This Veeam Ready test was performed with storage having a configuration that includes SSD/Flash. As such, this classification only applies to similar configurations in which the same amount or more SSD drives are used. The use of non-SSD drives may negatively impact performance.
Smart Object Storage API "CapacityInfo" feature is supported by the solution.

SOSAPI is supported for Veeam Backup and Replication. Please note, VB365 currently doesn’t offer SOSAPI functionality.
IAM/STS functionality is not supported by the solution.
