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.

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

In the classic model, firewall rules were called endpoints, and they needed to be created per VM. In the ARM model, you can create a security group that you can use to create firewall rules for all VMs in that resource group.

Many times, customers feel like their infrastructures are slow, and they don’t know where to start troubleshooting. In this post, we’ll discuss the key Microsoft Hyper-V performance metrics and how Veeam can help determine and solve the problems with advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities Veeam ONE.

Are you willing to make a decision that will lose your company $16 million a year, damage brand and corporate reputations, and risk the loss of customer confidence? I am pretty sure that most enterprise’s response to that question would be the same – “absolutely not”.

However, these are the consequences that unplanned IT downtime can have on any enterprise.   As a marketer and executive, I know first-hand the financial commitment all companies dedicate to building their brands. In today’s economic environment, where users demand 24/7 access to information and applications, any avoidable downtime can inflict irrevocable damage.  At Veeam, our mission is to ensure that every company in the world has the capability to operate as an Always-on Enterprise.  With ...

When you need to back up large amounts of data, you try to use up as little space as possible in order to minimize backup storage costs. During backup analysis using Veeam ONE, for example, you might notice that virtual machine (VM) backups are much larger than the actual data. This phenomenon is common with file servers or with systems in which lots of data are deleted or held only for a short time.

Another requirement, however, might be not having to back up certain data or directories in the first place, since those data are only needed temporarily and there’s no need to hold them in backup storage.
