The verdict in one line

Pick Scality when object storage is the primary need, especially for immutable backup with Veeam or a multi-petabyte data lake, and your team owns Linux. Pick Infinidat when you want a single guaranteed-uptime appliance for consolidated block, file and hybrid workloads and prefer white-glove support over hands-on operations.

Which one for what

The clean decision guide for common Indian B2B scenarios. Pick the row that fits.

Veeam backup landing zone

Scality ARTESCA is the shorter path. Immutable S3, object lock, Veeam Ready, priced for the channel.

Consolidated block and file for a single site

Infinidat InfiniBox G4 fits. One appliance, one uptime SLA, one number to call for support.

Petabyte data lake or AI dataset landing

Scality RING or ADI. Software-defined scale-out means capacity per rupee stays predictable as you grow.

Multi-petabyte enterprise consolidation with white-glove support

Infinidat wins on the 100% availability guarantee, Neural Cache latency, and Lenovo ISG service backing.

Small team, appliance-first culture

Infinidat. Fewer moving parts, InfiniBox handles more of the operations. Scality expects Linux muscle.

Sirius Star sized both, split the PO cleanly by function, and gave the CIO one number for warranty escalation across both platforms.
