Veeam Software hosted its annual user conference, VeeamON 2022, the Modern Data Protection Conference of the Year, by providing sought-after insight into its product roadmap through the remainder of 2022.
Veeam provided a sneak peek into the future, highlighting innovations related to upcoming updates to its single platform for protecting all data across all environments — cloud, virtual, SaaS, Kubernetes, and physical. Veeam demonstrated key innovations of cloud-native solutions (for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud) and SaaS offerings (Microsoft 365 and Salesforce), as well as deeper integration of Kasten by Veeam K10 for Kubernetes and, of course, the highly anticipated Veeam Backup & Replication v12.
“We help more than 450,000 customers all over the world protect their data from malicious actors, and eliminate down time and data loss,” said Danny Allan, CTO at Veeam. “With Veeam, you own, control and securely backup and recover your data anywhere in the hybrid cloud. Veeam enables organizations to confidently move to the cloud, avoiding lock-in with cloud mobility. This is the definition of Modern Data Protection. Our consistent innovation and product-led growth are on full display at VeeamON 2022 as we continue to set the very highest product standards and respond to customer demands for redefining security, achieving resiliency and delivering future-ready solutions.”
With over 850,000 downloads of Veeam Backup & Replication v11, Veeam has continued innovation and feature expansion with the highly anticipated Veeam Backup & Replication v12. Veeam unveiled V12 at VeeamON 2022 for the first time, previewing even more capabilities in cloud, security, and enterprise focus areas. Veeam is hardening the capabilities customers require in today’s ever-changing IT ecosystem, including the following new capabilities:
“Against a backdrop of increased cyber threats, exponential data growth and relentless cloud adoption, protecting data and systems at scale, wherever they live, has become a must-have for organizations (of all sizes) around the world,” said Christophe Bertrand, program director at ESG Research. “Our research shows that there are significant data protection disconnects – and therefore data loss risks – when it comes to cloud-resident data, applications, containerized services, and as-a-service platforms. That’s why this new release of Veeam V12 is significant: it not only builds on their proven platform but expands the ability to reduce business risk through improved data and systems security recoverability at scale.”
Furthermore, Veeam demonstrated advanced monitoring and reporting for the upcoming Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v7, which is set to be released later this year. The new version of Microsoft 365 backup will include enterprise-grade monitoring and reporting capabilities as a result of integration with Veeam ONE, helping to keep systems and infrastructure running smoothly thanks to built-in intelligence. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v7 includes the following features:
Following the success of its Microsoft 365 product, Veeam has released the first look at Veeam Backup for Salesforce, a much-anticipated addition to Veeam’s portfolio. The new offering eliminates the risk of losing Salesforce data and metadata by supporting backup in the cloud and on-premises. Among the highlights are:
“I’m excited to show these new innovations for the first time to our customers and partners at VeeamON 2022,” added Allan. “The fact that Veeam moved more data in the first quarter of 2022 than we did in all of 2020 proves that organizations need better intelligence, data mobility, an ecosystem of collaboration and a hybrid world. We understand the power that data has to solve real-world challenges, to change the course of history and its impact on individuals. To hold that data for hundreds of thousands of organizations all over the world is a responsibility we are honored to be trusted with.”
“The release of Veeam Backup & Replication v12 brings with it a host of notable features that the Middle East market has been waiting and asking for. Enterprises in the Middle East have shown a big appetite for adoption of Kubernetes and Container technologies and will welcome the v12 Kasten console integration. Couple that with the release of the additional cloud capabilities – of direct cloud object storage as well as the release of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v7, customers across the region will be quick to adapt the new release as it brings with it a host of business critical features,” concluded Claude Schuck, Regional Director, Middle East at Veeam.
