DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 4, 2025--

Object First, the best storage for Veeam®, today announced a 291% year-over-year increase in bookings for Q3 2025. The results mark the sixth straight quarter of triple-digit growth, reflecting an increasing global demand for secure, simple, and powerful immutable backup storage as the best defense against ransomware.

Global Adoption of Object First

• Strong customer adoption of Ootbi (Out-of-the-Box-Immutability), Object First’s immutable backup storage appliance purpose-built for Veeam, continued in Q3, with year-over-year bookings increasing by 248% in the U.S. and Canada, and 447% in EMEA.
• New appliances—20, 40 and 432 TB units—and a pay-per-use Consumption model introduced in the U.S. in Q2 helped fuel this momentum.
• In September, Object First expanded its Consumption model to European markets. This flexible model allows customers, resellers, and service providers to choose between a CapEx purchase or a subscription that eliminates upfront investment and hardware refresh costs.
