Cloudian Integration of HyperStore Object Storage with Veeam Data Platform Including Veeam Backup & Replication V12

Cloudian, Inc. announced the integration of its HyperStore object storage with the Veeam Data Platform, which includes Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) v12.

This release of the platform lets customers simplify their data protection workflow by storing data directly to Cloudian on-prem object storage, eliminating the need for the primary backup tier and the associated costs. Cost savings will be further increased by up to 70% with the company’s solution when compared to a public cloud solution. This offering also enhances ransomware protection by immediately moving data to an immutable storage platform that is protected from hacker encryption.

Traditional backup workflows require multiple layers of storage platforms, including an intermediate layer for short-term storage, and a second layer – which is typically object storage – for longer-term data retention. The Veeam Data Platform and Cloudian solution, for the 1st time, allows data to be stored directly to the firm’s secure object storage platform, thus eliminating the need for the costly intermediate layer.

“Organizations need solutions to help them protect more data, with fast, reliable recovery,” said Larissa Crandall, VP channel and alliances, Veeam. “The new Veeam Data Platform is a single platform delivering more advanced data security, recovery, and hybrid cloud capabilities than ever before. Cloudian is leveraging the Veeam Data Platform, which includes VBR v12, to provide best-in-class secure backup, and fast, reliable recovery that keeps businesses running. With a direct-to-object storage workflow, we’re excited to bring this solution to our joint customers so they can benefit from solid ransomware protection and operational efficiencies.”

With the company’s solution as a target for the Data Platform, organizations will now be able to take advantage of HyperStore’s benefits for all data under Veeam management, including:

• Ransomware protection (S3 Object Lock): create immutable backups that prevent cybercriminals from deleting or altering data, enabling fast recovery of the uninfected data without paying ransom

• Enterprise-grade security: protect data with encryption in flight and at rest, integrated firewall, RBAC/IAM and SAML access controls, and certification with the regulatory requirements, such as Common Criteria, FIPS and SEC Rule 17a-4(f)

• Data durability: configurable up to 14 nines of data availability to protect data from device failures

Additionally, the company announced support for Veeam’s Smart Object Storage API (SOSAPI), allowing Veeam users to access HyperStore usage metrics from within the Veeam console to manage and plan their capacity utilization more easily.

“The new Veeam Data Platform and Cloudian solution represents a breakthrough in operational efficiency, security, and cost,” said Larry Meese, VP, products and solutions, Cloudian. “By eliminating the intermediate staging layer required for other solutions, the Veeam Data Platform and Cloudian solution simplifies the workflow, accelerates backup to a ransomware-protected platform, and reduces the overall storage cost.”
