The company was founded by Ramie Timashev and Andrei Baronov, who started Veeam as a backup company for VMware virtual machines in 2006 and then expanded quickly, building it first into a multi-faced backup solution and then into a data management empire. One component of this is the 3-2-1-1-0 rule: this means, storing three copies of your data, in addition to the original, across two media types, one of which must be off-site. Ootbi satisfies both of these by storing one in the cloud and the other on the customer's premises on its own appliance's NVME flash storage.

Unsurprisingly given its name, Object First also opted for native object storage out of the box with its appliance. Whereas file and block-based storage models tend to store data in hierarchical structures, object storage stores data as uniquely-identifiable units with their own metadata in a single bucket.

Object storage also scales quickly and simply thanks to the GUID object labelling. This makes it good at scaling to handle large amounts of static, unstructured data. The S3 API enabled Object First to take advantage of object lock. This introduces write-once-ready-many immutability to stop an attacker doing anything even if they did somehow compromise the box. Explicitly built for object storage, it has two modes: governance, and compliance.
