Veeam annonceert vPower en Backup & Replication versie 5.0

VEEAM TAKES VMWARE BACKUP TO A NEW LEVEL

Veeam Announces vPower and Veeam Backup & Replication 5.0, Demonstrates New Breakthrough Technology at VMworld 2010

VMworld, San Francisco, August 30, 2010 – Veeam Software, innovative provider of VMware data protection, disaster recovery and VMware management solutions for virtual datacenter environments, is demonstrating its new vPower™ technology for Virtualization-Powered Data Protection™ this week at VMworld 2010.

vPower leverages virtualization and Veeam innovation to overcome the limitations of traditional backup and provide fast, flexible and reliable recovery for disasters both large and small. The new patent-pending vPower technology, previously announced by Veeam in March, includes the ability to run a virtual machine (VM) in production or in an isolated virtual lab directly from a compressed and deduplicated backup file on regular backup storage.

vPower is the force behind the upcoming release of Veeam Backup & Replication™ v5. With five patents pending, v5 with vPower offers these five industry firsts:

• Instant VM Recovery: Restore an entire virtual machine from a backup file in minutes. Users remain productive while IT troubleshoots the issue.  
• U-AIR™ (Universal Application-Item Recovery): Recover individual items from any virtualized application, on any operating system, without additional backups, agents or software tools. Eliminates the need for expensive special-purpose tools and extends granular recovery to all applications and users.
• SureBackup™ Recovery Verification: Automatically verify the recoverability of every backup, of every virtual machine, every time. Eliminates uncertainty and sets a new standard in data protection.
• On-demand Sandbox: Create test VMs from any point in time to troubleshoot problems or test workarounds, software patches or new application code. Eliminates the need for dedicated test labs and the overhead that extra VMware snapshots place on VMs.
• Instant File-level Recovery for any OS or file system: Recover an entire VM or an individual file from the same image-level backup. Extends instant file-level recovery to all VMs.

Veeam Backup & Replication v5 also includes new Instant Indexing of Windows guest files, “tape-friendly” synthetic full backups, and enhanced deduplication and faster off-site replication.

“Data protection and recovery are in the midst of major change,” said Chris Wolf, research vice president at Gartner. “We now expect archived data to be accessible and just as dynamic as our virtual infrastructures. Tomorrow’s leaders in data protection and recovery are those who intelligently leverage virtual hard disk archives to satisfy all recovery tasks from a single protection operation. This includes instant image recovery, file and object recovery, user self-service recovery and rich verification capabilities.”

“vPower is Virtualization-Powered Data Protection that combines the power of virtualization and Veeam’s innovation,” explained Ratmir Timashev, Veeam President and CEO. “With vPower we are taking VMware data protection to a new level and making things possible that were not possible before. In addition, vPower is our breakthrough technology, as well as a set of unique industry-changing capabilities enabled by this technology. vPower allows IT to provide much better service at a much lower cost. We believe the unique capabilities that we are introducing provide the major reasons to virtualize more enterprise applications and accelerate virtualization within enterprise environments.”

NETEX Optimization Software for New Veeam Backup & Replication Customers

 NetEx®, the leader in WAN optimization software, and Veeam Software, innovative provider of data protection, disaster recovery and systems management solutions for VMware virtual datacenter environments, announced today they will partner to supply free HyperIP® software to customers who license Veeam Backup & Replication for VMware.

This exclusive agreement entitles Veeam users to a free one-year subscription to the 2Mb/s HyperIP (VM edition), a virtual appliance that improves the performance of moving large amounts of data across a WAN. Solution provider partners will be given the opportunity to deploy HyperIP with Veeam Backup & Replication beginning immediately. New customers who license Veeam Backup & Replication after July 1, 2010 are eligible for two complimentary 2Mb/s one-year subscriptions of HyperIP. The program will be available through July 2011.

The partnership addresses the challenges of varying network configurations and conditions that can be common in virtualization and cloud computing environments, including packet loss, latency, and jitter.

“NetEx and Veeam have a common goal of ensuring performance and reliability of VMware data protection and disaster recovery,” said Ratmir Timashev, Veeam President and CEO. “We know that no matter how good the backup and replication software, network conditions can sometimes result in less-than-ideal results for customers, so we are happy that NetEx will provide its software-based WAN optimization solution to our customers in this exclusive free offer.”

“Time and time again, we have proven how HyperIP extends the functionality of VMware, and Veeam’s backup and replication product provides an excellent platform for demonstrating this to a new market,” said Robert MacIntyre, Vice President, Business Development and Marketing at NetEx. “When data, or virtual systems, must be transferred between locations as in a DR test scenario, users will find that HyperIP delivers a significant performance boost.”

NetEx and Veeam will collaborate in the development of joint support materials and technical resources, such as end user documentation and training.

Veeam Backup & Replication is the first enterprise-ready solution that combines backup and replication in a single product for fast recovery in VMware ESX and ESXi environments, delivering near continuous data protection (CDP) at a cost that is 80 percent lower than traditional CDP. Veeam Backup & Replication combines the power of virtualization and the innovation of Veeam to provide Virtualized-Powered Data Protection, or vPower.  Veeam’s patent-pending technology enables instant VM recovery, universal application-item recovery and automated recovery verification.

NetEx’s award-winning HyperIP is a software-only, virtualization-ready WAN optimization solution, ideal for moving large data sets across WANs securely, swiftly and seamlessly. Patent-pending technology accelerates and optimizes industry-leading data replication and file transfer applications by aggregating multiple data replication applications over a shared connection while mitigating the inherent network latency and network disruption for long-distance remote TCP data transmissions. The full version of HyperIP supports long-distance data transfers at up to 800 Mb/s, the highest performance of any WAN optimization solution on the market, and 25 to more than 100 percent faster than competitive products. Transfer speed is optimized for the full range of data management applications, including backup & remote replication and business continuance/disaster recovery (BC/DR). NetEx offers HyperIP for cloud infrastructures as a software-only configuration, enabling customers to quickly deploy the acceleration software into their existing VMware infrastructures.

Veeam rapporteert RECORD Resultaten Q2

Veeam boekt recordomzet in tweede kwartaal

Veeam, leverancier van data protection-, disaster recovery en systems management-oplossingen voor virtuele datacenteromgevingen die op VMware draaien, heeft in het tweede kwartaal van dit jaar uitstekende resultaten geboekt. De omzetgroei bedroeg 166% ten opzichte van de dezelfde periode vorig jaar en de inkomsten uit nieuwe licenties stegen met 145%. Met deze resultaten werden de verwachtingen wereldwijd overstegen. In het tweede kwartaal kozen maar liefst 2330 nieuwe klanten voor de software van Veeam.

De hoogtepunten van het succesvolle tweede kwartaal op een rij:

- Klanten: het aantal klanten nam de afgelopen drie maanden met gemiddeld 750 per maand toe. Daardoor bevat het totale klantenbestand op dit moment wereldwijd 12.000 klanten.
- Geografische uitbreiding: Veeam opende nieuwe kantoren in onder meer Italië, Canada, Scandinavië, Finland en IJsland. Ook werd een salesteam aangesteld dat zich richt op de samenwerking met partners in Latijns-Amerika.
- Nieuwe producten:
- Veeam lanceerde in april, tijdens de Microsoft Management Summit 2010, Veeam nworks PRO Pack for VMware™. Het nieuwe PRO Pack biedt bedrijven die Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) gebruiken geautomatiseerde probleemoplossing binnen hun VMware-omgevingen. Doordat de intelligente techniek achter Veeam direct geïntegreerd is in Microsoft System Center Operations Manager en Virtual Machine Manager, stelt Veeam bedrijven in staat hun productiviteit te verhogen en hun serviceniveaus hoog en de kosten voor training en support laag te houden. Daarnaast zorgt het ervoor dat bedrijven een hoger rendement halen uit de investeringen die ze hebben gedaan in Microsoft System Center.
- Veeam Reporter 4.0, voorheen Veeam Reporter Enterprise, biedt één oplossing waarin zowel de zakelijke als de technische gebruiker bedrijfsrapportages, verandermanagement en capaciteitsplanning voor zijn virtuele omgeving kan uitvoeren.
- In juni lanceerde Veeam versie 5.5 van het nworks Management Pack™ (MP) for VMware. Naast diverse verbeteringen die met name interessant zijn voor bedrijven met mission critical VMware-opstellingen, bevat het softwarepakket het nieuwe PRO Pack.
- Ook kondigde Veeam in juni Veeam nworks Smart Plug-in (SPI) for VMware 5.5 aan tijdens de HP Software Universe. Deze nieuwe versie biedt VMware-monitoring en -beheer in HP Operations Manager. Ook voorziet de nieuwe versie in verbeterde schaalbaarheid en prestaties en een hogere beschikbaarheid en load balancing. Daarnaast bevat het een nieuwe deployment toolkit met daarin een online calculator die de virtuele omgeving analyseert en het aantal objecten bepaalt dat gemonitord moet worden.

Onze samenwerking met VMware, Microsoft en HP heeft bijgedragen aan de positie die Veeam momenteel inneemt in de markt,” aldus Ratmir Timashev, President en CEO van Veeam. “De verwachting is dat we wereldwijd blijven groeien. Steeds meer grote organisaties kiezen bij het beheer van hun virtuele infrastructuren en het beschermen van data voor de software van Veeam. Onze intensieve samenwerking met de channel partners betaalt zich terug in goede resultaten in alle regio’s over de hele wereld.
