The specialist in data protection, data archiving, and metadata-driven data search is now making its Blocky for Veeam® solution available to Ingram Micro’s reseller customers in Germany.

Ransomware is one of the greatest potential threats in the digital space and can cause significant damage to companies by encrypting their data and backups. The last and most secure line of defense is a protected backup that ransomware cannot access. This is precisely the focus of the partnership between Ingram Micro and GRAU DATA.

The Blocky for Veeam® ransomware protection solution is based on GRAU DATA’s WORM technology - proven over many years - combined with a secure fingerprinting process that reliably protects backups from deletion and write access, and thus from malware. GRAU DATA draws on its extensive experience in software development and the marketing of forward-looking innovations.

“GRAU DATA has set itself the goal of supporting companies, research institutions, and government agencies in effectively managing their data,” says Harry Weik, Senior Sales & Project Manager at GRAU DATA. “Our software products focus on the protection, efficient management, and targeted use of data to lay the foundation for well-informed business decisions.”

Britta Appel, Senior Manager at Ingram Micro, adds: “The addition of GRAU DATA to our portfolio underscores our commitment to consistently offering our customers the most innovative solutions to meet their business needs. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with GRAU DATA and delivering added value to our customers through this partnership.”
