Here at Veeam, our alliance partners are at the core of our business, and we continually work together with them to deliver Availability for the Always-On Enterprise. Cisco has been one of our key alliance partners for many years, and in recent months, we further strengthened our partnership through several strategic movements for the benefit of our customers. Earlier in August, we announced that Veeam will be added to the Cisco Global Price List by the end of the year, enabling one-stop shopping: Cisco and its resellers can deliver our Availability solutions together with any Cisco software or hardware product.

In breaking news, last week was a special week for Veeam as we were ... Read more

I’m dusting off my cowboy boots and getting ready to head down to the Lone Star State (Texas) for Cisco’s annual partner summit in a couple weeks. The Cisco Partner Summit is their premier, invite-only partner event held annually for their top partner executives. This year’s theme is “OWN IT,” and as it rapidly approaches, I thought about how Veeam and Cisco is well on their way to OWN IT and enable their customers to do the same, together.

It’s been a challenging and emotional week. The horrific tragedy in Las Vegas has left us all heartbroken and a bit numb. With NetApp Insight scheduled this week, the decision was made to cancel the first day’s events and activities, but resume the conference and sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday, as planned. I’m sure it was a difficult and delicate decision for our friends at NetApp to make, but they have shown respect, class and leadership to all this week. We are proud to call them partners.

Being with the Veeam team, our partners and customers is the best part of my job, and this week was no different, although it was under very surreal circumstances and a bit more subdued. ... Read more

I’m in Orlando with my emotions torn.

Firstly, I feel humbled by the welcome all of those attending Microsoft Ignite have received from a city that has been through so much in the past few weeks. Hurricane Irma inflicted so much destruction and devastation across the state, and to be welcomed in such a warm way by folks who are still picking up the pieces proves that human spirit and determination can overcome so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected, and we all hope that the worst is over.

Secondly, I am super excited about this week. I’ve been to Ignite many times, several while carrying a Microsoft business card, but to be here ... Read more

Greetings fellow IT professionals! After more than 20 years of TechEd in the late spring and early summer, Microsoft will give us Microsoft Ignite (formerly TechEd) in the fall from Sept. 25 – 29, 2017 in beautiful Orlando, Florida. I am so excited to get together with 10,000 of my closest IT friends at the Orange County Convention Center and talk about the amazing emerging technologies and innovations that will change the shape of our world for the foreseeable future.

Cloud adoption is soaring. According to IDC, worldwide spending on public cloud computing will increase from $67 billion in 2015 to $162 billion in 2020, attaining a 19% CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) . The cloud is here to stay, and it’s only going to become more important.

As enterprises move to the cloud, however, ensuring data Availability has become more critical. This includes making sure that users can access information at any time and from anywhere. Veeam is a pioneer in this space, delivering bullet-proof Availability for multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud environments, regardless of whether the environment is private, public, managed or SaaS (Software as a Service). Taking this to the next level, as ... Read more

Cisco is a technology leader with a strong track record of delivering innovative solutions to customers globally. For some time, Cisco has been a key alliance partner for Veeam. Over the past two years, we have completed numerous Cisco Validated Designs (CVDs) to build on our long-lasting technical relationship. Back in March, we announced a significant step forward in our growing partnership when we showcased our direct snapshot integration for Cisco HyperFlex — the first and only one of its kind today.

We are now proud to announce yet another milestone in our strategic partnership with Cisco. Veeam will be added to the Cisco Global Price List by the end of the year. This ... Read more

You most likely know that Veeam leverages storage integration with (Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Nimble Storage, NetApp, Dell EMC and Cisco HyperFlex to provide Backup from Storage Snapshots capability, which helps reduce the impact on the production data and performance due to data protection activity. You may also know that Veeam can also provide backup from a secondary storage array to reduce impact on the production environment even further with Nimble Storage and NetApp. And as an Alliance Systems Engineer in charge of HPE, I often get the following question from HPE technical field people: “Why don’t you support this with 3PAR?” Well, we do!

We are now witnessing the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution, which continues to change the way we work, live and do business. Technology is now becoming embedded in every aspect of society today and user demand is more intense than ever before.

We now demand instant access to information, data and applications 24.7.365, no matter what device we are using or where we are located on the planet. Enterprises today MUST deliver Always-On services, or services that are always available, across all their environments. Veeam pioneered the market of Availability, and I’m proud to say that we are continuing to make big strides forward in our vision of enabling a seamless Digital Life experience for everyone.

With Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 2 we launched our integration with Cisco HyperFlex. The integration leverages our Backup from Storage Snapshot technology to optimize the data transfer for Veeam backups as well as replications. Since then I got a lot of positive feedback and questions around the integration. That’s why I want to answer the most common questions in this blog post. A brief overview on the integration itself was already done by my colleague Michael Cade earlier this year.
