Veeam Software announces several new highlights in regards to Amazon Web Services
(AWS), including general availability of NEW Veeam Backup for AWS v2.
Veeam has also achieved AWS Storage Competency status, further
validating that Veeam solutions are proven to help solve customer
challenges and meet business goals.
Veeam Backup for AWS, originally
launched in Q4 2019, delivers AWS-native Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
(Amazon EC2) backup and recovery that is both cost-effective and secure, available exclusively in AWS Marketplace in free, paid and bring your own license (BYOL) editions. Veeam Backup for AWS is
capable of being implemented as a standalone AWS backup and disaster
recovery solution for AWS-to-AWS backup, or integrated with the Veeam
Platform, delivering seamless cloud mobility and data portability for
backup, recovery and migration to, from and within any environment -
cloud, virtual or physical.
"Veeam
R&D efforts for future releases have always been built off of
feedback from our strong user and partner community, and this latest
release of Veeam Backup for AWS is no
different," said Danny Allan, CTO and Senior Vice President of Product
Strategy at Veeam. "We continually remind our users and partners that it
is the customer's responsibility to make sure their data is protected
and secure, whether it is stored on-premises or in the cloud - and even
more so now when data holds more value than ever. In Q1 of 2020, Veeam
had increased the data protected in Amazon Simple Storage Service
(Amazon S3) by more than 20x year-over-year (YoY). Our recent releases
in AWS Marketplace, as well as our AWS Storage Competency achievement,
not only strengthens our commitment to be a leader in Cloud Data
Management, but in further extending Veeam-powered data protection to
AWS customers."
Veeam Backup for AWS has seen fast adoption among users looking to protect their workloads on AWS. The latest release of Veeam Backup for AWS includes numerous enhancements and new capabilities most requested by customers and partners, including:
- AWS
disaster recovery to protect against regional outages by replicating
and recovering Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshots across
AWS accounts and AWS Regions.
- Integration
with the newly released changed block tracking (CBT) API to shrink
backup windows as well as compute and storage costs.
- Application
consistent snapshots and backups of running Amazon EC2 instances
without shutting down or disconnecting attached Amazon EBS volumes.
- Public RESTful API to securely connect external applications and workflows to integrate with and manage Veeam Backup for AWS.
Veeam's
status as an Advanced Technology Partner in the AWS Partner Network
(APN) has been elevated with the recent achievement of AWS Storage
Competency status. Veeam has demonstrated significant success in helping
customers evaluate, implement, and use the techniques and technologies
of effectively moving, using and protecting data to and on AWS,
including archive, backup and restore, business continuity/disaster
recovery, and primary storage.
Veeam
continues to listen to customer and partner feedback and has additional
AWS-native backup and recovery enhancements planned for Veeam Backup for AWS and
Veeam Backup & ReplicationTM in coming months. With even easier data
protection and portability across on-premises and AWS cloud
environments, Veeam customers will have unparalleled choice and
flexibility of where data lives for availability and cost-efficiencies.
