Cons

  • Data backup sometimes take high CPU usage with large VM hat could be more adpative.
  • A centralised auto update function could help us to make endpoint easier
  • backup job scheduling option could be the best initiative in improvement.
  • Virtualized workloads
  • Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
  • Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
  • NAS filers
  • NAS filers
  • Enterprise UNIX servers running Solaris & IBM AIX
  • Enterprise applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA
  • Automating test restores to validate recoverability
  • “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
  • Accessing data for data mining or re-use of backup copies via API
  • Failover or recovery scripts/plans for orchestrated recovery
  • Automating test restores to validate recoverability
We have three in house application that is protected by Veeam two cloud platforms.around 50 workloads (including virtual machines, physical servers) are protected by Veeam Data Platform.

The main reason for this growth is that Veeam proved to be highly reliable and scalable, so we gradually expanded its coverage to include more systems
  • Veeam delivered possitive ROI by providing automatic data backup and reducing downtime

Our previous solution provides us a slow data back up with frequent failures and more recovery times this drawback triggered us to move to Veeam solution.
with Veeam,backups have become faster, more consistent, and easier to manage, with significantly improved recovery speed and data reliability compared to our earlier experience.
