MSP cuts costs with Scality pay-as-you-go anti-ransomware storage | Computer Weekly
Summary
Benefits of the SCSP licensing model include being able to offer customers highly scalable backup with short recovery time objectives (RTOs) and at the same cost per terabyte (TB) whether it’s for 25TB or 2.5PB (petabytes). Scality launched version 2.0 of its Artesca platform in 2023, and built in a big emphasis on the ransomware protection inherent to object storage. Artesca is Scality’s object storage product aimed at single application use cases and is heavily targeted at data protection. According to head of datacentre and cloud services Ant Bucknor, Autodata recommends customers keep a workable amount of critical data on-site so they can restore very quickly should a ransomware attack or other outage occur. But it isn’t necessarily going to be quick enough.” Key to the benefits for Autodata are that it can supply ransomware recovery solutions that would have been out of reach of SME and mid-market customers previously, and that as it buys more product from Scality prices should decrease.
