New Scality ARTESCA all-flash appliance accelerates recovery of business-critical data with extreme backup protection

Veeam Ready all-flash immutable storage offers robust ransomware protection for medium and large enterprises at 50% cost savings 

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Scality, a global leader in cyber-resilient storage software for the AI era, today unveiled a new line of ARTESCA all-flash hardware appliances — adding another deployment choice for its industry-leading immutable backup storage solution for Veeam Backup & Replication.

Building on Scality ARTESCA's leading ransomware protection with CORE5 end-to-end cyber-resiliency, the new all-flash appliance harnesses the power of AMD™ processors and all-flash NVMe drives to provide fast restore capabilities at a 50% lower price point than competing solutions, making it affordable for both large and medium-sized enterprises.

The new all-flash appliance is offered as a rack-mount appliance and is available in the following choices of storage capacity:

• 1U appliance: 41 TB of usable all-flash storage capacity
• 1U appliance: 82 TB of usable all-flash storage capacity
• 1U appliance: 165 TB of usable all-flash storage capacity

The ARTESCA all-flash appliance provides fast backup and restore performance at a price point that is accessible to businesses of all sizes. For the best blend of performance, reliability and data durability, the appliance is configured with NVMe TLC (triple-level Cell) drives.

Veeam Ready Repository Validation
The increased performance of all-flash as well as the optimized ARTESCA S3 API for Veeam, accelerates Veeam backup and restore workloads, including Instant VM Recovery, to achieve Veeam Ready Repository validation.

The all-flash appliance is built on ARTESCA's leading immutability and end-to-end cyber-resiliency capabilities, termed CORE5, which provide 5 levels of protection against cyber threats:

• API-level resilience through Amazon S3 object locking
• Data-level resilience through 256-bit encryption-at-rest, secure connections and MFA
• Storage-level resilience through erasure coding
• Geographic-level resilience through asynchronous replication
• Architecture-level resilience through an integrated, security-hardened operating system

The ARTESCA hardware appliance will be available in Q4 2024, starting in the U.S. through Scality's Ingram Micro reseller partners. Prices start at under $58K.

Eric Leblanc, GM of ARTESCA, Scality Inc.
"As we head into the final months of 2024, we anticipate a strong growth trajectory for ARTESCA globally. To meet rising demand, we're committed to providing customers with flexible deployment options that suit their specific requirements. Our new all-flash appliance offers a high-performance solution at a competitive price, empowering customers to accelerate their operations cost-effectively."

ARTESCA has maintained a steady trajectory of growth in the global channel. Year-to-date, VAR partner participation is on track to more than double, and ARTESCA sell-through is steadily increasing.  DCIG analysts gave ARTESCA top marks in its latest report as one of the top 5 midmarket SDS object backup targets.

Jerome Wendt, CEO and Principal Analyst, DCIG
"Like other object-based backup targets, ARTESCA offers data immutability.  However, Scality goes beyond immutability by incorporating five levels of cyber resilience functionality into ARTESCA from API-to-architecture."
