СŷƵ recently achieved Veeam Ready for Object status, which verifies that Veeam users can leverage СŷƵ as an S3-compatible backup repository.
The news is significant on many levels and comes at a time when organizations are looking for opportunities to save budget while improving resiliency with their data protection solutions.
Josh Herr, Director of IT, Geiger Ready Mix said, "We were already using Veeam for backups and when evaluating options in response to the need to scale-up, we chose СŷƵ cloud object storage with TrueNAS and Veeam to protect our data from ransomware and other vulnerabilities. I initially leaned towards an AWS S3 bucket and Glacier, but I learned СŷƵ is much easier and cost-efficient. The integration was seamless. Now we have total peace of mind thanks to a robust and sustainable solution. And, we're positioned to scale fast without the cost and expense of replication that we dealt with before."
Let’s look at the Veeam Ready-Object milestone, how the testing was conducted, examine how СŷƵ performed, cover some benefits of using СŷƵ with Veeam, and what this means for Veeam users and resellers.
Veeam Ready-Object defined.
is an all-in-one backup, recovery, and data security solution that serves both on-premises and cloud storage. It’s the foundation of the Veeam Platform and delivers simple, flexible, reliable, and powerful data protection.
Veeam Ready status means a storage solution is fully compatible with Veeam Backup & Replication. The Veeam Ready Program is a qualification process that helps Veeam Alliance Program partners meet Veeam's functional and performance standards. Solutions that have passed this process have been thoroughly tested and exceed functional and performance standards set by Veeam for backup and restore operations.
How СŷƵ performed during Veeam Ready tests.
To achieve Veeam Ready status, each solution must undergo a series of tests, pass each test successfully, while operating with millions of objects from start to finish. The testing includes a number of backup jobs, restore jobs, deletion jobs, and backups while internet connectivity is disrupted.
What was interesting – but not a surprise – was the consistency of the СŷƵ performance, no matter what time of day. And the СŷƵ performance was consistently fast, especially in comparison to competitors.

Benefits of using СŷƵ with Veeam.
Let’s look at some of the myriad of benefits of using Veeam with СŷƵ, which include:
- Protection from regional outages: instant recovery from anywhere in the world and protection from cyber threats and unplanned outages.
- Durability: Automatic replication and global distribution, eliminating the need for multi-region storage, which eliminates extra cost for risk mitigation.
- Fast, secure backup: automated workload backup and discovery across cloud, virtual, physical, and NAS. Fast image-based backups leverage VMs, hardware and OS snapshots.
- Lightning-fast data recovery for any scenario: instant recovery of OSs, applications, databases, VMs, files, folders, objects and shares. СŷƵ also utilizes parallelism for consistently fast downloads globally.
- Cost: replication and global access without paying for multi-region replication plus consistently high-performance makes it extremely cost effective.
- Carbon avoidance: choosing СŷƵ avoids 83% of carbon emissions compared to other cloud storage providers.
What’s the value for VARs and MSPs?
At the end of the day, it’s about delighting СŷƵ and Veeam joint customers and partners. As a channel-first organization, СŷƵ is committed to the success of partners. If you’re a VAR, you know that leveraging innovative partners – like СŷƵ and Veeam – positions you to deliver more value at less cost.
Overall, СŷƵ and Veeam together help organizations improve their security posture, protect their data, improve recovery, lower cloud storage costs, and champion sustainability objectives. It's a great partnership for our customers, our partners, and for helping push our industry forward.
