Quantum has announced that the Scalar® i7 RAPTOR, the industry’s highest storage density tape library, is now officially Veeam Ready. This qualification extends Quantum’s Veeam Ready portfolio across its entire Scalar family, giving customers even more options for secure, scalable, and cost-efficient data protection and archiving.

What Veeam Ready Means

“Veeam Ready” is more than just a label. It signifies that Veeam has tested and validated the Scalar i7 RAPTOR to work seamlessly within its ecosystem for backup, recovery, and long-term retention. For customers, this provides peace of mind: knowing that their backup workflows will integrate smoothly, deliver predictable performance, and meet strict compliance and retention requirements.

Why the Scalar i7 RAPTOR Stands Out

The Scalar i7 RAPTOR was engineered to solve today’s toughest data growth and cyber-resilience challenges. When paired with Veeam, it delivers:

• Unmatched Storage Density – Up to 200% more storage capacity per rack unit than other libraries, reducing space requirements in the data center.
• Sustainability and Efficiency – The only tape library in its class with 80 PLUS Platinum Titanium-rated power supplies, lowering operating costs while supporting ESG initiatives.
• Cyber-Resilient Features – Built-in immutability, air-gap protection, and tools like Active Vault and patented Logical Tape Blocking to safeguard against ransomware.
• Serviceability and Uptime – All components are hardened for protection against mishandling and customer-replaceable in under five minutes, minimizing disruption and simplifying maintenance.
• Ideal for Long-Term Retention – Designed for compliance and “forever archive” use cases, at a fraction of the cost of disk or cloud storage.

Why This Matters for Customers

For organizations already using Veeam, the Scalar i7 RAPTOR provides a tested and trusted option to scale backup and archiving infrastructure with confidence. Customers benefit from:

• Assurance that Veeam and Quantum solutions integrate seamlessly.
• Lower total cost of ownership for large-scale, long-term data retention.
• Enhanced ransomware protection and cyber-resilient recovery strategies.
• A sustainable solution that reduces both footprint and power consumption.

The Bottom Line

As data volumes continue to explode and cyber threats become more sophisticated, customers need solutions that combine scale, security, and efficiency. With Veeam Ready validation, the Scalar i7 RAPTOR delivers all three — making it the ultimate platform for organizations that require secure, cost-effective, long-term protection of their most valuable data.
