Veeam Introduces Free System Center 2012 Management Pack 10-Pack

Veeam Software introduces the Veeam Management Pack 1 (MP) 10-Pack, a free System Center 2012 monitoring solution for VMware.

This offer is for new Veeam MP customers worldwide who use System Center 2012. Veeam also announces broad support for System Center 2012 to help customers manage and protect private clouds that include Windows Server Hyper-V, VMware or both.
 
The Veeam Management Pack 10-Pack is a functioning version of the MP that enables companies to:

• Protect investments in System Center with integrated VMware monitoring.
• Manage physical and virtual infrastructure from one console.
• Eliminate the cost of additional monitoring frameworks.

New MP customers using System Center 2012 can register for a free perpetual 10-socket license that includes one full year of maintenance and support.
 
Veeam’s Support for System Center 2012 includes:

• The MP, which works with System Center 2012 Operations Manager. Veeam will finalize testing for official support within 30 days.
• Veeam Backup & Replication v6.1, with expected availability in Q2 2012, will extend support for System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 to System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager. This will streamline discovery and ensure protection of Windows Server Hyper-V VMs managed by System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager.
• Veeam ONE v6 discovers the topology of a Windows Server Hyper-V virtual infrastructure through the System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager server. By querying the System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager server, Veeam ONE identifies the hosts and failover clusters managed by that server. The product will support System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager when testing is finalized.

Veeam’s commitment to System Center has helped build a relationship with Microsoft that includes:

• Active membership in the System Center Alliance
• Participation in the System Center 2012 Technical Adoption Program
• Installation of the Veeam MP in all Microsoft Technology Centers
• Attainment of Microsoft Gold competencies for both Virtualization and Systems Management

Ryan O’Hara, director of Program Management, Cloud and Datacenter Management, Microsoft Corp., said: "Microsoft and Veeam are dedicated to helping our customers manage their physical, virtual, and cloud datacenter assets. With the Veeam Management Pack, customers can connect the deep application insight of System Center 2012 with the additional management insights Veeam provides from VMware virtual infrastructures. This gives customers a deeper view of workloads and SLAs, across Windows Server Hyper-V and VMware systems, from the physical hardware, to the hypervisor, all the way into the application."
 
Ratmir Timashev, president and CEO, Veeam Software, said: "Many of our customers rely on System Center and can be assured they have the best combination of technology to monitor, manage and protect their IT environments that work seamlessly with System Center 2012. By offering the Veeam Management Pack 10-Pack, customers will be able to realize the benefits of Veeam and Microsoft technology working together."
