NEW Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 2.0 has the ability to back up directly to Veeam Cloud Connect repositories without any additional investments from the VCSP. It just works as part of any existing Cloud Connect Backup infrastructure built on Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 2. As we did with Cloud Connect Backup and then Cloud Connect Replication in resolving the complexity around getting virtual machine backups, backup copy jobs and replicas up into a cloud platform, we have now resolved the complexity of getting physical servers and workstations as well as cloud-based Windows instances into cloud environments operated by our VCSP partners.

There is no question that ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent. In fact, some have proposed that 2017 is the Year of Ransomware. The WannaCry attack led to the infection of more than 230,000 computers and more recently, the Petya outbreak on June 27, 2017 led to a second global spread of ransomware. While traditional methods of data protection are essential, they are not sufficient.

Traditional data protection strategies have centered around the three foundational components of IT:  people, process and technology. Data protection with people begins with education and a continuous focus on making employees aware of the most ... Read more
