VAD Adistec in Miami, FL, Distributor of Object First

Object First, Inc., maker of Ootbi (Out-of-the-Box-Immutability), a backup storage appliance purpose-built for Veeam, announced the appointment of Adistec Corp. as the primary distributor for their resellers’ network in Latin America.

Established by Veeam founders Ratmir Timashev and Andrei Baronov, Object First helps mid-size organizations ransomware-proof their backups by delivering effortless out-of-the-box immutability.

Ootbi by Object First is designed and optimized to be the best storage for Veeam:

• Secure with out-of-the-box immutability that ransomware-proofs backups.
• Simple to deploy and manage with no training or security expertise required.
• Powerful to support ultra-fast backups and instant recovery.

“Ransomware continues to be one of the greatest cyber risks, and over 90% of attacks attempt to destroy backup data,” said David Bennett, CEO, Object First. “Immutable backups are the best defense vs. ransomware.  Object First makes immutable backup storage simple with Ootbi, delivering unbeatable performance without complex management overhead. We are thrilled to extend our presence to Latin America with Adistec to meet the strong demand from Veeam users.“

By establishing Adistec as its distributor, Object First will leverage its expertise in the territory to accelerate growth.

Based in Miami, FL, Adistec is a VAD of datacenter, networking and security solutions, specializing in meeting the business and technology requirements of regions across Latin America. It complements its product portfolio with cloud services running in several proprietary datacenters, as well as consulting and educational services. Many media, IT and networking companies, including Fortune 1,000 brands, rely on Adistec to extend their market reach and ensure customer delivery.

Fabian Sperman, president, Adistec, said: “Given Veeam’s number one market share in the region, the opportunity for an immutable backup solution optimized specifically for Veeam is huge.  By combining the commercial and technological capabilities of Adistec with Object First’s expertise, we will be able to reach organizations throughout Latin America to deliver the effective data protection they need.  Adistec is proud to include Object First in our portfolio. We look forward to contributing to the success of Object First and its resellers while helping them expand into new markets.“

Quebert Soto, CTO, Adistec said: “Administrators can install Ootbi hardware in 15mn, with no security expertise needed. Immutable out-of-the-box, it prevents users from changing data and reduces the risk of ransomware. With Ootbi, users can scale linearly – up to half a petabyte – to cover a wide range of use cases. Using innovative optimization technology, backup speeds can exceed 4.0GB/s and recovery speeds 2.4GB/s on a complete 4-node cluster.“
