All organizations are experiencing explosive data growth. Data growth continues to accelerate at almost exponential speed, and with that comes the pain points of organizations trying to manage that growth. Many companies still struggle to achieve the economy of scale both from an operational simplicity and cost point of view that makes storing data long term viable. With the arrival of Object Storage, these problems have seemed to start eroding, though the amount of organizations that have deployed it to their on-premises environments remains relatively low.
With the launch of Update 4 for Veeam® Backup & Replication™ 9.5, we have added Veeam Cloud Tier as a new innovative way to extend backup repositories to the cloud, effectively delivering an infinitely scalable Scale-out Backup Repository™ (SOBR). In this whitepaper, we give a technical overview of the solution together with a deep dive into it's features and benefits. Read now

Microsoft Office 365 is the largest solution for digital collaboration today. Office 365 customers can choose to connect to their on-premises workloads and benefit from a seamless user experience — even when moving between different environments — creating a hybrid platform. Office 365 has a high adoption rate by businesses of all sizes.

While Office 365 offers an undisputed flexibility with the integration of several solutions, it deeply focuses on the infrastructure management rather than data management. The responsibility for data management and its Availability still belongs to the respective owners leveraging the Office 365 services.

In fact, Office 365 data center uptime refers to the infrastructure rather than data hosted in the data centers. Infrastructure uptime does not include cases where the data center itself can provide an effective way to recover from:

• Accidental deletions
• Data loss / corruption
• Rogue apps / insider threats
• Outages

This white paper covers the implementation of Veeam® Backup for Microsoft Office 365’s solution and its architecture. Read now
