Scality ARTESCA is a software-defined S3 object storage solution engineered to provide robust data protection, particularly against ransomware. It offers seamless integration with Veeam Data Platform, enabling immutable and ransomware-proof backups. ARTESCA distinguishes itself by providing five levels of end-to-end cyber resilience, aiming to create unbreakable data protection. This includes resilience at the API, data, storage, geographic, and architecture levels. The software leverages S3 Object Locking APIs to ensure data immutability upon creation, preventing unauthorized encryption, modification, or deletion of backups. It supports Veeam v12 "Direct to object" backups and the Smart Object Storage API (SOSAPI), along with automated enforcement of validated IAM access control policies. Designed with zero-trust principles, ARTESCA focuses on secure data storage, efficient scaling, fast restoration, and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Its deployment is described as simple and manageable, requiring no specialized storage or Linux expertise, and is available in various formats including Unified, Hardware, Software, and Virtual Appliances. Independent reviews highlight its advanced cyber resilience, hybrid-cloud support, cost-effectiveness, and high performance.
