Every time I view the latest download statistics, read through the product reviews on communities such as Reddit or Spiceworks and others, or just watch demo videos on YouTube, I am amazed with the tremendous success of Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE. To tell the truth, we are very proud of getting so much feedback from you, since it keeps us busy delivering the most-demanded functionality to your Windows-based devices.

Today, I would like to introduce our next update, Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE 1.5, and shed a little light on its new features.

In today’s data center-powered world, we’ve come a long way from simple, legacy backup for data protection. The new IT business objective is Availability. Companies need to be able to recover from the loss of data, applications, systems or location with minimal or zero downtime, and that is vastly different from backup solutions of yesterday.

The NetApp integration added in Veeam Availability Suite v8 is a great set of capabilities to ensure higher levels of Availability in the data center. In NEW Veeam Availability Suite v9, Veeam improved the functionality, adding — among other considerations — the NetApp E-Series range as a viable and high-performing backup repository SAN appliance for Veeam backup jobs. The E-Series offers a high-performance backup repository to store Veeam backup files. This, coupled with the high density of storage and the performance of recovery from an enterprise level storage array, makes the E-Series is a great fit for a SAN-based Veeam repository.

Starting with version 9, Veeam allows service providers to offer true Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) to their customers for both VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, thanks to Veeam Cloud Connect Replication — a fast, secure and cloud-based disaster recovery (DR) solution.

We are delighted to announce that TechTarget’s Storage Magazine named Veeam Availability Suite v8 the Product of the Year for Backup & Disaster Recovery Software and Services in 2015.

Hyper-converged infrastructure is a very hot topic in IT right now, without a doubt. Customers are interested in building a fully functional virtualized infrastructure including compute, storage and management. On March 1, Cisco announced the new hyper-converged solution, HyperFlex, at the Cisco Partner Summit in San Diego.

One of the most common questions that people ask each other when meeting for the first time is, “What do you do?” When I’m asked that question, the obvious answer would be to say that I’m in the software business. But, I’ve discovered that people aren’t actually interested in what we do. Whether they realize it or not, people ask that question because they can quickly find out a lot about who we are — our purpose, our values and our passions. If someone says they’re a firefighter, a SCUBA diver or a professional racecar driver, you might make different assumptions about their personality compared to that of an accountant, an architect or business analyst. When someone asks me what ... Read more
