Great news, everyone, a new Veeam plug-in for Hitachi Vantara systems is now available! This is something I’ve been personally waiting for and am happy to bring the news to you. Let’s first break down what we have to share and how it works. Read more

One thing that all CIOs have had on their minds the last couple of years is if their infrastructure and services are safe from ransomware attacks. So far in 2021 we have seen a surge of ransomware attacks that have targeted even large enterprises like Colonial Pipeline which supply 45% of the East Coast's supply of diesel, petrol and jet fuel and ended up paying 5 million for getting back access to their data. The latest statistics show that there is a ransomware attack every 11 seconds, where the attackers utilize different attack vectors to try to get access. So how can we protect ourselves or at least reduce the risk from these types of attacks? Read more

Cisco chose Veeam for this CVD because Veeam has deep storage snapshot integration with the storage in the FlashStack, which is the Pure Storage FlashArray//X. The story would not be complete without including backup storage options, so three backup storage options were tested and documented: Cisco UCS S3260 storage server, Cisco UCS C240 All-Flash rack server, and Pure Storage FlashArray//C with Cisco UCS C220 rack server.

May was a busy month! I had the opportunity to present at Pure//Accelerate again this year and we just wrapped up VeeamON 2021. By the way, both events now have content up for replay, so it’s the perfect time to catch up! wOne of the common themes that I had for both events was some perspective around ensuring reliable data recovery from a ransomware incident. With the current threat atmosphere today, this is the opportunity to shine for backup software as well as modern storage systems. Read more

With Microsoft Office 365, there is a shared responsibility model. It’s your data — you control it — and it is your responsibility to protect it. So you’ve decided to backup your Office 365 data in the cloud, but there are many clouds to choose from - and not all clouds are created equal. Many of the big name cloud providers that you may be inclined to consider sound good at first but in reality have hidden fees that make for complicated, unpredictable bills and unwelcome surprises of egress and API request fees every month. Wasabi makes cloud storage simple for customers and partners. Read more

Since Nutanix's announcement of Nutanix Mine with Veeam and subsequent release early last year, we've been hard at work strengthening the additional points of intersection between Veeam and Nutanix. Let's take a look at some of our recent achievements and explore how, in conjunction with Nutanix Mine with Veeam, a complete story for your data's lifecycle comes together. Read more

Veeam Backup & Replication v11 introduces the Hardened Repository as a secure place where backups can be stored immutably for a configured amount of time. With the Hardened Repository, Veeam created a WORM (write once, read many) storage option for Veeam backups. And the best part, this new role can be deployed on ANY general-purpose Linux server, without locking you down to the special proprietary hardware. Read more

Last week, Veeam published what we believe to be the largest independent research report on data protection ever. That’s a big claim, but if you look at most analysts’ reports, they typically survey 200 to 400 unbiased respondents; 300 is a sweet spot for regular research. Big reports might survey 600-800, maybe even 1,000 respondents. Veeam contracted a third-party research firm to do a blind survey of 3,000 IT Decision Makers, mostly in organizations over 1,000 employees across 28 countries around the world, all of whom influenced or determined the data protection strategies of their organizations.
