Service providers offer value to customers to meet data demands today. Whether it be controlling data sprawl, protecting critical data or managing data growth, service providers give customers peace of mind to ensure data is available and protected. By partnering with Veeam® and offering products like Veeam Availability Suite™, Veeam Cloud Connect and Veeam Service Provider Console, customers gain a trusted solution that’s simple, flexible and reliable.
Monitoring customers’ environments with Veeam ONE™ should not be overlooked as it provides visibility into potential bottlenecks in real-time, allowing for fast fixes. Paired with the ability to remotely manage backup operations through Veeam Service Provider Console, they can increase productivity and manage backups all in one place. This paper discusses how service providers can use both these tools to provide effective monitoring and management solutions to prepare any environment from day zero to year five. Read now

Most organizations today rely on virtualized IT infrastructures. Veeam® helps them to provide and increase Availability of critical workloads running on their systems. Due to various factors, some physical servers cannot be virtualized, along with endpoints that might not be protectable in their entirety by leveraging back-up solutions built for virtualized systems. Thus, everyday occurrences such as lapses in connectivity, hardware failures, file corruption, ransomware or even theft can leave an organization’s data at risk.
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows solves these issues by closing the gap that some enterprises face with large, heterogeneous environments and further enabling workload mobility by delivering Availability for cloud-based workloads.
This paper describes:

• the main concepts behind Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows
• how agents can be managed centrally by integration into Veeam Backup & Replication™
• and more!
