IDrive e2 S3 Object Storage with Optimized Performance for Veeam Backup & Replication V12

Idrive e2 enabling Veeam Software, Inc.’s users to store large amounts of data securely in the cloud while providing faster backup and recovery times.

IDrive e2 is an object storage solution designed to provide users with the flexibility and scalability they need to manage their data effectively. It is for backups, hosting applications, media workflow, gaming assets, e-commerce resources, and other large volumes of data.

With the recent API optimizations and performance enhancements of IDrive e2, Veeam users can perform backups and recoveries faster. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on Veeam to protect their data.

The service works with Veeam Backup & Replication v12, this version which offers direct-to-cloud object storage, allowing users to set cloud object storage as a primary target for their backups. This provides IT operations teams with a simpler way to scale their data protection operations and employs the advantages of immutability to ensure their data is secure from any threats. Backing up files directly to cloud object storage reduces the complexity of managing backups and minimizes spend on new storage hardware.

To help protect against ransomware, the company offers Object Lock, meaning that backups cannot be deleted or altered until the end of the retention period. This provides an immutable copy of data for guaranteed integrity when it is time to recover that data.

Users of other integrations such as Rclone, MSP360, and more can also take advantage of these performance enhancements.

With a straightforward, tierless pricing approach, the solution is an affordable object storage solution, with the first 10GB free and pricing starting at $0.004/GB/month. The service costs 85% less than AWS S3 with no ingress/egress fees, as well as being one of the few solutions available that does not charge an extra fee for downloading data.

The company has 14 edge locations across the USA, Canada, and Europe, meaning users all over the world are able to point their data to the closest to them for better latency and ease of access, as well as retrieve their data based on their convenience. This provides the fastest possible response time for all S3 API calls no matter what region the user is located in.
