Anyone with console access to a Linux machine can get root access on the machine by booting into “single user mode”. In this blog, I will show how to boot into single user mode and how to protect the bootloader against unauthenticated attempts to boot into single user mode. Read more

Veeam is proud to release the findings of yet another independent research project, the Cloud Protection Trends Report for 2023, which looks at production and protection scenarios that deliver “as a Service”. Read more

Welcome to the third installment of our Cloud Protection Trends Report for 2023 blog series. Last week, Sam and I discussed some of the research findings from the , which surveyed 1,700 “as a Service” administrators, including those responsible for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) for file services and/or databases. Veeam contracts with independent research firms to ask questions on an assortment of topics – including the adoption trends for both IaaS and PaaS scenarios. Read more

In the accelerating world of cloud computing, enterprises of all sizes have diversified their infrastructures across multiple cloud environments like AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. There could be multiple factors behind this trend, including per-region discounts. Sometimes, discounts to specific verticals like science research get better deals, and the compute is therefore more optimized in specific cloud offerings. Read more

Cloud-native architectures are being increasingly adopted by organizations for their enterprise and business-critical applications. Data security and ease of managing data protection operations has become a business imperative. Kasten K10 now supports Azure Linux container host for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) that can provide a secure foundation to run your container workloads. This reflects the latest collaboration between Kasten by Veeam and Microsoft and builds on our existing relationship to provide customers with an additional layer of protection. Read more

Unstructured data and file repositories are common in most enterprise environments. As organizations try to reduce licensing costs and maintenance overhead, Network Attached Storage (NAS) is still commonplace in many modern enterprises. The ability to store and host data directly on NAS without having to manage OS patches and other lifecycle operations is very attractive to many IT departments. Even though it isn’t suited for all workloads, unstructured data like Microsoft Office documents, JPGs, MP3s, etc. is one of the most common use cases for NAS backup. 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.
