Veeam, #1 Leader in Data Resilience, Enhances Veeam Data Cloud Vault
Veeam Software, the #1 leader by market share in Data Resilience, announced major updates
to Veeam Data Cloud Vault, a fully-managed, secure, and cloud-based storage
service that leverages the power of Microsoft Azure and simplifies storing
backups of mission critical data and applications offsite for unmatched
business resilience. This new release, developed in collaboration with
Microsoft, introduces two new editions with low-cost, all-inclusive pricing
that eliminates common forecasting and bill shock challenges for
customer-managed cloud storage. Furthermore, a new enhancement to Veeam Data
Vault is the integration with Veeam Data Platform, making it simpler for
customers to streamline immutable, offsite backup for Veeam users. Veeam Data
Cloud Vault will be showcased at Microsoft Ignite, November 19-22 in Chicago.
Despite the benefits of cloud
storage, including simplified security and the ability to accommodate growing
volumes of data, many organizations still face obstacles. These include
understanding and forecasting costs, improved efficiency, and acquiring the
necessary expertise for effective configuration and management.
Veeam Data Cloud Vault addresses all
of these. Veeam collaborated closely with Microsoft to develop this enhanced
offering integrated with Azure Blob Cool Storage. It simplifies data storage
management for backups and eliminates unpredictable cloud cost models,
providing users with the confidence to securely store backup data in a
Veeam-managed, logically air-gapped, always-immutable and encrypted offsite
location for enhanced protection and reliable recovery, when needed. Veeam
Vault also helps organizations minimize the duration of downtime through fast
restores to both on-premises and Azure VMs.
"Given the value of data in a
digital world and the growing risks to that data including cyber-attacks,
organizations need a reliable and cost-effective path to data resilience,” said
Niraj Tolia, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Veeam. “Veeam Data Cloud Vault
provides secure and hassle-free cloud storage, eliminating management
challenges and unpredictable pricing, and reinforces our strategic partnership
with Microsoft. Our commitment to easy, secure, and predictable cloud storage
for backups, further solidifies Veeam as the #1 global leader in Data
Resilience. Veeam Data Cloud Vault introduces a new groundbreaking feature –
predictable, low-cost cloud storage pricing – catering to the needs of Veeam
users. With two new editions and seamless integration with Veeam Data Platform,
this release further strengthens the partnership between Veeam and Microsoft by
leveraging the power, scale and durability of Microsoft Azure.”
Aung Oo, Vice President, Azure
Storage at Microsoft added, "Integrating Veeam’s Vault offering with the
Veeam Data Platform simplifies the process for customers to safeguard their
data and infrastructure. Given the increasing threats that customers must
defend against, making data protection more accessible is crucial. By building
Veeam Data Cloud Vault on Azure, with its diverse regional options, customers
can meet their data residency and compliance needs. The combination of Azure’s
secure cloud foundation and Veeam’s strengths in business continuity and
disaster recovery (BCDR) provides an excellent end-to-end, anti-ransomware
solution for customers."
Veeam Data Cloud Vault follows a Zero
Trust Data Resilience (ZDTR) approach that expands Zero Trust principles to
include an organization’s backup environment. With Veeam Data Cloud Vault,
organizations can align to the 3-2-1-1-0 rule and protect against cyberthreats.
This philosophy forms the foundation of a solid data protection strategy and
data resilience initiatives, ensuring the integrity and availability of
backups.
New key benefits of Veeam Data Cloud
Vault include:
· Security and Durability: Veeam Data Cloud Vault storage-as-a-service
(STaaS) ensures data confidentiality, integrity and availability through Zero
Trust storage architecture that is always immutable, encrypted, and air-gapped.
With the new release, Veeam Data Cloud Vault now offers up to 12 nines of
durability that protects against entire data center failure. Veeam applies
best-in-class security measures to protect organizations against cyber threats,
and in particular threats against their backup repositories.
· Predictability: Veeam
Data Cloud Vault offers predictable, flat, per-TB pricing on two editions of
cloud storage, inclusive of read/write requests, and egress fees. This enables
organizations of all sizes to more predictably manage and control costs, while
receiving all the benefits of secure, cloud-based storage.
· Simplified: Veeam
Data Cloud Vault minimizes cloud and security skills gaps with on-demand,
pre-configured and fully managed cloud storage built on Azure, directly
integrated with the Veeam Data Platform interface. This includes the ability to
procure, provision, and monitor Veeam Vaults directly from Veeam Data Platform,
as well as the ability to directly restore to on-premises and Azure VMs.
“Businesses face constant security
threats, along with a need to balance their cyber resiliency goals with
budgeting realities. In speaking with clients and based upon our own
experience, one of the biggest challenges with using Public Cloud
infrastructure is the unpredictable billing that can result,” said Russ
Fellows, Head of Labs for The Futurum Group. “Veeam’s Data Cloud Vault helps
companies enhance their security posture while also providing them with simple,
all-inclusive, consumption-based pricing, making it a great option for
businesses of all sizes.”
Veeam Data Cloud Vault brings
predictable cloud storage pricing to the market across two new editions:
Foundation and Advanced. Starting at $14 per-TB, these editions align closely
with customer use cases for cloud storage backup, offering a cost-effective and
secure-by-default alternative to DIY solutions.
