Backblaze Teams with Veritas

Cloud storage provider Backblaze has partnered with Veritas, which offers multicloud data management.

Both companies sell through the channel.

Together, the companies will offer B2 Cloud Storage within Veritas’’Backup Exec service, which delivers data protection, including in the cloud. The joint platform offers S3-compatible object storage to customers using Backup Exec.

“The Backup Exec service empowers small and medium-size businesses to do more with less, and to minimize their daily lift around data management and protection,” said Nilay Patel, vice president of sales and partnerships at Backblaze.

Jason Von Eberstein, senior principal product manager at Veritas, agreed.

“Our goal with Backup Exec is to provide a simple, powerful solution that frees business owners from concerns about data loss,” he said. “Backblaze is a natural partner in this effort.”
