Steadfast Adds Support for Veeam Cloud Connect

Steadfast (NoZone, Inc.), a provider of private and public cloud hosting, colocation, DR and managed services, offers offsite backup for Veeam Availability Suite using Veeam Cloud Connect.

The company is a Silver Veeam Cloud Provider (VCP), offering Veeam-powered backup and DR services for customers utilizing Hyper-V and VMware hypervisors, both inside and outside Steadfast’s data center facilities.

Offsite Backup With Veeam Cloud Connect: Steadfast adds support for Veeam Cloud Connect to its already expansive array of Veeam-powered offerings. Cloud Connect allows customers already utilizing Veeam onsite to push backups, backup copies and file copies to a secure cloud repository hosted in Steadfast’s data centers, allowing peace of mind knowing that backups are safe in a secure, offsite location. Cloud Connect allows full VM restores, VM disk restores and Windows guest OS file restores to be performed from the cloud repository, giving you a wide array of restoration options in the event of a disaster.

Intra-Data Center Backups: Customers who wish to, or already, host their Hyper-V or VMware environments with Steadfast can take advantage of Veeam Backup & Replication as well. Steadfast uses its data centers and internal network to build Veeam-powered solutions for backing up dedicated virtualized infrastructure. This ensures that customers incur no additional bandwidth cost, while delivering fast backup and restore speeds; downtime, already minimal, is further reduced, creating a powerful and reliable Steadfast experience.

Replication: Customers who are using Veeam onsite can opt to purchase an entire virtual infrastructure from Steadfast, hypervisor included, to replicate critical VMs or their entire virtualized environment to Steadfast. In this scenario, the onsite Veeam server pulls VM data from the onsite virtualized infrastructure, and replicates the data to Steadfast’s dedicated virtualized infrastructure. The result is a production-ready (warm or cold) DR environment, ready to spin up and deploy should a disaster befall the customer’s production site.

“We’re very excited to support Veeam Cloud Connect as another option we can provide our customers,” said Karl Zimmerman, founder and CEO, Steadfast. “Steadfast is always looking to incorporate the best new technologies in our product offerings, allowing us to build the most customized and efficient solutions to fill out our line of DR and BC options.“
