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.
IAM/STS functionality is not supported by the solution.
Strong Consistency must be explicitly enabled in the configuration settings to meet the compatibility requirements for Veeam Backup and Replication v12. Please follow the vendor's guidelines on steps to be taken for the proper configuration.

Important note:

StorageGRID 11.7 verification was performed using three (3) nodes of the SGF6112 StorageGRID appliance with SG1000 load balancer.

StorageGRID 11.8 verification was performed using four (4) nodes of the SGF6112 StorageGRID appliance with SG1000 load balancer.

The storage solution must be appropriately sized, considering both capacity and performance, to ensure proper operation. Additionally, both the storage solution and the Veeam deployment must be configured in accordance with the StorageGRID best practices for deployment with Veeam Backup and Replication.
