Scality Artesca 1U All-Flash Appliances to Accelerate Recovery of Business-critical Data with Extreme Backup Protection

Scality SA unveiled a new line of Artesca all-flash hardware appliances – adding another deployment choice for its immutable backup storage solution for Veeam Backup & Replication.

Building on the company’s Artesca’s ransomware protection with CORE5 end-to-end cyber-resiliency, the new all-flash appliance harnesses the power of AMD 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.

New all-flash appliance is offered as rack-mount appliance and is available in following choices of storage capacity:

1U appliance: 41TB of usable all-flash storage capacity
1U appliance: 82TB of usable all-flash storage capacity
1U appliance: 165TB 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 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 immutability and end-to-end cyber-resiliency capabilities, termed CORE5 , which provide 5 levels of protection vs. 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 OS

The Artesca hardware appliance will be available in Q4 2024, starting in the U.S. through the company’s Ingram Micro reseller partners. Prices start at under $58,000.

Eric Leblanc, GM, Artesca, Scality, said: “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 1 of the top 5 midmarket SDS object backup targets.

Jerome Wendt, CEO and principal analyst, DCIG said: “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.“
