Where legacy storage and hardened Linux repositories can fall short
Most Veeam admins refresh their on-prem storage with one of three legacy options: direct-attached storage, deduplication appliances, or a hardened Linux repository.
Each forces a trade-off between security, simplicity, and power.
Direct-Attached Storage
DAS does not offer immutability and is not separated from the Veeam Backup & Replication server. An attacker who gains access to the host can access all data.
Deduplication Appliances
Best used as secondary storage. Data restoration rehydration can significantly slow Veeam Instant Recovery, and immutability is often an add-on, not integrated with Veeam's workflow.
Linux Hardened Repository
It excels at being secure, so long as you have domain expertise in security and Linux, and time to keep it up-to-date. That is not practical for most mid-enterprise Veeam admins.
If your Veeam backups are exposed to ransomware attacks, too complex to manage, or too slow to recover, you need a backup storage appliance with Absolute Immutability.
Absolute Immutability: The ultimate ransomware defense
The only guaranteed path to recovery after a ransomware attack is having backup storage with Absolute Immutability. This means backup data cannot be altered or deleted by anyone, even the most privileged admin or attacker. This requires:
Absolute Immutability
Unverified Immutability
1. S3 Object Storage
Proprietary Storage
2. Zero Time to Immutability
Time-Delayed Immutability
Snapshot-Based Immutability
3. Target Storage Appliance
Integrated Appliance
Dedupe Appliance
Self-Managed System
DIY Storage System

What Partners and Customers Are Saying
Ootbi is much faster than our other backup storage. This is allowing us to backup faster and then replicate that data out faster.”
Zach Young
Director of Information Technology, Centerbase
With Object First, we can now guarantee what our old backup target couldn’t: the immutability of our backup data. We’re now fully protected from ransomware attacks.”
Matthias Altensleben
Head of IT at Bezirksamt Steglitz-Zehlendorf
With Ootbi we found a reliable multisite repository, which was in two different sites and guaranteed immutability of backups even in case of an attack.”
Pierluigi Sossi
Infrastructure Lead Europe
Ootbiʼs simplicity makes it perfect for an organization of our size. We don't have a dedicated team of storage engineers, and now, we don't need them.”
