Scality Delivers 62% YoY Revenue Growth and Strengthens Partnerships With New Veeam 10 Qualification + Expansion With HPE

Scality announced record earnings for the first half of 2020 with 62% year-over-year growth in revenue. Scality’s extensive blue-chip customer base now includes six of the top banks and seven of the top telecom operators in the world. To continue growth into the second half of 2020, Scality is ramping up partnerships with Veeam, the leader in backup solutions that deliver Cloud Data Management, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to support the largest storage deployments globally.

“Scality’s 62% revenue growth in the first half of 2020 demonstrates the transformation customers are making to deploy object storage as their modern data management solution,” said Jerome Lecat, CEO of Scality. “To provide customers with the most advanced offerings we continue to strengthen our strategic partnerships.

Veeam Ready Object with Immutability

Backup data has become a prime target of ransomware malware, so ultra-resilient backup storage is imperative. Scality RING8 now offers enhanced ransomware protection with support for S3 Object Lock API, which was designed to render data immutable by preventing it from being deleted or overwritten for a period of time (or indefinitely). Qualified as Veeam Ready Object with Immutability, Scality RING8 provides for air-gapped, tamper-proof backup data that stays immune to ransomware, thereby offering a swift recovery path in case of an attack.

Scality’s qualification with Veeam Backup & Replication v10 means more protection for joint customers across all mission-critical industries, including fintech, healthcare and key government agencies. Scality and Veeam joint customers include Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Opus Interactive and Skillsoft.

“Scality’s reach with some of the largest companies around the globe made this qualification a great investment for our team,” said David Harvey, Vice President of Alliances at Veeam. “We’re excited to share the news that one of the leading scale-out object storage providers in the world is now Veeam Ready Object with Immutability.”
