ARTESCA+ Veeam Gets Easier, Smarter, and Highly Available
The video showcases the Artresca+ Veeam unified software appliance, highlighting the upcoming 4.3 release that expands the solution from a single‑node box to a three‑node, highly available cluster. The presenter and Scality engineer Thomas walk through the new features, emphasizing how the appliance bundles Veeam backup software directly alongside storage for a single‑pane‑of‑glass experience. Key updates include a reshaped dashboard that surfaces backup job status, capacity trends, and alerts; native support for Veeam 13, both Windows and Linux flavors, with the Linux version enabling true high‑availability. Scalability jumps dramatically—from 400 TB on a single node to an initial 2.5 PB and a roadmap toward 10 PB across the multi‑node cluster. Automation is deepened with one‑click repository creation, automatic immutability settings, and hidden credential handling, reducing manual steps and error risk. Thomas notes, “We’re adding a lot of improvements around our Artis scale plus Veeam unified software appliance,” and demonstrates how the UI now links directly to the Veeam web console. He also points out that the appliance can host backups for Veeam’s broader portfolio—Office 365, Kasten containers—allowing heterogeneous environments to converge on a single platform. For IT leaders, the upgrade means faster deployments, lower operational overhead, and a path to enterprise‑grade backup without juggling separate storage and software stacks. The high‑availability cluster and expanded capacity also future‑proof organizations as data volumes surge and workloads migrate to containers.
