One of the common things that happen in my group of evangelists is helping organizations of all sizes take an Availability strategy to the cloud. When it comes to the cloud, Veeam has a lot of options and has had so for a number of years.

I frequently go back to one question: “What are you wanting to accomplish with a cloud or service provider technology?” This is where the answers get interesting. I’ve heard everything from: “I’m out of space in my data center,” “I want cheap storage,” “I have a credit to use in Azure,” “I want complete disaster recovery,” “I want to get data off-site but don’t have a second site myself,” and more.

Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 is just around the corner. I have been testing the beta version for two months now, and I tested the first promised feature — the Veeam-Nimble integration — a month ago. Today, I’ll demonstrate the test of another enhancement — integrated Direct Restore to Microsoft Azure.

At Veeam, our customers are our number one priority and their feedback helps us continuously improve our business. Veeam’s annual Customer Satisfaction Survey shares important feedback on how our customers feel about Veeam’s products and services. The results are in for our 2016 survey and we are excited to share them with you today!

Veeam’s 2016 Net Promoter Score

An organization’s Net Promoter Score boils down to one simple question — How likely is it that you would recommend Veeam to a friend or colleague?

When it comes to ensuring the Availability of SAP environments, enterprises need to ensure their expectations are met. Recently, I collaborated with a few of my peers and experts in the industry to provide detailed, technical information on ensuring the Availability of SAP environments with Veeam. If you have SAP, it’s an important part of your business, and ensuring its Availability goes without saying.

Data Availability has become more and more important for today’s businesses. The NetApp Data ONTAP and Veeam combination provides a high Availability level for the Always-On Enterprise. By leveraging NetApp data protection features like snapshots, SnapMirror and SnapVault, Veeam is able to enhance recovery time and recovery point objectives, otherwise known as RTPO, for VMs and applications residing on NFS-, FC-, FCoE- and iSCSI-based arrays.

Some enterprise data centers are leveraging NetApp’s ability to cascade ONTAP systems to maximize Availability. In this blogpost, I explain the benefits of leveraging an ONTAP cascaded design with Veeam.

Veeam Backup & Replication has added a new integration – Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365. How can you benefit from Office 365 email backup with the Veeam’s new product? Why is cloud Availability different from cloud recoverability? In this blog, we will discuss all these topics and try to shed some light on the needs and use cases of email backups. Of course, we will demonstrate the product in action for you.

VeeamON 2017 is the most awaited Availability event of the year – definitely the right place to network with IT fellows worldwide and take the pulse of the whole IT industry. Wondering how you can be part of the action? By sponsoring the event, your company will become part of the conversation and the future of Availability through the substantial exposure the over 3,000 attendees will generate for your products and services.

Hyper-converged infrastructure environments are increasing in popularity for many reasons, especially for ROBO (Remote Office / Branch Office) environments. They are integrated software-defined systems that combine compute, network, storage and virtualization with a software layer that provides a single system of managed IT. Hyper-converged infrastructures are easy to deploy, manage and offer IT agility and flexibility as well as a decrease in operational costs and the resources needed to manage them.

Between celebrating our 10th anniversary, acquiring our 200,000th customer and making our biggest product announcement yet — the Veeam Availability Platform for the Hybrid Cloud — this year has already been a memorable one for Veeam. But, as incredible as 2016 has been, we expect next year to be even better. We have always known that our company has what it takes, and today, our efforts were recognized in the first-ever Forbes 2016 Cloud 100, the definitive list of the top 100 private-cloud companies in the world.

It’s safe to say that users expect their applications to be Always On. When was the last time you remember Google search or Gmail being unavailable? Or Amazon’s web store? How about UBER? And, if for some reason you couldn’t access these services, they likely became available shortly after resetting your browser. The fact is that users expect a similar Availability experience everywhere they go.

Now, you may argue that your business is not a Google, Amazon or UBER, but it doesn’t matter. Unless you can consistently provide a reliable service to your customers, you’re at risk of losing them to a competitor who can.

And yet, 84% of IT planners believe they have an Availability Gap between what their customers, partners ... Read more
