Nexsan, a leading independent provider of disk-based data
storage systems, has formed a Technology Alliance Partnership with Veeam
Software, an innovative provider of data protection, disaster recovery and
management solutions for virtual datacenter environments. Together, Nexsan and
Veeam will deliver storage, backup and replication solutions which enable
highly scalable, advanced data protection optimized for hypervisor-independent
cloud computing.
Nexsan simplifies storage management in a virtual
infrastructure (VI) with disk arrays built on a flexible and efficient
architecture capable of being tightly integrated into a broad range of
operating environments. Veeam combines backup and replication in a single,
cohesive solution. Veeam Backup & Replication v6 offers a unified approach
to data protection along with capabilities that enhance reliability such as
streamlined failover and real failback.
“Backup and recovery continues to be a top-of-mind
challenge in growing data centers,” said Victoria Grey, SVP, Marketing, Nexsan.
“In today’s complex world of virtualized infrastructure, ensuring management
simplicity, performance and data safety is of paramount and growing concern.
This is a core value of Nexsan and Veeam. Together we are delivering
one of the highest performing, most secure, easily managed, and cost effective
backup solutions available for virtual operating environments.”
“Veeam is glad to have Nexsan as a Premier Technology
Alliance Partner verified on Veeam Backup & Replication v6,” said Rick
Hoffman, Vice President of Worldwide Alliances and Channels at Veeam. “The
partnership will enable hypervisor-independent cloud environments with the high
performance data protection solutions they need and the simplified management
and efficiency they desire.”
Nexsan E-Series SAN and E5000 NAS storage systems were
recently tested with Veeam Backup & Replication v6 by openBench Labs which
identified that the paired solutions provide the following benefits:
- Tight
integration with multiple APIs to leverage productivity features developed by
third-party vendors
- Minimization
of SAN infrastructure costs for SAN scaling
- Maximization
of storage density and reliability
- Backup and
restore for Hyper-V and vSphere VMs using changed block tracking
- Automation of
incremental backups for near-lossless Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs)
- Utilization of
SSD Drives with instant recovery for sub 5-minute Recovery Time Objectives
(RTOs)
- Verified
application recoverability
- Compressed and
de-duplicated data across any disk backup process
"Today, senior line-of-business executives expect IT
to meet a recovery time objective (RTO) that is measured in hours and a
recovery point objective (RPO) that is close to lossless," said Jack
Fegreus, Managing Director of openBench Labs. "For CIOs looking to assuage
the concerns of line-of-business executives over business continuity, the
advanced functionality of Instant Recovery in Veeam Backup & Replication v6
can be dramatically enhanced with the leading edge performance of Nexsan's
multi-tier storage systems to meet the most demanding RTO and RPO goals."
