Once again Veeam has been recognized as one of Microsoft’s top global partners for 2017, achieving Finalist ranking for Application Development, Partner of the Year Award. As a Partner of the Year Award Finalist, Veeam is being honored for our continued innovation within the Veeam Availability Suite and for being one of the most successful ISV partners in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace with five certified VMs.

It’s no secret that HPE has gone through some painful changes over the past years, but this was all by design to morph the old HPE into a whole new HPE company that is poised to meet the needs of the new IT customer. Bill Philbin stated that customers will see this new HPE starting at HPE Discover in June, “You’ll see a whole new HPE company, just like a phoenix, we’re building a brand-new company because we made the hard decisions in the past year and now we are right-sized to move forward.”

About a month ago, Veeam gathered close to 3,000 attendees in New Orleans, LA for VeeamON 2017, the world’s premier Availability event — a great success for the Veeam family. What puts Veeam in the forefront of innovation and customer satisfaction is our great relationship with our Alliance partners. As the old African proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Veeam’s collaboration with partners is the key ingredient for our global business growth and for our goal to deliver the best Availability solution on the market.

I want to share some key highlights of what our Global Strategic Alliance partners presented at VeeamON ... Read more

In the world of business, a lack of speed can be fatal to your ability to compete. Perhaps that is why many organizations are embracing all-flash storage solutions for their data center environments.

It’s been about a month since Veeam’s annual user and partner conference VeeamON, which was held in New Orleans, Louisiana this year. I’m still missing the casual, free spirited vibe of the Big Easy and of course New Orleans-style Cajun cooking.

If you’ve ever been to New Orleans, you’ve probably seen Tabasco hot sauce on the tables at practically every restaurant. I’m a firm believer that hot sauce makes good food taste even better and such is the relationship of Cisco and Veeam.

Close to seven years ago, Veeam and Quantum came together to offer Veeam Backup & Replication as a tested and validated software for interoperability with Quantum DXi Series network attached storage (NAS) backup appliances. Enhanced support for any deduplication appliance, including Quantum DXi appliances, was included with Veeam Availability Suite v9. And with Quantum’s recent announcement, our partnership continues to expand and evolve.

What if I suggested putting Flash into your backup target? This is exactly what Nimble Storage has done with the recent release of their Secondary Flash array.

Adding a flash tier can offer some great additional advantages to certain Veeam features and functionality when it comes to backup, but mainly recovery.

IT managers tasked with ensuring the Availability of business services may often feel like the tragic figure Sisyphus of Greek mythology. Punished for eternity by the gods, Sisyphus was forced to roll an enormous bolder up a hill only to see it come tumbling back towards him once it reached the summit. Feel like you’re living in your own Greek passion play when it comes to managing your data protection environment? Fear not. Your sentence may soon be commuted.

Today’s HyperFlex version updates from Cisco come almost a year to the day of its launch. The updates are important for organizations — many of which are Veeam customers —interested in the benefits of all-in-one compute, storage, network and virtualization technologies.

Veeam’s relationship with Cisco has continued to strengthen. And last week’s news about our integration with Cisco HyperFlex has made it even stronger.

At just one-year-old with about 1,000 customers to its name, many of our Veeam customers now view Cisco HyperFlex as an important business platform. We’ve watched the rapid growth of ... Read more

In early February 2017, Cisco announced their 2.0 release of HyperFlex. The noticeable innovations are the introduction of All Flash HX nodes with 3rd generation UCS Fabric networking, as well as even better support for data and I/O intensive applications. These innovations already enhance the existing flexible and modular platform, which combines compute performance nodes, hyper converged storage and networking.

But there is more in HX 2.0 than what is mentioned above.
