Scality unveiled a new
line of ARTESCA all-flash hardware appliances - adding another deployment choice for
its industry-leading immutable backup storage solution for Veeam Backup &
Replication.
Building on
Scality ARTESCA's leading ransomware protection with CORE5 end-to-end
cyber-resiliency, the new all-flash appliance harnesses the power of AMDTM
processors and all-flash NVMe drives to provide fast restore capabilities at a
50% lower price point than competing solutions, making it affordable for both
large and medium-sized enterprises.
The new all-flash
appliance is offered as a rack-mount appliance and is available in the
following choices of storage capacity:
- 1U
appliance: 41 TB of usable all-flash storage capacity
- 1U
appliance: 82 TB of usable all-flash storage capacity
- 1U
appliance: 165 TB of usable all-flash storage capacity
The ARTESCA
all-flash appliance provides fast backup and restore performance at a price
point that is accessible to businesses of all sizes. For the best blend of
performance, reliability and data durability, the appliance is configured with
NVMe TLC (triple-level Cell) drives.
Veeam Ready
Repository Validation
The increased
performance of all-flash as well as the optimized ARTESCA S3 API for Veeam,
accelerates Veeam backup and restore workloads, including Instant VM Recovery,
to achieve Veeam Ready Repository validation.
The all-flash
appliance is built on ARTESCA's leading immutability and end-to-end
cyber-resiliency capabilities, termed CORE5,
which provide 5 levels of protection against cyber threats:
- API-level
resilience through Amazon S3 object locking
- Data-level
resilience through 256-bit encryption-at-rest, secure connections and MFA
- Storage-level
resilience through erasure coding
- Geographic-level
resilience through asynchronous replication
- Architecture-level
resilience through an integrated, security-hardened operating system
The ARTESCA
hardware appliance will be available in Q4 2024, starting in the U.S. through
Scality's Ingram Micro reseller partners. Prices start at under $58K.
Eric Leblanc,
GM of ARTESCA, Scality Inc.
"As we head into the final months of 2024, we anticipate a strong growth
trajectory for ARTESCA globally. To meet rising demand, we're committed to
providing customers with flexible deployment options that suit their specific
requirements. Our new all-flash appliance offers a high-performance solution at
a competitive price, empowering customers to accelerate their operations
cost-effectively."
ARTESCA has
maintained a steady trajectory of growth in the global channel. Year-to-date,
VAR partner participation is on track to more than double, and ARTESCA
sell-through is steadily increasing. DCIG analysts gave ARTESCA top marks
in its latest report as one of the top 5
midmarket SDS object backup targets.
Jerome Wendt,
CEO and Principal Analyst, DCIG
"Like other object-based backup targets, ARTESCA offers data
immutability. However, Scality goes beyond immutability by incorporating
five levels of cyber resilience functionality into ARTESCA from
API-to-architecture."
