Demand for Ransomware-Proof Backup Storage
Drives Strong Worldwide Growth
Object First, the provider of Ootbi
(Out-of-the-Box-Immutability), the ransomware-proof backup storage
appliance purpose-built for Veeam®, today announced strong growth
in Q2 2024 with bookings growth of 600% compared to the same period
last year. This continued momentum underscores the demand for
immutable backup storage that offers unmatched protection from
security risks like ransomware.
“I’m thrilled to see strong growth across all dimensions of
Object First’s business as we build momentum with new products, an
expanding network of partners and customers, and robust bookings,”
said David Bennet, CEO at Object First. “Our unique approach of
delivering the best storage for Veeam with a secure, simple and
powerful solution is resonating with organizations that need
greater resilience from ransomware.”
Increased Deployments Fuel Rapid Growth
The demand for Object First’s Ootbi in Q2 2024 yielded strong
bookings for both the 64TB and 128TB appliance versions, increasing
by 1,580% and 425 year-over-year, respectively. The company closed
multiple deals over six figures in the quarter.
Unveiling Larger Storage Capacity for Ootbi
In June at VeeamON 2024, Object First announced increased
storage capacity of up to 192TB on a single Ootbi node, unlocking
up to 768TB of usable immutable backup storage per cluster. The
latest release allows customers to manage storage capacity more
efficiently and back up data more securely without sacrificing
performance. The 192TB version of Ootbi joins the existing 64TB and
128TB appliances, all of which are interoperable. Continuous
integration with Veeam's 12.1.2 release allows for even greater
backup storage capacities beyond 3PB as part of a Veeam backup
repository.
Global Partner and Customer Expansion
Object First continued to expand its global ecosystem of
partners, with a 300% year-over-year increase in transacting
partners in Q2 2024. These include Veeam Accredited Service
Provider (VASP) WolfStrata in North America, and Bechtle, Cancom,
and Gruppo 3C in EMEA. The company also deepened its bench of
distributors in EMEA in Q2, including Ingram Micro in Germany,
V-Valley in Italy, Asbis in Slovakia, and TD Synnex in France and
the Czech Republic.
These partners and distributors sell to a vast market of
end-users. In Q2 2024 the number of transacting end-users went up
480% year-over-year.
