Columbus, Ohio, August 22, 2011 – Veeam Software, innovative provider of VMware data protection, disaster recovery and VMware management solutions for virtual datacenter environments, today unveiled major enhancements in Veeam Backup & Replication v6. With this new release, Veeam becomes the first vendor to deliver capabilities for image-based data protection that organizations have come to expect with traditional file-based backups, taking virtual data protection to the next level. The new functionality includes:
“With these enhancements, customers no longer have to choose between Veeam innovation and the features they have come to expect with file-level backups,” said Ratmir Timashev, President and CEO of Veeam Software. “Now they can get both from Veeam.”
Key among Veeam innovation is vPower — the technology introduced in Veeam Backup & Replication v5 that runs a VM directly from a compressed and deduplicated backup file in production or in an isolated lab, enabling these five industry firsts:
“Veeam Backup & Replication v5 has performed brilliantly for us, and we′re really looking forward to v6,” said Stephen Whiting, IT Manager at Adolfson & Peterson Construction. “We took advantage of Instant VM Recovery in v5 when our Lotus Notes Domino Server went down, halting email to more than 100 job sites around the country. With Instant VM Recovery, we had users back online in just a few minutes, and business continued as usual. “We didn′t think Veeam could get any better, but they continue to listen to their customers and once again outdid themselves with the new release. We′re especially eager to take advantage of the enhanced distributed architecture in v6, which will fully automate maintenance of the backup infrastructure in our seven regional offices.”
