Object First Demo Labs

Business Solutions Centre (BSC)

at TD SYNNEX Bracknell

Offer partners a dedicated space to run hands-on, real-world demos – at zero cost to you or your customers. This makes the BSC an attractive proposition for partners looking to add impact to their sales engagements without incurring extra costs.

Why should Partners visit?

Partners can bring end-customers for on-site or remote sessions, turning a product discussion into an immersive experience, demonstrating Object First’s immutable backup storage and ransomware resilience in action, guided by TD SYNNEX experts.

By witnessing Object First’s immutable, ransomware-proof backup storage, customers can “see it to believe it.” This builds trust, shortens sales cycles, and can increase deal size by showcasing ransomware resilience and Veeam-optimized outcomes in a controlled environment.

Veeam-Centric Demo Scenarios

The Hands-on Demo Lab is purpose-built for Veeam environments so that Partners can run Veeam-integrated demo scenarios. This approach helps illustrate how Object First seamlessly fits into your customer’s backup workflows and this environment. Often including an Object First Ootbi appliance integrated with Veeam backup & replication lets you simulate real backup and recovery tasks with minimal setup.

By test driving solutions and directly interacting with Object First’s appliance, this gives customers confidence in the technology, in turn accelerating sales cycles.

Technical Expertise On-Hand

TD SYNNEX’s specialists are on-site (or online, for remote demos) to assist with setup, answer in-depth technical questions, and ensure the demonstration runs smoothly.

This allows you to deliver a high-quality demo even if you don’t have all the technical resources in-house.

Flexible Access

The Bracknell Hands-On Demo Lab is not limited to physical visits. It can be accessed remotely from any location via secure connectivity, and even extended to customer sites if appropriate.

This flexibility means you can involve customers who cannot travel in person, or you can run blended on-site/remote sessions as needed, without losing the impact of a live demo.

Specific Use Cases & Demo Scenarios

TD SYNNEX can tailor scenarios to your customer’s needs; however, common realistic demo scenarios in the lab include:

Demo Scenario

Immutable Ransomware-Proof Backup

Ransomware resilience: The partner runs a Veeam backup job writing directly to an Object First repository in the lab. The demo then simulates a ransomware attack by attempting to alter or delete the backup data – the attempt fails, thanks to Object First’s immutable storage design. With TD SYNNEX’s guidance, you can show that backups remain tamper-proof and readily recoverable even under attack (proving to customers that their data will be safe).

Demo Scenario

Veeam Integration & Fast Recovery

Veeam-focused outcomes: The partner and TD SYNNEX engineer walk the customer through adding the Object First appliance as a backup repository in Veeam Backup & Replication. In minutes, the customer sees backups executing successfully and quickly on Object First. The demo can then illustrate a sample instant recovery – recovering data from the Object First repository back into the live environment, highlighting fast restore speeds and integration simplicity.

Demo Scenario

Backup Efficiency & Scale (Optional)

Simplicity and performance: To emphasize Object First’s ease-of-use and cost-effectiveness, the lab can showcase how straightforward tasks are – e.g. creating storage buckets & backup policies in minutes, or monitoring backup job statistics (throughput, deduplication/compression) right within Veeam. Customers gain confidence that adding Object First won’t complicate their environment, and will enhance backup performance and data efficiency.

If a configuration or scenario is not explicitly documented in our standard guides, the Bracknell lab team will take a flexible, “can-do” approach to craft a demonstration that meets your customer’s needs based on typical best practices.

How to Book

To arrange a demo, simply contact our Bracknell BSC below.

A member of our team will be in touch to discuss available dates and requirements. The BSC team will work with you to understand your objectives and design a session tailored to your customer’s needs. No strict lead time is explicitly documented, but we recommend booking a couple of weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and allow for any special preparation. (If specific details like complex custom configurations are required, the BSC team will treat these flexibly – they’ll coordinate with you to get the setup right, even if it’s something new.)
