Continued Momentum in Customer, Partner and
Bookings Growth for Object First’s Ootbi—the Best Storage for
Veeam
Object First, the provider of Ootbi
(Out-of-the-Box-Immutability), the ransomware-proof backup storage
appliance purpose-built for Veeam®, today announced a bookings
surge in Q1 2024, fueled by growth in new customers and partners in
North America and EMEA. Compared to Q1 of 2023, Object First
bookings grew 822% worldwide and 560% in North America. The company
launched Ootbi in February 2023.
“Building on a strong 2023, Object First accelerated our
bookings growth in Q1 2024, anticipating the need for
ransomware-proof immutable backup storage that is secure, simple
and powerful,” said David Bennet, CEO at Object First. “The strong
growth in our partner and customer base, especially among those
leveraging our larger capacity appliances, reflects the need to
secure growing volumes of backup data and ensure rapid and complete
recovery when disasters occur.”
More Deployments, Bigger Deployments
Object First continued its record of significant growth in Ootbi
deployments, recording 57 in Q1 2024, a 714% increase over Q1 2023.
Of those, three were over six figures, a 200% increase over the
same quarter last year. The company recorded a 700% increase in
deals that included two or more Ootbi appliances, and demand for
the larger capacity 128TB units grew at 1,050% year-over-year in
the first quarter.
To address demand from both partners and customers to store
ever-growing quantities of backup data securely, Object First
announced a 192TB appliance on June 3, 2024, at the VeeamON
conference, adding to the existing Ootbi portfolio of 64TB and
128TB units. This 192TB release unlocks up to 768TB of usable
immutable backup storage per Ootbi cluster and integrates
seamlessly with Veeam's 12.1.2 release, facilitating backup storage
capacities exceeding 3 petabytes as part of a Veeam backup
repository.
Partner and Customer Growth Gets Industry Recognition
Object First saw significant partner and customer growth over
Q1, with customers increasing 300% worldwide over the same quarter
last year, and partners 637%.
These new and expanded relationships include resellers like
Insight and Sentinel Technologies; Veeam Cloud Service Providers
like IT2Grow and Viyu Network Solutions (also a customer); and
customers like Centerbase. Object First adoption is based on making
the most advanced, secure, immutable backup storage easy to deploy
and manage. As stated by Zach Young, Director of IT at Centerbase,
“Most importantly, our Ootbi just works. Set it and forget it. I
can’t wait to budget for another one!”
Growth in EMEA is a strategic focus for Object First, and the
company saw 400% growth in customers in Q1 2024 compared to the
prior year. In Q1, the company announced partnerships with
distributors across Europe, including Copaco (BeNeLux region),
Pedab (Scandinavia - Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Poland,
Balkans), and V-Valley (Spain).
This track record of growth and the value provided to partners
and customers worldwide was recognized by CRN in Q1, who included
Object First in the annual CRN 2024 Partner Program Guide.
