This ESG Lab review documents hands-on testing of the ExaGrid backup appliance using Veeam Backup & Replication software, and demonstrates the ability to execute Veeam Instant VM Recovery alongside ExaGrid’s capacity- and cost-saving deduplication.

This document will provide you with all the steps necessary to test out Veeam Backup & Replication 6.5 in a Proof of Concept environment and validate for yourself how easy it is to protect your running VMs and to recover an entire VMs or parts of it.

For the first time, the Virtualization Data Protection Report 2013 looks at the challenges that Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) are facing with data protection strategies for their virtual environments.

This year’s report investigates specific issues SMBs are experiencing with capabilities, complexity and cost being the key challenges for organizations of this size wishing to consistently protect their most critical servers and data.

The online survey was conducted in November and December 2012 by Vanson Bourne, an independent market research agency. It surveyed 500 CIOs or heads of IT from organizations across the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and France that employ between 250 and 1,000 people. The report is sponsored by Veeam Software.

vCloud Director (vCD) is an integral part of the VMware vCloud Suite and introduces a virtualization model that requires a new approach to backup and recovery of workloads as well as configuration and metadata. This Veeam® technical brief will outline what challenges are present with vCD deployments and what should not be overlooked in a vCD data protection strategy.

This third edition of Veeam Annual Virtualization Data Protection Report 2013 shows that capability, complexity and cost issues with the backup tools are hampering IT departments.

The independent survey of 500 CIOs conducted in November 2012 across USA and Europe found that enterprises (organizations with more than 1000 employees) are still not experiencing the full benefits that virtualization offers and the advances modern data protection tools can provide. Indeed, in a number of areas enterprises’ data protection capabilities have actually diminished since the last report in late 2011.

Legacy backup is costly, inefficient, and can force IT administrators to make risky compromises that impact critical business applications, data and resources. Read this NEW white paper to learn how Modern Data Protection capitalizes on the inherent benefits of virtualization.
