Ransomware-Proof

Meet Ootbi: Out-of-the-box immutability

In a world where businesses fall victim to ransomware every 11 seconds, and backups are often the target, Ootbi’s out-of-the-box immutability helps make backup data ransomware-proof.

Designed around zero trust and data security principles with built-in immutability, Ootbi helps drastically reduce the risk of ransomware affecting backup data. A customized hardened Linux operating system doubles down on security, and zero access to root or operating system means even the most privileged user cannot alter Ootbi or its immutable data.

Ransomware Resilience

Zero Trust Data Resilience (ZTDR) Architecture

Ootbi is inherently separated from the Veeam Backup & Replication server due to the ZTDR architecture and secure appliance form factor. This ensures the proper segmentation between Backup Software and Backup Storage layers to ensure ransomware resilience.

Why Object Storage?

Object storage technology is best for the data backup and recovery use case. Object storage’s S3 native immutability, unlimited scalability, lower cost of storing large volumes of data, seamless on-premises-to-cloud data copy, simplified management, reliability, and availability made it our only choice when we built Ootbi.

Object First’s implementation of Object Storage is the best for backup and recovery use cases because:

Immutability

S3 native Object Lock. Secure, resilient, and purpose-built means data is isolated and untouchable.

Scalability

Object-based systems anticipate horizontal scalability, which never sacrifices performance for capacity.

Up to Date

Bugs, quirks, or limitations of a traditional file system are absent in object-based architectures.

On-Prem-to-Cloud

Secure and seamless on-premises-to-cloud data copy in S3 format with no overhead.

Reliability

The S3 protocol has guaranteed data delivery (unlike SMB or NFS), so businesses get end-to-end data reliability.

Availability

Natively solves many of the availability needs organizations consider when considering backup storage and the 3-2-1 backup rule.
