BENEFITS

Nutanix AHV Protection, Built In

Nutanix AHV consolidates compute, storage, and virtualization into one platform, and your backup should keep it that way. Veeam connects directly to AHV for application-consistent backups, with instant recovery built in and the flexibility to recover onto another supported hypervisor or the cloud.

Secure, Simple, Scalable

Quickly & Securely Backup and Restore Anywhere

Agentless protection with lightning-fast, instant VM recovery.

Move Workloads Between Platforms

Move workloads on or off AHV straight from a backup, with no migration project to run.

Scalable Modern Infrastructure With Lower TCO

Streamlined HCI models which provide a simpler licensing model that optimizes software costs.

Capabilities

Hyperconverged Resilience Done Right

Agentless Nutanix AHV backup that connects directly to Prism Central, with recovery options that keep up as your environment changes.

Application-Consistent Protection

Recover databases and applications in a consistent state, not just a crash-consistent snapshot, with inline scanning flagging threats as each backup runs.

New Workloads, Automatically Protected

Tag a VM with a Nutanix Prism Central Category once, and the right backup job picks it up automatically as your environment grows.

Instant Recovery, From Any Supported Hypervisor

Bring a VM backed up on another supported hypervisor onto AHV in seconds, not a multi-week migration project.

Lower Storage Costs, Automatically

As backups age, they move themselves from fast local storage to lower-cost tiers, so a multi-year retention policy stops sitting on your most expensive disk.

Restore at Any Level You Need

Pick the level that fits the outage: a full VM, a single disk, or a point-in-time snapshot, without restoring more than you need.

Keep Your Backups Safe

Cut the risk of one compromised account taking down your backups, with multi-factor authentication, immutability, and four-eyes authorization.

More Than Just VMs

Protect Nutanix Files, Objects, and Kubernetes workloads alongside your AHV VMs, agentless and from the same console.

Granular Recovery, Anywhere AHV Runs

Recover down to the file or application object whether your AHV cluster runs on-premises or as Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2).

Catch Compromise Before You Restore

Scan backup data against known indicators of compromise, a second layer alongside the YARA rules and inline scanning that run during backup.
