Some of the challenges facing IT organizations today are around not only protecting and restoring workloads, but also the configurations of the actual cloud environment itself. This is just like in the on-premises world where infrastructure configurations are protected, like network switch configurations, VMware vCenter, firewall rules, etc. In AWS, the equivalent service that provides these resources is called Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).

This is a question not to be taken lightly. Unfortunately, more often than not, such questions are one of the last to consider when planning a migration to the cloud. It’s sort of a unified assumption these days that whatever goes to the cloud is protected by default. Well, how can it not be? Isn’t it the part of the “as-a-service” piece? Read more

Today we’re going to explore the big three (Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform), how their pricing models are similar and differ, and how to make the most of them when designing a backup strategy that incorporates any of them. These three aren’t the only object storage providers that Veeam integrate with, and most of the lessons within this blog will be applicable to any storage vendor. Read more

Kubernetes makes application deployment easier, yet application features require an increasing number of components and requirements. A good example of this is the IBM blockchain network, in which the trust on the transaction can be distributed between organizations. Read more

Are you struggling with this initial offload process and want to learn how to design a Scale-Out Backup Repository that will scale? This Blog will take a look into the lessons learned from the field and our storage partners that could possibly impact your offload process. 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

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 is subject to throttling rules placed on SharePoint sites. These rules limit traffic speed for any item downloaded per user from any SharePoint site or OneDrive for Business on Microsoft servers. These throttling rules generally go unnoticed in day-to-day use of the cloud product but can drastically limit backup recovery point objectives. Veeam has a solution to this problem in the way of Auxiliary backup accounts. Read more

With more and more businesses relying on public clouds to run their IT infrastructure, it’s becoming more of a challenge managing these environments. When we look at AWS for example, a best practice is to use AWS accounts to segregate workloads and create security boundaries. Read more
