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

As production servers are being consolidated with virtual environments at a rapid rate, data protection via backups is as important as ever. Because of this, virtual infrastructures are becoming the standard.

In this white paper learn more on how Veeam’s latest plug-in for FUJITSU Storage AF S2/DX S4 and Veeam Backup & Replication will:

Provide options to perform virtual machine backups which were only possible with Virtual Volumes (VV0L)
Improve performance of business critical applications
Leverage Fujitsu’s storage snapshots between the backup for better Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)

For many customers and service providers, long-term retention of backups is a costly and time-consuming process. Using the AWS (Amazon Web Services) gateway to act as a VTL (Virtual Tape Library) with Veeam®, however, allows users to save time and money by connecting their on-premises Veeam Backup & Replication™ archives to AWS, and then sending archival backups from Veeam Backup & Replication to AWS, including AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive.

This guide highlights the features, setup and best practices for using Veeam with AWS Storage Gateway in VTL mode, including:

Planning and proper sizing of an AWS VTL gateway
Connecting AWS gateway appliances to Veeam
Configuring and ensuring optimal performance for AWS VTL Gateway

More and more companies come to understand that server virtualization is the way for modern data safety. In 2019, VMware is still the market leader and many Veeam® customers use VMware vSphere as their preferred virtualization platform. But, backup of virtual machines on vSphere is only one part of service Availability. Backup is the foundation for restores, so it is essential to have backups always available with the required speed.

The “Top 10 Best Practices for vSphere Backups” white paper discusses best practices with Veeam Backup & Replication™ and VMware vSphere, such as:

Planning your data restore in advance
Keeping track of your data backup software updates and keeping your backup tools up-to-date
Integrating storage based snapshots into your Availability concept
And much more!
