Veeam to provide 2-in-1 backup and replication for multi-hypervisor environments
Microsoft Tech·Ed, Atlanta, May 16, 2011 – Veeam Software, innovative provider of VMware data protection, disaster recovery and VMware management
solutions for virtual datacenter environments, today announced at
Tech·Ed North America that it is adding support for Windows Server
Hyper-V and Microsoft Hyper-V Server to Veeam Backup & Replication™,
the leading data protection solution for virtual environments used with
more than 1.5 million virtual machines (VMs) worldwide.
Veeam Backup & Replication provides cost-effective, easy-to-use
and comprehensive image-based data protection designed specifically for
virtual environments. By extending support to Hyper-V, Veeam is
providing:
- 2-in-1 backup and replication for Hyper-V:
Veeam’s solution includes replication, which provides near-continuous
data protection (near-CDP) and enables the best possible recovery time
and recovery point objectives (RTOs and RPOs).
- Changed block tracking for Hyper-V:
Veeam’s new hypervisor support includes technology for changed block
tracking to enable fast, frequent and efficient backup and replication
of all VMs, including those running on Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV).
- Built-in deduplication and compression: Included at no extra charge, these capabilities minimize consumption of network bandwidth and backup storage.
“Our customers and partners are increasingly asking about Hyper-V
support,” said Ratmir Timashev, President and CEO of Veeam. “With 2-in-1
backup and replication, changed block tracking and built-in
deduplication, Veeam will provide Hyper-V administrators with a complete
solution for virtualization-based data protection and disaster recovery
that is easy-to-use and cost-effective. Soon, organizations using
Hyper-V will be able to achieve RPOs and RTOs with reduced cost, effort
and risk.”
“A multi-hypervisor environment is a reality for many
organizations,” said David Greschler, Director of Virtualization and
Cloud Strategy for Microsoft. “Veeam adds its backup and replication
expertise to Microsoft Hyper-V, enhancing the ability of organizations
to manage their multi-hypervisor environment in a consistent and
cost-effective manner.”
“Recent ESG research found that more than 70% of virtualization
survey respondents cite the use of more than one hypervisor,” said
Lauren Whitehouse, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. “Having a
single solution that’s designed to back up, replicate and restore
multiple virtual environments increases reliability, speed and
management effectiveness.”
“Multi-hypervisor environments are quickly becoming the norm, not
the exception, and that poses serious management challenges to IT
organizations,” said Ashish Nadkarni, Senior Analyst and Consultant at
Taneja Group. “IT managers need to select virtualization management
solutions, including backup and replication solutions, that can work
with more than one hypervisor.”
Availability
Veeam Backup & Replication for Microsoft Hyper-V is being
demonstrated this week in booth #715 at Tech·Ed and will be available to
customers in the fourth quarter of 2011.
