Scality launches Cloud & Service Provider Programme

Scality has launched its Pay-as-you-Go licensing model for Scality Cloud & Service Providers (SCSP). Specifically optimised for Veeam cloud service providers, this program features Scality ARTESCA as a 100% software storage backup target for Veeam® Backup-as-a-Service offerings. This groundbreaking initiative delivers scalable, future-proof cloud backup solutions that boost revenue and customer satisfaction.

ARTESCA for Veeam Cloud & Service Providers provides unmatched scale and cyber resiliency

Scality ARTESCA’s pricing model is aligned with Veeam's pay-as-you-go licensing framework and takes customers beyond immutability to deliver a CORE5 cyber-resilient backup with unlimited scale and no performance degradation. The new licensing model minimises sales friction, streamlines order processing, and enhances backup functionality with reduced complexity, making ARTESCA the premier storage solution for service providers who offer Veeam Backup-as-a-Service.

“Our joint customers appreciate a bundled Veeam + Scality solution offering, which provides solid data resilience capabilities. It’s exciting to now see Scality launch its own global Cloud Service Provider Programme, as it’s a go-to-market model that has seen continuous growth over the years. At Veeam, we are particularly proud of our network of Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partners and the quality of service they offer to hundreds of thousands of customers,” said Amaury Dutilleul-Francoeur, vice president of EMEA channels and alliances at Veeam.

Empowering Service Providers with Scality’s flexible pay-as-you-go licensing model

Scality offers a flexible pay-as-you-go software licensing model, designed to help SCSPs keep operations streamlined while boosting Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). Key features include:

Flexible term commitment options: Choose a 1-, 2-, or 3-year ARR commitment.

Dynamic monthly billing: Only pay based on utilised storage capacity, allowing costs to align directly with monthly revenue.

The new Scality ARTESCA pay-as-you-go licensing model is designed specifically for Cloud & Service Providers who integrate Veeam into their offerings. By positioning ARTESCA as the go-to backup target solution, service providers can provide reliable and scalable storage that adapts quickly to their customers’ evolving needs.

"ARTESCA’s unprecedented growth in 2024 underscored its flexibility, simplicity, and impact. With this launch, we’re enabling Veeam Cloud & Service Providers and partners worldwide to deliver comprehensive security, performance, scalability, and cost efficiency to their customers. This programme represents a bold step in redefining Backup-as-a-Service, empowering businesses to protect their data with confidence and thrive in an era of constant change," said Eric LeBlanc, GM of ARTESCA and Channel Chief.

Autodata, a certified Platinum Veeam Cloud & Service Provider partner, highlighted the benefits they've experienced as one of the first Veeam partners to join Scality's Cloud & Service Provider programme.

“Scality beat out strong competition to become our preferred object-storage solution for truly immutable on-premise backup," said Ant Bucknor, Head of Data Centre and Cloud Services at Autodata. "ARTESCA offers unlimited scale, unmatched performance, and unbreakable cyber resilience. The flexible pricing model sealed the deal - we only pay for the capacity our customers need. Scality's software-only solution also helped us maintain strong discounts with our preferred hardware vendor, and its easy deployment with Supermicro servers made implementation seamless. We immediately saw a 50% saving compared to other solutions. We're also excited to be the first certified Veeam Cloud and Service Provider to join Scality's Service Provider Program - one of the best revenue-generating programmes we've seen in a long time!”
