Veeam Backup & Replication v7 With WAN Acceleration

Veeam Software, Inc. announced Veeam Backup & Replication v7, taking data protection to the next level with two market disrupting innovations: Built-In WAN Acceleration and Backup from Storage Snapshots.
 
Up to 50x Faster Offsite Backup
with Built-In WAN Acceleration
Built-In WAN Acceleration, which was developed by Veeam and optimized specifically for Veeam backup files, enables automatic transfer of backups to offsite locations up to 50 times faster than by using regular file copy.

 
This removes the need to purchase and deploy a general purpose WAN acceleration appliance or acquire additional network bandwidth for offsite backups.
 
Backup from Storage Snapshots with HP
to Improve RTO and RPO
The second new capability, VMware Backup from Storage Snapshots, has been developed in partnership with HP and uses HP StoreVirtual VSA, HP StoreVirtual (LeftHand, P4000) or HP StoreServ (3PAR) to improve RPO while greatly reducing stress on the virtual infrastructure. As a result, IT admins can make as many backups as often as they want throughout the day even for I/O intensive VMs.
 
Seven Market Changing
and More than 50 Additional Features
Veeam Backup & Replication v7 includes another seven market changing and more than 50 new featureshttp://go.veeam.com/v7 and improvements, many of which have been recently announced, including Veeam Explorer for SharePoint, vCloud Director Integration, Self-Service Recovery of VMs and Guest Files, and Native Tape Support.
 
New Enterprise Plus Edition and Promotion

In addition to the Free, Standard and Enterprise Editions of Veeam Backup & Replication, it has created a new edition, Enterprise Plus, which includes the two innovations Built-In WAN Acceleration and Backup from Storage Snapshots.

Ratmir Timashev, president and CEO, Veeam, said: "Data protection for too long has been a thorn in IT’s side because it has what we call ‘3C’ problem of a legacy solution: limited Capabilities, Complexity and Cost. Veeam provides organizations with powerful, easy-to-use and affordable Modern Data Protection that’s Built for Virtualization. With this latest version of our flagship software, we’re once again disrupting existing markets by including capabilities that others sell as expensive, separate components. Veeam Backup & Replication v7 removes obstacles to offsite backup with Built-In WAN Acceleration and brings to life the potential for data protection of the virtual infrastructure."
 
In addition, the firm is offering additional value at no additional cost to existing Enterprise Edition customers and to those who purchase the Enterprise Edition before July 1, 2013. These customers can upgrade for free to the Enterprise Plus Edition through Nov. 1, 2013.
