Object First, the company offering the “best storage for Veeam,” announced Ootbi Mini, a new compact immutable storage appliance designed for remote and branch offices, edge environments, and small businesses to ransomware-proof local Veeam backup data.
Ootbi Mini is available in 8, 16, and 24 terabyte (TB) capacities and delivers Object First’s enterprise-grade security, simplicity, and power in a desktop tower that doesn’t require a traditional data center, according to the company.
Built on Zero Trust principles, Ootbi (Out-of-the-Box Immutability) Mini delivers Absolute Immutability, which means no one, not even an admin, can alter the firmware, operating system, storage layer, or backup data.
Ootbi Mini has the same ransomware-proof data protection, intuitive user interface and simple Veeam integration as the existing Ootbi fleet—no security expertise required, the company said.
Ootbi Mini is available as either a CapEx purchase or a Consumption-based subscription. It can be ordered now, with deliveries beginning in January 2026.
Object First also announced:
- Honeypot: Early Warning of cyberthreats targeting Veeam Backup and replication (VBR), Object First has introduced Ootbi Honeypot in version 1.7. With just two clicks, Honeypot deploys a decoy VBR environment on a securely segmented part of Ootbi, acting as a tripwire. If any suspicious activity is detected, Honeypot immediately sends alerts through the customer’s preferred channel. Honeypot is available at no cost to current Ootbi customers using version 1.7.
- Fleet Manager Beta Program: Object First announced a beta program for Ootbi Fleet Manager, a cloud-based application that allows customers to monitor their entire Ootbi fleet from a single dashboard. Fleet Manager provides customized organization of clusters, with granular monitoring and reporting for Ootbi devices. Users can view a complete breakdown of their footprint, including hardware health and utilization. Current customers interested in participating in the beta program can sign up here.
“Our mission is to make ransomware-proof backups simple, powerful, and accessible for every Veeam user,” said David Bennett, CEO, Object First, “With the launch of Ootbi Mini, any organization in any location can have enterprise-grade immutability within a small footprint. Our new Honeypot feature takes cyber resilience a step further by giving IT teams early warning of cyberthreats, while Fleet Manager will simplify how customers can monitor and manage their Ootbi deployments. Together, these innovations reinforce our commitment to delivering a secure, simple, resilient backup solution for Veeam customers.”
