The Power of Three – Object Storage, Veeam, and the HybrIT Cloud Platform

It's 2025 and data is the lifeblood of every business. Whether you are a growing SME or a large enterprise, protecting your data has never been more critical or more complex. That is where the Power of Three comes in: Object Storage, Veeam, and the HybrIT Cloud Platform.

Together, these three pillars form a robust, flexible, and secure solution for backup, recovery, and long term data protection.

What Is Object Storage?

At the heart of modern backup infrastructure lies object storage, a method of data storage that moves away from traditional folder structures. Instead, data is stored as individual objects, each with its own metadata and a unique identifier.

This approach offers great benefits:

• Scalability – Easily handles large volumes of backup data

• Cost efficiency – Writes only the data that changes, saving time and space

• Manageability – Metadata rich objects are easy to search and retrieve.

Object storage’s flat architecture makes it an ideal choice for long term archiving, cloud native applications, and most importantly, modern backup solutions.

Why Object Storage Pairs Perfectly with Veeam

Enter Veeam, a market leader in backup and recovery. When combined with object storage, particularly Object First’s Ootbi (Out of the Box Immutability) solution, it becomes a powerhouse:

• Out of the box security: Backups are immutable by default which means even administrators cannot delete or modify them. This is a game changer in the fight against ransomware

• Simplicity at speed: Ootbi can be deployed in just fifteen minutes, with no specialist knowledge required

• Performance that delivers: Up to four gigabytes per second backup speed and instant recovery capabilities means minimal downtime.

HybrIT can implement Ootbi solutions both on premises and within our Cloud Platform. This gives organisations the flexibility to deploy immutable backup protection exactly where it is needed, whether that is at your site, within our secure cloud environment, or as part of a hybrid approach.

HybrIT Cloud Platform: Designed for Resilience

At HybrIT, we have built our Cloud Platform with resilience, flexibility, and security at its core. We have integrated object storage as a key component, and as a Veeam Gold Partner, we know how to design full stack solutions that work from day one.

Our cloud backup and recovery services provide:

• Immutable storage with fast restore capabilities

• Infrastructure as a Service with embedded data protection

• Scalable architecture to grow with your business

Whether you need to protect a single site, multiple offices, or a combination of on premises and cloud workloads, our solutions provide the coverage and confidence you need.

Twenty Four Seven Monitoring and Support – Managed by Experts

Technology by itself is not enough. That is why HybrIT provides comprehensive support for all of its platforms through fully managed services, delivering proactive monitoring, incident response, regular maintenance, performance optimisation and strategic guidance, ensuring continuous operation and oversight at all times.

We ensure your systems are always:

• Monitored for performance and security threats

• Maintained with updates, patches, and compliance checks

• Supported by real people who understand your environment

Our proactive monitoring and management reduce the pressure on your internal teams, so you can focus on your core business while we keep everything running efficiently behind the scenes.

The Power of Three in Action

When you combine immutable object storage, intelligent Veeam backup, and the HybrIT Cloud Platform, supported by twenty four seven managed services, you get a modern, resilient approach to data protection.

At HybrIT, we can deploy Object First’s Ootbi solution directly within your organisation’s own infrastructure, at your offices or preferred location. This is ideal for businesses that need to retain control of their data onsite or meet specific compliance requirements. For those looking to offload infrastructure management or embrace the flexibility of cloud, we also offer fully integrated Ootbi deployment within the HybrIT Cloud Platform.

Whether you choose on premises, cloud, or a mix of both, we will tailor the deployment to suit your needs and ensure your backup data is secure, immutable, and always accessible when you need it.
