IBM
IBM Cloud has automated both Veeam Availability and Cloud Connect for our customers. Customers have Veeam Availability integrated into their Virtual Data Centers in a highly resilient and secure manner. VCCR is also enabled for customer replication and migration into their Virtual Data Centers. Veeam infrastructure is fully distributed across within a Multi-Zone Region, while utilizing V10 to provide a secondary copy in a different region. We have deployed all of Veeam in a Highly Available manner, that if the DC where the Veeam Portal becomes unavailable, VMware will automatically recognize it and activate it in an available DC.
iland
iland Test Drive is an automated cloud service trial
platform that enables Veeam customers and partners to easily evaluate Veeam’s
Backup and Recovery software with iland Secure Cloud BaaS and DRaaS. Test
Drive was designed to reduce the time and effort needed to deploy and
validate Veeam solutions in a fully-functioning, VMware-based cloud
environment. With just a few clicks, customers can experience the actual
look, feel, features, and capabilities of Veeam and iland Cloud services
together, as well as ensure iland’s performance, management, security, and
cost metrics meet business expectations, before committing to a contract.
