed into your hybrid erasure-coded storage tier. Thereby maintaining consistent high performance and space efficiency.

QuantaStor is integrated with the Veeam SOSAPI that reports back to Veeam available capacity in the object store and is validated for Object Storage with Immutability.
