The software-defined managed storage platform iCAS FS from archive and backup storage specialist iTernity GmbH is now qualified as "Veeam Ready Object with Immutability" for data protection and immutable ransomware protection for the latest version Veeam Backup & Replication™ v12. The Veeam® Software Ready seal assures customers that the storage solution is compatible with Veeam Backup & Replication™ v12 features.

A look at the latest expert survey from Veeam®, the 2023 Ransomware Trends Report, shows why this is important: 85% of IT managers surveyed for the study said their company had been the victim of at least one cyberattack in the past 12 months. This represents an alarming 76% increase over the previous year. Consequently, ransomware continues to be probably the greatest current operational risk for companies.

The Trend Report results make it clear: a well-thought-out backup strategy is essential for securing business operations and has never been more important for companies and organizations than it is today. Modern data protection must therefore take into account the complete architecture, from the backup software to the storage infrastructure.

The new Veeam Backup & Replication™ v12 in combination with iTernity iCAS FS streamlines the backup architecture and significantly increases the security of the data, as it can be written directly to iCAS FS as Immutable Object Storage without any intermediate steps (Veeam direct-to-object). The data stored here cannot be changed, manipulated or deleted, data integrity and availability are comprehensively protected, and recovery is easily possible within a very short time.

In addition, iCAS FS has a low total cost of ownership because it runs on cost-effective x86 standard servers and delivers high performance even with HDD hardware. iCAS FS also enables data replication across multiple sites, providing optimized multi-datacenter strategies for Veeam users.

"With the immutable object storage solution iCAS FS as a direct on-prem backup storage target for Veeam v12, we offer our customers across industries, in addition to audit-proof archiving and long-term data storage, an important additional use case of our proven central platform" emphasizes Ralf Steinemann, CEO of iTernity. "Thanks to our managed storage approach and easy scalability into the petabyte range, we take the burden off IT departments and make business-critical data of all kinds ransomware-proof and ready for the future."

Veeam® users can rely on iCAS FS as a data storage platform that delivers simplicity, low total cost of ownership, and flexibility, eliminating unnecessary cost, complexity, and potential points of failure. Unprotected data silos from backup appliances, complex architectures, and costly and time-consuming maintenance that burdens the corporate IT department are a thing of the past with iTernity’s software-defined managed storage solution.
