Veeam Launches Data Cloud, Data Protection Service Platform

Veeam® Software has introduced the innovative Veeam Data Cloud. This cutting-edge solution, built on Microsoft Azure, combines the industry’s most reliable platform with the accessibility and convenience of a cloud service. The Veeam Data Cloud now offers backup-as-a-service (BaaS) for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure, providing robust resilience and harnessing advanced data protection and security technologies within a user-friendly interface.

Anand Eswaran, CEO at Veeam, highlighted the significance of this advancement, citing the findings of the Veeam Data Protection Trends Report 2024, which revealed that 88% of enterprises are highly inclined to adopt Backup as-a-Service (BaaS) or Disaster Recovery as-a-Service (DRaaS) for their production servers. With Veeam’s unparalleled expertise in data protection and ransomware recovery, coupled with its leadership in Microsoft 365 backup solutions, the company is now extending these trusted capabilities to Microsoft Azure, delivering them as-a-service through the Veeam Data Platform. This new offering streamlines backup operations management while ensuring cyber resilience and reliability.

The cloud-native design of Veeam Data Cloud, integrated with the compatible data platform of Microsoft Azure, offers optimal protection for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure data right out-of-the-box, driven by policy-driven simplicity. Built on Zero Trust principles, the architecture leverages Azure Blob Storage isolated from production environments, ensuring continuous versioning and maintenance to keep backups secure and readily available for swift recovery. This all-in-one service encompasses backup software, infrastructure, and storage, reducing costs and simplifying management for businesses.

John Annand, Principal Research Director at Info-Tech Research Group, praised Veeam’s commitment to technology excellence, noting that Veeam Data Cloud eliminates the need for highly experienced professionals to fully leverage its capabilities, allowing them to delegate tasks and focus on other priorities. This flexibility enables businesses to deploy workloads wherever necessary, rather than confining them to a single safe haven.
