Veeam Unleashes the NEW Veeam Availability Suite V10

Veeam Software announced the general availability of NEW Veeam Availability Suite v10, ushering in the next generation of data protection capabilities that increase data availability, portability, and extensibility.

Veeam Backup introduced in 2008:

First introduced in 2008 as Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam’s flagship Backup solution – Veeam Availability Suite – now delivers modern file data protection for Networked Attached Storage (NAS), Multi-VM Instant Recovery to automate disaster recovery (DR) and greatly enhanced ransomware protection.

With greater platform extensibility, data mining through APIs, and more than 150 major enhancements, Veeam has launched the industry’s most robust solution for complete data management and protection for hybrid-cloud environments.

As organizations adopt hybrid cloud strategies to fuel rapid Digital Transformation, data is becoming critical to business success.

With this laser focus on data innovation to drive business acceleration, new challenges have emerged in ensuring all data is agile, available, and connected. According to the 2019 Veeam Cloud Data Management Report, 73% of organizations are failing to meet users’ demands for uninterrupted access to applications and data; many companies are now looking to embrace Cloud Data Management to better meet protection needs and leverage the power of their data.

Veeam has extended the solution to be both broader and deeper with more platform support and advanced capabilities enabling organizations to be in better control of their data so they can meet their most important business objectives.

“v10 is the biggest release in the history of Veeam, and the enhancements we’ve made take data protection to the next level, creating the simplest, most flexible, and most reliable solution for hybrid-cloud environments,” said Danny Allan, chief technology officer and senior vice president of product strategy at Veeam.

“As the market leader in Cloud Data Management, we have made it a priority to focus on innovative, best-in-class solutions and align our products with customers’ needs.

NEW Veeam Availability Suite v10:

NEW Veeam Availability Suite v10 stays true to these ideals, helping businesses of all sizes ensure that their data is always available, portable, and protected across any cloud or platform, so they can intelligently use that data to accelerate their business success now, as well as plan for future needs.”

Veeam Availability Suite v10 protects modern workloads at scale with broader backup capabilities, achieves increased security via immutable backups with S3 Object Lock, and empowers deeper ecosystem API integration options, enabling organizations to save time, reduce costs and exceed recovery objectives.

“We are delighted to present v10 with enhanced data management capabilities and an extensive orchestration engine to facilitate disaster recovery readiness.

Based on the growing demands for modern backup and data management, v10 is built to help businesses solve their real-world IT challenges and improve operational efficiencies.

It enables customers to protect modern workloads at scale with greater backup support, improved security and automated air-gapped redundancy, and greater integration options while greatly reducing costs and improving recovery times for instant business agility.

This is a major milestone for Veeam and we are primed to continue delivering the most comprehensive, future-ready data management and protection solution for hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

The launch represents our vision of being the most trusted provider of backup solutions that enable cloud data management,” said Sandeep Bhambure, Vice President and Managing Director, India & SAARC, Veeam Software.

“Cloud-based data protection is a growing need for many of the organizations I speak with, both large and small, which are all in various stages of cloud adoption,” said Henry Baltazar, research vice president at 451 Research.

“Solutions like Veeam’s latest v10 release provide organizations with the scalability needed for today and tomorrow’s workloads, with new Cloud Data Management capabilities which include faster, automated copies to object storage and the use of S3 Object Lock to ensure that data is protected against threats such as ransomware, insider threats, and malicious admins.”

Veeam Availability Suite v10 extends Veeam’s leadership in comprehensive Cloud Data Management, providing advanced protection for any application, any data, across any cloud.

V10 delivers new capabilities that bring simplicity, flexibility, and reliability, enabling businesses to achieve the following:

Modernize and simplify the protection of large file shares and file servers with powerful NAS backup.

Keep business running with the next-generation Instant Recovery engine, and Multi-VM Instant Recovery for disaster recovery from massive data center outages.

Broader platform and ecosystem support including new, advanced capabilities for Linux, HPE Primera and HPE StoreOnce, Nutanix AHV, PostgreSQL, MySQL and more.

“HPE is redefining storage for our customers and we need partners who understand the journey toward digital transformation depends on data and intelligence,” said Jim Jackson, Chief Marketing Officer, Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

“With Veeam, we ensure the critical data needed to accelerate business is safe and readily available to customers at all times. We are thrilled that Veeam now supports HPE Primera and offers enhancements for HPE StoreOnce so customers’ data is always available, recoverable and protected.”

This latest release continues Veeam’s support for Microsoft Cloud services including integration with Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup for Azure.

“The support for Cloud Copy mode to Azure Blob storage in Veeam Availability Suite v10 makes it easy for customers to eliminate the need for on-premises storage, reduce costs, and more quickly achieve the 3-2-1 rule for data protection by instantly copying data to off-site storage in Azure, said Tad Brockway, Microsoft corporate vice president for Azure, Storage, Media, and Edge.

“Data is of paramount importance to our business and Veeam plays an equally important role in managing and protecting our data. With the power of efficient data management capabilities, Veeam protects our revenue streams by eliminating the risk of data loss.

With the new Veeam Availability Suite v10 redefining data availability with a single intuitive approach, we are confident of achieving fast, flexible, and reliable protection and recovery of all applications and data, on-premises or in the cloud.
