CASA Software has launched the newly released Nexsan VHR-Series – a fully integrated, enterprise-class Hardened Repository appliance purpose-built for Veeam software environments.

Veeam is the world leader (by market share) in data resilience, while Nexsan is the global pioneer of highly reliable, cost-effective enterprise-class storage solutions.

“The Nexsan VHR-Series has been designed to meet the most stringent requirements for immutability, security and performance in ransomware-resilient backup,” says Byron Horn-Botha, CASA software senior sales specialist.

The Nexsan VHR-Series delivers end-to-end data immutability with a streamlined, turnkey solution that offers robust performance, rigorous QA validation, and seamless scalability. Preloaded with Veeam Hardened Repository ISO and designed to resist ransomware, insider threats, and data loss, Nexsan VHR-Series provides the reliability and efficiency required by today’s backup infrastructures.

Additional hardened features of the Nexsan VHR-Series includes:

• Rapid recovery – Engineered with industry-leading RTO to ensure systems are back online faster.

• DISA STIG Compliant – Ensures the backup platform is configured and hardened according to the Defence Information Systems Agency.

• Risk-free deployments – Nexsan QA-tested, certified, supported configurations.

• Battery cache data protection – Ensures data is not lost during power failures.

• Global 5-year support – Standard hardware warranty across all models.

Horn-Botha says that to coincide with the launch, the Nexsan VHR-Series appliance has achieved the Veeam Ready Appliance status. “The Veeam Ready Program provides a solution qualification process to help Veeam Alliance Program partners meet Veeam functional and performance standards. By attaining Veeam Ready status, customers are assured that Nexsan VHR appliances are compatible with Veeam Data Platform features.

Veeam senior manager, technical sales, Africa, Ian Engelbrecht, says, “We are proud to strengthen our partnership with Nexsan across Africa, meeting the growing need for cost-effective, immutable storage that underpins modern data resilience. The new VHR Series is a significant step forward. Preloaded with the Veeam Hardened Repository OS, it removes complexity – no need to build or configure your own repository server or manually deploy an ISO. The result is true simplicity, combined with affordability, performance, and compliance with the highest security standards.”

Nexsan CEO Vincent Phillips adds that the VHR-Series provides the backbone for secure, compliant, and resilient Veeam infrastructure at a cost-effective price. “With a usable capacity range from 64 TB to 3,3 PB and seamless scalability through integration with Nexsan’s E-Series expansion shelves, the VHR-Series offers a flexible solution for organisations of all sizes.”
