Ransomware attacks are hitting harder and faster — with one predicted every 11 seconds this year. We’ve teamed up with our partner Object First to bring you Ootbi (“Out-of-the-Box Immutability”) – a way to make your backups ransomware-proof in just minutes with On-Premises Immutability.
Now you can choose how you get Ootbi: go the traditional route with upfront ownership, or keep things lean with a flexible consumption model, meaning you can pay-as-you-grow.
Two Ways to Stay Protected
1. CapEx (Capital Expenditure)
The traditional option: purchase the appliance upfront for a set term (typically 3–5 years).
- Full ownership of the hardware
- Predictable cost over the lifecycle
- All updates, firmware, and support included
This route works well if you prefer to plan long-term, have clear storage requirements, and want to leverage existing CapEx budgets.
2. New Consumption Model
A newer, more flexible approach: a pay-as-you-go subscription based on actual usage.
- No upfront costs
- Monthly billing tied to storage consumption
- Built-in scalability (from 17 TB up to 7 PB)
- Hardware refreshes and lifecycle management handled for you
It’s ideal if you want to avoid large upfront investment, keep costs aligned with growth, and scale without the headache of hardware refresh cycles.
