ARTESCA+ Veeam Gets Easier, Smarter, and Highly Available

Why It Matters

The enhanced Artresca+ Veeam appliance delivers enterprise‑scale, highly available backup in a single, easy‑to‑manage package, cutting admin effort and protecting growing, hybrid workloads.

Key Takeaways

• Artresca+ Veeam 4.3 adds three‑node high‑availability cluster for enterprise.
• Unified dashboard now shows backup jobs, capacity, and alerts.
• Supports Veeam 13 Linux appliance for automated, HA deployments.
• One‑click repository creation automates S3 bucket setup and immutability.
• Scales from 400 TB single node to up to 10 PB multi‑node.

Summary

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.

Original Description

Scality has continued to evolve ARTESCA+ Veeam, the unified software appliance that brings Veeam Backup & Replication and ARTESCA object storage together in one integrated platform. In this video, Brian and Kevin walk through the latest updates with Scality, including the new dashboard, deeper Veeam integration, automated repository creation, improved security, multi-node scaling, and high availability with Veeam v13.

This is a big step forward for organizations that want enterprise-grade backup and recovery without managing a pile of disconnected infrastructure. ARTESCA+ Veeam is becoming easier to deploy, easier to operate, and better suited for customers that need resilient backup storage with less administrative overhead.
