Veeam took the complexity out of legacy backup and replication for virtualized environments long ago with our Availability solutions,” said Andy Vandeveld, VP, global alliances, Veeam. “Veeam and Cisco have been working together for years on ‘meet in the channel’ validated solutions, and this is the next logical step in the evolution of the relationship: delivering an availability solution directly to enterprise customers and service providers on high-performance hardware from Cisco that is pre-configured and optimized by Avnet. By providing fast, flexible, and reliable recovery of virtualized applications and data, our combined technologies help enterprises overcome the challenges of maintaining 24x7x365 availability.

The Availability solution for UCS leverages company’s Backup & Replication Enterprise Plus software and either Cisco C240 or Cisco C3260 for a complete data availability solution. The joint solution approach simplifies the solution design, sizing, configuration and purchase process, allowing Avnet partners to deliver Veeam-powered availability based on Cisco’s storage density C-Series rackservers built for performance, scalability and manageability.

In the always-on era, enterprises are faced with the challenge of continuous operations and data availability,” said Satinder Sethi, VP, data center solutions engineering, Cisco. “As enterprises modernize their data centers, they need a new approach to managing risk and increasing data availability. Together, the Cisco UCS platform and Veeam Availability software help customers realize the potential of virtualization and converged infrastructure by minimizing risk, decreasing downtime and easily adapting to business changes.

“The new Veeam Availability Solution for Cisco UCS offers our partners a great solution, improving a customer’s ability to quickly recover critical data and applications in the event of an unexpected loss,” said Phillip Privett, VP, Cisco solutions business unit, Avnet Americas. “Our combined technical teams have fully integrated these solutions to give our partners options for a wide range of IT environments – those from small businesses to large corporations. With these pre-developed solutions, our partners can simplify the installation process, allowing the faster deployments and lower operational costs most customers want.

Veeam and Cisco together are an ideal solution for enterprises modernizing their infrastructures and those adopting converged and hyper-converged infrastructures,” said Jason Buffington, principal analyst, ESG. “The Veeam Availability Solution for Cisco UCS leverages the flexible virtualization protection and recovery features of Veeam, with hardware that is also optimized for both data protection and server virtualization. Enterprises can modernize their data protection as they modernize their infrastructure.

iland Internet Solutions Corporation, an enterprise cloud hosting provider with global datacenter locations, moved from SAN storage to UCS C3160 storage servers integrated with the Availability solutions. The move has enabled iland to restore VMs twice as fast, at a competitive price.

Veeam consistently pushes the envelope in bringing sophisticated backup and DR functionality to enterprises and cloud providers, alike, and that innovation has helped iland cement its position as a leader in BaaS and DRaaS,” said Justin Giardina, CTO, iland. “Through our continued collaboration with Veeam, Cisco and their extended channel partner networks, we’re able to ensure all companies have fast, secure and cost-efficient access to the advanced technology required to protect business against today’s pervasive threats.

The Availability solution for Cisco UCS is expected to be available Q3 2016 in North America through Avnet in various configurations ranging from 36TBs to 1PB.
