I was not with [...] when they selected Veeam Data Platform so I can only speak on experience with other backup platforms. The option to create back up copy jobs does things that no other vendors offered at the time. The built-in option of offloading back ups to S3 is groundbreaking, and again, …

Cloud Capabilities

We have greatly benefited from the option to offload to the cloud. When you think of air-gapped backups, and the manual work involved in rotating tapes or physical servers, you can imagine the time savings. No more taking servers off-line for security purposes with the introduction of immutability.

Number of Workloads Protected

Approximately 150 workloads are protected by Veeam Data Platform. This was expected as we knew how many VMs were deployed in that region. We have six regional VMware clusters in Japan, Taiwan, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Singapore that all use Veeam Data Platform. We are also looking at …

Cloud Capabilities

We use the cloud as a secondary copy of the backups to ensure that we have off-site copies in case our primary storage completely fails. This is easy and effective. It also provides an immutable copy of the data that cannot be encrypted during a ransomware attack. It also can be throttled.

  • Instant Recovery has many great use cases
  • Capacity tier offloads with immutability
  • License portability, remove license from protected workload and add back later if needed.
  • Support could be stronger on first touch. The need to escalate and wait has been experienced through the years. Reluctance to come “take a look” and the time it takes to gather logs is extensive.
