When Veeam Backup & Replication v11 went available in February of this year, I had no idea how much of an impact this release would have on the market. V11 came in my 11th year here are Veeam, and while I knew it was the biggest release we’ve ever had — call me impressed! Read more

Welcome to the final part of our three-part series on Veeam and object storage. In part one we looked at the similarities and differences between the big three "hyperscale" cloud providers, then in part two we looked at how Veeam can be configured to optimise your object storage utilisation and efficiency. Now in part three we'll look at some benchmarks to provide real results to help shape your object storage designs. Enabling you to accelerate your adoption of object storage in an effective manner.

In part one we looked at the characteristics that make up the cloud object storage offerings of the main three cloud providers (Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services/AWS, Google Cloud Platform/GCP). Now that we understand what to look for from our cloud providers and the features they have available, we’ll look at what information we need to gather to build our own cost and performance estimates to implement object storage ourselves.

Cloud deployments are continuing to gain massive popularity, accelerated by the desire to modernize, evolving telework trends, and cost concerns. While not an exhaustive list of reasons, cloud platforms are here to stay. Eighty-one percent of surveyed organizations leveraged multi-cloud strategies last year. Additionally, Flexera’s 2020 State of the Cloud Survey found that 93% of respondents plan to implement multi-cloud. That said, what’s all the buzz about? We’ll dive into the ins and outs of multi-cloud, how you can implement it, and its inherent benefits. Read more

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).

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

Veeam Service Provider Console v5 was introduced in February of 2021 and was built upon previous releases to allow Veeam service providers further reach into their customers’ environments, offering them the ability to drive new service offerings around physical and cloud-based workloads. One new key feature of Veeam Service Provider Console was the capability of leveraging the built-in public cloud plug-ins in Veeam Backup & Replication v11, extending to the protection of customer workloads residing in AWS and Azure.

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 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

Veeam has always had a strong story with VMware Cloud Director. From releasing the first Self-Service Portal back in v7 of Veeam Backup & Replication through to the ability to have a VCD organization as a Cloud Connect Replication target site, Veeam has always offered value for our cloud and service providers using VCD. In V11, we have taken this a step further with the release of VCD-to-VCD replication and a fully supported HTML5 Tenant UI for deeper self-service. Read more
