Storage Veteran to Drive Innovation and Growth
for Ootbi, the Best Storage for Veeam
Object First, the creator of Ootbi
(Out-of-the-Box-Immutability), ransomware-proof backup storage
appliance purpose-built for Veeam®, today announced the appointment
of Eric R. Schott as its Chief Product Officer (CPO). With deep
expertise in storage technology and decades of product management
experience, Schott will drive Object First's continued product
innovation and growth. As 93% of ransomware attacks explicitly
target backups, businesses seek secure, simple, and powerful backup
storage to mitigate loss, downtime, and financial impact from
attacks.
“We are thrilled to welcome Eric to the Object First leadership
team. He has the deep technical knowledge and product management
leadership skills we need to evolve our successful Ootbi product
line,” said David Bennett, CEO of Object First. “Eric’s impact is
already evident with our recent product update, increasing storage
capacity to 192TB on a single node and up to 768TB in a cluster—or
3 petabytes and beyond as part of a Veeam repository.”
Bringing decades of product management experience to Object
First, Schott has specialized in building easy to use, scaling, and
innovating storage products as businesses increasingly invest in
protecting data from rising cyber threats. This expertise has
ranged from helping the world’s largest technology companies to
start-ups. Schott began his career with Hewlett Packard (HPE),
where he spent the first 20 years focusing on Unix and file systems
development. Most recently, he was Senior Director of Product
Management at Veeam, where he was responsible for new integrations,
including public cloud offerings, Nutanix AHV, and RedHat
Virtualization. Schott also held product leadership positions at
Dell, OneCloud Software, and EqualLogic.
“Securing backup data has become imperative in our current
threat landscape, and this has put a spotlight on the protection
capabilities and benefits of immutable backup storage solutions,”
said Schott. “I’m excited to build on Object First’s foundation
with expanded Ootbi capabilities that ensure customers and partners
have the best backup storage solution for Veeam with guaranteed
security and resiliency from ransomware.”
