ECS is a multipurpose, software-defined, cloud-scale, object storage platform that delivers the ease of use and economics of the public cloud without the data sovereignty and security concerns. ECS features native multitenancy to deliver backup and archiving as a service that can support multiple tenants and applications on a single, easy-to-manage cloud storage platform. ECS brings the cost profile, simplicity, and scale of public cloud services to everyone with the trust, reliability, and support you expect from Dell Technologies. ECS is an ideal choice for storing, managing, and protecting unstructured data using Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), whether on-premises, in a hybrid cloud, or in a private cloud.
Dell Technologies and Veeam work together so you can do more with data at a lower total cost of ownership for critical use cases. These use cases include line-of-business applications, websites, mobile applications, IoT data stores, analytics initiatives, and long-term archives. Dell ECS is a Veeam Ready object storage with immutability solution, so you can be assured that the solution features meet Veeam’s functional and performance standards.
With the massive increase in ransomware attacks, cybersecurity has become a major concern for government and business entities of every description. To help address this problem, both Veeam Backup & Replication and ECS support Amazon S3 Object Lock for data immutability. Object Lock support means that a second immutable copy of your backup or replicated data will be protected on ECS if a ransomware attack were to occur. This copy, which can be stored at an offsite location, provides you with an untouched copy of the data that is safe and always recoverable.
The combination of ECS with the set of enterprise-grade backup and replication capabilities from Veeam help you reduce operational overhead while providing flexibility and reliability. Veeam delivers powerful backup and replication availability across all cloud, virtual, and physical workloads, so you can protect your data no matter the location or workload type.
