Veeam Availability Suite v9 introduced integration for EMC VNX and VNXe hybrid storage arrays. These are a great storage system to run your vSphere VMs and also for leveraging Veeam. If you have one of these arrays, even if you aren’t a Veeam customer, you should really check out this integration.

Let’s first identify what parts of the data center we are talking about. From a storage perspective, any EMC VNX or VNXe storage system (including VNX2), a vSphere installation (except the free hypervisor) and a Veeam Backup & Replication system may be used, including Veeam Backup Free Edition for the restore technique from the storage snapshots.

Being a Microsoft Hyper-V administrator who has to manage many servers on a regular basis is not as difficult as you might think. Okay, sometimes you have to be present in a server room and perform physical operations like dealing with a broken HDD or power outage, but when it comes to remote Hyper-V server management, you can do things with no physical presence.

SQL databases are the heart and soul of your ERP and CRM systems, as well as many other critical business applications. Their downtime and lost data mean financial losses in hours of employee work, lost deals and profits.

Executive leadership that supports and empowers its team to execute on initiatives is not just Veeam’s strategy; it’s the foundation of all highly successful organizations.

Ratmir’s leadership has seen the company’s Y 2014 results report total bookings revenue of $389 million, a 40-percent increase over the ... Read more

Reliable backup is one of the foundations of availability.  When things go wrong, data can be lost.  The more data that is lost, the greater the potential business impact. Part of getting back up and running quickly is being able to restore operations to where they were before the problem started.  Sometimes, however, problems are not limited to a single occurrence.  Compounding of problems can put your backups at risk as well.
