Veeam Software delivers backup and data protection solutions
Data backup solutions company Veeam recently celebrated one-million active installations of its Backup & Replication solution at its annual user event, VeeamON 2021. The company asserts that it delivers the most advanced data protection solutions for cloud, virtual, SaaS, Kubernetes and physical workloads.
“We moved more than 100 PB of data into our top three cloud object storage providers alone in just the first quarter of 2021, compared to 242 PB in all of 2020, and we recently surpassed one-million active Veeam Backup & Replication installations. The movement of data into cloud and expanding cloud data management is accelerating. Data storage in the cloud is just one of the engines that is driving massive growth at Veeam. And the way we’ve built and evolved our single platform for Modern Data Protection – to be simple, flexible, reliable and powerful – continues our solid reputation of being the industry standard and providing the highest level of value to customers,” said Veeam CTO and senior VP product strategy Danny Allan.
Known as the best backup solution for VMware vSphere, the company has added a number of solutions for multiple hypervisors, physical systems, SaaS offerings (Microsoft Office 365), public cloud environments and is now doubling down on modern infrastructure like Kubernetes (with the recent acquisition of Kasten). Veeam defines modern data protection as providing a single platform for data resiliency to protect every workload, access all platforms with a single experience, reduce operational costs and ensure guaranteed recovery.
It has also released a number of new features and enhancements said to be ideal for Enterprise environments, including 17 new product releases in the past 12 months, that span the ecosystem of cloud, virtual, physical, SaaS and application-specific environments, including Veeam Backup & Replication v11. V1 first launched in 2008 and this year V11 of the company’s flagship product was released with an additional 200 new backup, cloud, DR, security and automation enhancements. With one-million active Replication installations, the company declares that its product is now the most widely deployed Enterprise backup software in the world.
Veeam also released its Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v5 at the end of 2020, which it asserts is the most deployed Microsoft Office 365 solution in the industry – downloaded by more than 175 000 organizations with 15-million mailboxes being protected.
In addition to 83 primary storage arrays and 85 secondary storage systems, the company has officially validated support for 37 object storage systems, 12 of which are immutable – including support across all three hyper-scalers (AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Storage) and available in all three respective marketplaces. It boasts more than 1 EB of data protected with object storage in just the past 2 years.
