Veeam Software - affordable backup for your business
Veeam and Modern Backup Solutions
Whether you are a small SME or a large established global company you need to ensure your data is safe. Veeam offers a modern backup solution that leverages intelligent algorithms to provide you with real-time analytics. It also provides automated reporting and automates the planning and running of the systems back up and disaster recovery system.
The next-generation backup and disaster recovery solution that Veeam provides is designed to 'just work'. What stands the Veeam solution apart from other alternatives fundamentally is intelligence and automation. Recovery can be achieved through a one-touch solution and importantly the ability to check your ability to recover. This checking system uses intelligent automated tools ensuring you don't need to disrupt the production system.
Most companies do not check their recovery strategy routinely due to not wanting to disrupt operations. Alternatively, this is because the recovery process is potentially risky, complex, and even larger companies can go years without checking it.
Noticing that their backup system misses data during backup operations or is turned off is common. These horror stories can also be in-part be due to staff turnaround and poor business documentation. Automation helps bulletproof the recovery system.
How Veeam Solutions Work
Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator (DRO) along with Veeam Backup and Replication and Veeam ONE work together. They help to reduce the risk to production data and save time managing and restoring a system. While they also impart confidence in the disaster recovery system implemented thanks to intelligent and automated tools. The initial recovery plan is created through a user-friendly wizard a few minutes after the installation of the software. Key features include;
One-click recovery enables even single applications to be recovered or the entire system from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Applications running on the system can be checked in real-time and ensure that it is working as expected. This feature is compatible with Exchange, Sharepoint, SQL Server, Active Directory, and many other key enterprise tools.
The latest releases of the Veeam DRO (v5) software provide storage orchestration for Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Primera, Alletra 9000, and 3PAR storage systems. This allows failover for HPE storage systems and utilizes native snapshot replication. This makes the recovery process easy. HPE storage users can dynamically generate documentation and use the DataLabs testing and HTML5 based plan creation wizard.
Regular system reports are normally conducted as a manual process in most companies. This is now automated thanks to the intelligent real-time analytics collecting the data you need into a useful report. For most this can mean at least 30 minutes a week collecting data in screenshots or writing key storage sizes into a report and sending it off.
Patches and updates can be tested using a live lab that stops untested updates from being rolled out to the production environment.
Secure role-based access management can also be used to restrict users to certain areas of the business.
Some supported platforms include; VMware, HP, NetApp, Lenovo, Microsoft, SQL Server, MS Active Directory.
Veeam solutions provide continuous data protection (CDP) along with supporting replica services, online and offline backup, and snap-shots.
