Our entire virtual environment of servers are on Veeam Data Platform which is about 14. We also have 2 physical servers on Veeam Data Platform. We actually had a lot more on physical until we decided a virtual environment was cheaper and easier to run.
- Reduced Downtime and Faster Recovery
- Scalability Without Major Reinvestment
- Complexity for Smaller Teams
We've had Veeam Data Platform before I've even started in my position but we always needed a backup solution and I have seen no reason to switch from Veeam Data Platform. Plus the increase of Ransomware is incredibly high in this day of age, we have to protect our data in a timey manner to avoid the risk of education loss.
Veeam Data Platform enables cloud-based disaster recovery by replicating critical workloads to a secondary cloud region or by using cloud object storage to recover on-demand. Veeam Data Platform’s cloud integration has allowed us to move from a traditional backup mindset to a flexible, cloud-ready data protection strategy. We now protect and recover workloads regardless of where they are housed on-prem or in the cloud with manageable cost control, and efficiency
We do not use this part of the product.
Veeam Data Platform offered a more user-friendly interface and a faster uptime for data repopulation. Plus no software hacks reported was a bonus.
