Scality, a pioneer in cyber-resilient storage for the AI era, unveiled a first-of-its-kind unified software appliance developed in collaboration with Veeam® Software, a pioneer in data resilience.  The solution combines Veeam Backup & Replication™ software, part of the Veeam Data Platform, with Scality ARTESCA — cyber-resilient object storage software — in a single, streamlined software appliance.  Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam is a unified software appliance that provides a combined deployment of best-of-breed ARTESCA and Veeam software co-located on a single host server. The solution completely eliminates the need for separate (physical or virtual) infrastructure for Veeam, thereby reducing deployment complexity, time, and cost by up to 30%. The solution can be deployed on the customer's choice of hardware platforms, such as HPE, Supermicro, and Lenovo. ARTESCA+ Veeam unified software appliance Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam builds upon the three once told software, hardware, and virtual appliance “As the #1 global pioneer in data resilience, Veeam is thrilled to collaborate with Scality on the launch of the ARTESCA+ Veeam unified software appliance,” said Andreas Neufert, Vice President of Product Management, Alliances at Veeam. “This innovative solution simplifies the deployment of our industry-pioneering data resilience software alongside Scality's robust object storage, making it easier for organisations to enhance their cyber resilience. Scality has integrated Veeam into this new solution, combining our strengths to empower our joint customers to create secure defences against cyber threats while optimising their backup operations.” Scality ARTESCA+ Veeam builds upon the three previously announced software, hardware, and virtual appliance deployment offerings, making Scality the most versatile and flexible object storage backup target on the market. Key benefits of ARTESCA+ Veeam Ultra-simplified, foolproof deployment: Ensures fast and simple configuration of backup and storage for immutability and end-to-end cyber-resilience. Increased security: Veeam and Scality ARTESCA running on a single, CORE5-hardened software appliance built on zero-trust principles provides the most secure operation.  Restricted credential and endpoint exposure: Access key/secret key stays within ARTESCA, and the S3 endpoint no longer needs external DNS resolution, reducing attack vectors. Embedded firewall protection: Predefined firewall secures Veeam components, enforcing zero trust and least privilege by restricting access to necessary ports. Secure Windows access: Managed through ARTESCA Identity Manager with MFA, ensuring only authorised users can log in. Non-disruptive integrity checks: Self-sufficient by design, the appliance runs SureBackup Lite and backup content scans independently — without impacting the production system.
