New backup and recovery solution integrates with Azure functionality to help organizations move more applications and data to Azure; eliminates cloud data loss while maintaining control over costs and security.
Veeam Software has announced the general availability of NEW Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure, an enterprise-ready cloud backup and recovery solution. This new offering will enable customers and service providers to move more applications and data to Azure, and to cost-effectively, securely, and easily protect cloud applications and data in Azure. In addition, Veeam’s portable backup format enables complete Cloud Mobility – including backup, recovery, and migration – across a multi-cloud environment.
Public cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), such as Microsoft Azure, continues to rapidly grow in adoption for production IT workloads. Even with public cloud IaaS, while the uptime of the infrastructure is guaranteed by the service provider, the customer is still responsible for not only their data, but also protecting that data against threats such as ransomware, accidental deletion, data corruption or rogue users, just as it is with customers’ on-premises data. With NEW Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure, Veeam extends its broad platform support with a comprehensive, enterprise-ready solution for added backup and recovery controls of Azure apps and data hosted on Azure virtual machines.
“According to the Veeam Cloud Data Management Report, cloud data loss is something all organizations are experiencing,” said Danny Allan, CTO at Veeam. “Whether it is due to error, accidental deletion, security threats such as ransomware and malware, or retention gaps, customers are responsible for protecting their data regardless of location – on-premises or in the cloud. Our solutions eliminate the challenges and complexities IT professionals face by improving reliability, reducing costs, and shortening recovery windows. NEW Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure provides customers with greater cost controls and savings while also enabling them take control of their cloud data by protecting and managing Azure alongside their cloud, virtual, and physical apps and data.”
