IDC is finding that the move to hybrid cloud is already occurring, and will continue to accelerate in the near future. According to a recent IDC Researchi survey, “Depending on the exact definition of a hybrid cloud, 20–45 percent of respondents have already adopted what they consider to be a hybrid cloud strategy, while nearly all respondents have some aspirations for a hybrid cloud.”

RFS is a global wireless and broadcast infrastructure specialist with 1,800 employees working in seven factories and research and development centers in five countries, and it relies on a highly virtualized environment to cut hardware costs and energy use. The company's Hanover, Germany, facility backs up CIFS data and VMware storage, which is growing by 10 to 20 percent annually. Nearly 85 percent of its infrastructure is virtualized, with a goal of hitting 95 percent, making a reliable backup solution particularly vital. Looking to save time and reduce disk space used, the RFS Hanover IT team sought a new redundant backup and replication solution for its virtual environment. The team also wanted an inexpensive system incorporating the latest technologies that would be easy to manage.

“Today’s enterprises are more demanding than ever before, generating ever-increasing amounts of data to which they expect 24/7 access; this places an immense burden on IT to deliver,” said Ratmir Timashev, CEO at Veeam. “Veeam Availability Suite v9 addresses these needs with our most robust, scalable and feature-rich offering to date.

“Both production and protection storage volumes are growing around 40 percent year-over-year, while data protection budgets are growing roughly one-tenth of that,” according to Jason Buffington, Senior Data Protection Analyst at ESG. “The irony is that IT is being asked to increase their availability and agility to recover, but aren’t even able to maintain the status quo with legacy approaches to backup, in part due to storage requirements.”

With Symantec, Exchange applications would fail with no recovery points, and backups took an exorbitant amount of time to complete. In fact, the backups took so long, that AACPS only protected crucial data; the OS and applications were left out of the nightly backup. What’s more, when AACPS needed to recover data, the process took 18 to 24 hours to complete.

The cost and complexity of VM protection has kept many IT departments from enjoying the full benefits of a virtualized environment. The combination of Veeam Backup & Replication software with Quantum's storage solutions maximizes data availability, enabling files to be restored in just seconds and VMs to be restored in minutes while reducing both on-premise and disaster recovery (DR) site backup storage costs compared to traditional backup applications. This combination also shortens backup windows and dramatically simplifies VM backups.

Veeam has long offered recovery from Oracle and other popular applications via U-AIR (Universal Application-Item Recovery) wizard. Now, Veeam Explorer for Oracle provides much simpler and more powerful recovery, joining the family of Veeam Explorers already developed specifically for Microsoft Active Directory, Exchange, SharePoint and SQL server.
