Veeam Software has announced a new upgrade to its flagship product, Veeam Backup & Replication, as well as a number of additional product enhancements that enable cloud-native capabilities. Veeam Backup & Replication v11a is the replacement for Veeam Backup & Replication v11, which was launched in the first quarter of this year. Over 300,000 people have downloaded the most advanced data security solution for Cloud, Virtual, Physical, SaaS, and Kubernetes workloads since its initial release.
Veeam Backup & Replication v11a continues to innovate and expand, with an emphasis on expanding its ecosystem of integrations. Expanded native protection for AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, Veeam backup repository integration for Kubernetes, and centralised management for IBM AIX and Oracle Solaris protection are among the new features added to Veeam’s platform as businesses migrate to the cloud. Veeam Backup & Replication v11a adds even more platform support, including Microsoft Windows Server 2022, as well as new features that help maintain data security no matter where it is stored.Finally, enhanced Continuous Data Protection (CDP) adds support for VMware VSAN and VMware Virtual Volumes (vVOLs), allowing RPO, RTO, and SLA targets to be met with a single integrated solution independent of primary storage technology.
“The cloud is not ‘new’ for most organizations,” said Danny Allan, CTO & SVP, Product Strategy at Veeam.
Further said, “According to our recent Veeam Cloud Protection Trends Report, more than 40% of organizations have been using production services in the cloud for more than 24 months.Data is moving, IT platforms are changing, and Veeam continues to evolve to support these moves and deliver the most simple, flexible, reliable and powerful backup solutions. These latest product updates and enhancements will further enable our 400,000+ customers to protect, recover and manage their data wherever it resides.”
Veeam offers cloud-native support for the top hyperscale public clouds – AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud – through a single platform for hybrid/multi-cloud systems, giving users unrivalled choice and simplicity. Veeam Backup & Replication v11a (and any standalone, cloud-specific service) adds new features and capabilities that help enterprises speed cloud adoption by ensuring data is securely secured, protected, and managed from a single interface.
Enterprise customers are taking advantage of containers’ flexibility and power, but fragmented solutions make backup, recovery, and insight into container backups difficult. Customers of K10 and Veeam will be able to leverage current backup infrastructure investments thanks to the new integration introduced as part of Veeam Backup & Replication v11a. Kasten K10 v4.5 will be able to direct backups of Kubernetes clusters using VMware persistent volumes to a Veeam Backup & Replication repository, where the backup’s lifecycle can be managed and additional Veeam features and capabilities can be used.

Veeam customers can accomplish recovery objectives with confidence utilising a versatile solution natively integrated with RHV, thanks to quick recovery for RHV VMs.
Veeam expands its revolutionary fast recovery functionality to more hypervisors with Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV v3. Customers may now restore image-level backups made by ANY Veeam product to a Nutanix AHV VM for rapid disaster recovery of any workload, including cloud, virtual, and physical workloads. Nutanix AHV 6.0 or later is required for this capability.
Veeam continues to make significant advancements in server backup with new platform support and capabilities that simplify deployment and management.

Customers may avoid data loss scenarios by using new automated protection groups for new IBM AIX and Oracle Solaris assets deployed to the data centre.
