Veeam is able to bring additional restore granularity and intelligence to recovery from VNX storage snapshots. Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots enables multiple recovery scenarios, whether recovering an individual file, restoring an individual application item such as an Exchange e-mail or SharePoint document, or even recovering a single VM in a matter of minutes. As a result of this integration, users can achieve much lower RPOs (recovery point objectives) and lower RTOs (recovery time objectives) with minimal impact on production VMs.

Highlights of vSphere 6 support in Veeam Availability Suite v8 include the following enhancements (most of which are not currently available from any other competing vendor):

It's so easy to install that users can be up and running in just a couple of minutes. And it's just as easy to use. With Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE, users can back up endpoints to an external hard drive, network shared folder or a Veeam Backup & Replication repository. If a user's system crashes, hard drive fails, or files get corrupted or accidentally deleted, they can recover whatever they need in minutes. Even better, Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE enables the creation of bootable recovery media, which helps users to fix issues with their machine which may prevent the operating system from booting, or even reset the Local Administrator account's password.

"We were spending 80 percent of our time running and maintaining backups and only 20 percent of our time focusing on data center projects that would move the business forward," said Hercu Rabsatt, Director of Infrastructure and Service Management at Mansfield Oil. "We needed a single, easy-to-use data availability strategy that integrated tightly with our nearly 100 percent virtualized environment."

"Today's users are more demanding than ever before, generating ever-increasing amounts of data and they expect 24/7 access to applications and data - this places an immense burden on IT to deliver," said Ratmir Timashev, CEO at Veeam. "Organizations that fail to deal with this 'availability gap' [the gap between the requirements of the Always-On Business and IT's ability to effectively deliver] will falter in the coming year. Veeam is committed to addressing the availability gap through innovation, and Veeam Availability Suite v8 tackles this issue head-on. Customer adoption has been strong and initial feedback in the solution's first-quarter on the market has been outstanding. We are excited at what Veeam Availability Suite v8 can offer our users and it seems that they [our customers] share our enthusiasm."

"The availability of IT is more important than ever. Yet businesses globally are being failed by an IT industry that has led them to believe they have to accept downtime, and that the Always-On Business is nothing but a fantasy," said Ratmir Timashev, CEO at Veeam. "This isn't acceptable. Organizations can't afford to lose millions of dollars from IT failures, nor can they continue to gamble with data availability. The good news is things are set to change. Organizations just need to throw away what they've been told for years about availability and demand better. If every organization does this, then in five years application availability will become a redundant topic as consumers and employees across the planet access what they want, when they want it."

Veeam Cloud Connect will also support Azure for Veeam partners who are building Veeam availability services on their own and need the on-demand scalability and capacity that Azure offers to grow their business.

“Across the globe, customers and resellers alike are looking to the cloud to grow their businesses,” commented Ratmir Timashev, president and CEO of Veeam. “Placing critical assets outside your ‘walls’ is a leap of faith, but with Microsoft Azure and VMware vCloud Air, resellers and have two offerings that help them take the cost, complexity and concern out of data center design and deployment. Veeam has long-standing partnerships with both Microsoft and VMware, and our teams are tightly integrated to ensure that together, we are able to provision the Always-On Business.”

"With Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE, IT professionals now have a simple solution for backing up endpoints, which has long been a major data protection headache," said Ratmir Timashev, CEO of Veeam. "Veeam believes that modern data centers should be fully virtualized, but we also recognize that unlike servers, endpoints will always remain physical, and they need to be backed up as well. Plus, if the IT organization still has a few physical servers left in their data center, Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE can help fill that gap."

"We are pleased that Westcon Group NZ has joined the Veeam Cloud Provider program at such an exciting time," said Don Williams, APAC Vice President for Veeam. "We recently announced Veeam Cloud Connect, coming with new Veeam Availability Suite v8 (available in early Q4 2014), that gives service providers a direct pipeline to benefit from the Veeam ecosystem. We are confident that our data center availability solutions combined with Westcon Group's ecosystem in New Zealand will enable the company to acquire new customers, resulting in additional growth of their overall profitability and value."
