icon-double-hexTHE BACKUP RECKONING

The recovery path is what attackers go after first
icon-scality-artesca-backup
Backups are the first target.

Modern attackers dwell inside the network specifically to find backup infrastructure before they encrypt anything else.

icon-scality-artesca-immutability
Auditors want immutability they can verify.

Regulators ask for WORM, retention locks, and demonstrable isolation. Backups in the rack don't qualify as evidence.
scality-artesca-pulse-graphic
icon-scality-artesca-recovery
Recovery time decides whether you survive.

Downtime turns into revenue loss, customer trust loss, and regulatory exposure within hours. Recovery is a business operation, not a file operation.

icon-scality-artesca-distributed
Distributed sites multiply the attack surface.

Every branch, factory, and edge cluster is a fresh entry point. Storage protecting them has to be resilient and lightweight at once.

icon-double-hexSCALITY ARTESCA

Backup-first object storage, built to survive the attack.

ARTESCA combines CORE5 cyber resilience with software-defined simplicity and full-fidelity S3. The storage layer itself enforces immutability, so a compromised admin credential or a hostile backup process cannot break the recovery path. The platform runs anywhere your data lives — from a 20TB starting footprint at the edge to multi-petabyte clusters at the core.

icon-double-hex-lightRESILIENCE IN TIME

The lifecycle of a ransomware attempt

Resilience in ARTESCA is a sequence of events the storage layer enforces while the attack is happening. Here's what runs in parallel inside the cluster, from the moment a ransomware attempt begins to the moment the business is back online, with no ransom paid.

LAUNCHED AND IN PRODUCTION SINCE

"There is a strong, emotive desire to retain data in-country. Scality ARTESCA cyber-resilient object storage gives us much more flexibility to support business growth while still keeping data close to home."

Bryce Farmilo
CTO, vGRID

"ARTESCA stood out for its cyber-resilient architecture, ease of deployment, and strong compatibility with Veeam."

Stephan Peinkofer
Head of Data Science and Storage, Leibniz Supercomputing Centre

"One of the bank's security requirements is on-prem backups. By backing up Microsoft 365 on premises with ARTESCA, we reclaimed access and control of data supporting the banking experience for our customers."

Lazaros Kalafatas
Engineering Manager, Piraeus Bank

"Scality support has provided white-glove level service. They go the extra mile at every interaction."

Robert Azzopardi
CTO, Smart Technologies

"Before, we spent so much time checking backups, troubleshooting, and testing recovery. Now, there are no problems. We finally have time for other priorities that actually improve the business."

Jim Pacanowski II
Network Administrator, Ventnor City

"We needed a modern, immutable solution that was perfectly integrated with Veeam. With ARTESCA, we found much more than that. We found peace of mind."

Cédric Bathelet
CEO, SI Cloud

"Before Scality ARTESCA, a full backup took 36 hours, and if something failed, we had to start over — another 36 hours, again and again. With ARTESCA, a full backup takes just four hours. Now if my boss asks if our data is secure, I can say yes with complete confidence."

Andreas Preissinger
IT Security Architect, ALPMA
