In 2023, AI has been dominating much of the IT conversation. But
Ransomware remains a key topic as it continues to threaten organizations
of all sizes. As businesses strive to protect their critical data,
Object First emerges as a game-changer with their Ootbi solution.
In
this exclusive VMblog interview as part of our VMware Explore US 2023
coverage, we sit down with Anthony Cusimano, chief evangelist of Object
First, to explore the innovative features of Ootbi and its role in
providing simple, powerful, and affordable backup storage for Veeam
customers.
Ransomware, Immutability and the Power of Object First Ootbi.
Anthony Cusimano provides valuable insights into the who, what and why
of Object First's Ootbi. Built with a focus on simplicity, power, and
affordability, Ootbi empowers Veeam customers to safeguard their data
with ease. By combining advanced backup storage technology with
ransomware-proof features, Ootbi ensures data integrity and protection,
even in the face of sophisticated attacks. A key aspect of Ootbi is its
immutability feature. By making backup data immutable, Object First
prevents ransomware from tampering with or encrypting critical files.
This ensures that organizations can recover their data securely, without
falling prey to extortion. Anthony Cusimano dives into the technical
details of how Ootbi achieves immutability, highlighting its
effectiveness in thwarting ransomware attacks. And we take a look at how
Object First partners with VMware and solves problems for VMware users
and VMware implementations.
