  • Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
  • In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
  • In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
  • Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
  • License portability as your environment needs change
  • Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
  • “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)

  • Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
  • Tiering of backup data - on-prem, archive location, cloud

  • Built-in Veeam Explorers - not add-ons
  • Landscape sprawl - can be become quite large do to infrastructure requirements

  • Shortened our disaster recovery RPO and RTO
Driven by move from tape to disk-based backup. Better prepared for the current, and developing/future, conditions in IT.
We are using the cloud for air-gapped backups.
Well suited for most environments where good Cyber tools are also available. Built-in Cyber resiliency is one area that is lacking.
