As organizations struggle with managing the vast amounts of data they produce, cloud backups are becoming one of the fastest growing technologies adopted. SoftNAS has long provided flexible, cloud-native, 100% software-defined cloud data platform for enterprise control of any data, any cloud, anywhere. With Veeam's acknowledged expertise, SoftNAS is now able to offer a clear solution to our customer's considerable cloud backup needs. 

For this guide, we will be concentrating on our low-cost, high performance object storage solution, SoftNAS Cloud® Essentials. Any of SoftNAS Cloud®'s editions can be used for archive and backup purposes, but with SoftNAS Cloud® Essential's focus on low-cost secondary tier storage, and improved object-storage performance, it presents an ideal balance for most customer backup and archive needs.

Features of SoftNAS Cloud® Essentials

  • Low Cost 
    SoftNAS Cloud® Essentials reduces the cost for “lazy” secondary storage, making it ideal for large scale archival, backup target and disaster recovery workloads.

  • High Performance 
    Accelerated back-end object storage writes, deletes, edits and reads – approaching native block storage performance levels. 

  • Snapshots and Rollbacks
    Protecting and recovering your data is easy by creating scheduled or manual snapshots that can rollback your data to a point-in-time—perfect for combating malware and ransomware.

  • Multi-Protocol Support
    File access to back-end object storage via NFS, CIFS/SMB with Active Directory, AFP (Apple File Protocol) and iSCSI block services.

  • Encryption
    Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and only the customer possesses the encryption keys.

  • Access Control
    Integration with Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP, which provides secure access to customer data.

  • Storage Elasticity
    Grow and shrink your storage requirements on an as needed basis, including thin-provisioning and storage pooling.

    SoftNAS Cloud® Essentials provides files services for object storage only.
