VeeamON 2024: ExaGrid Achieved Veeam Ready-Object Status

Exagrid Systems, Inc. announced during the annual VeeamON 2024 event that it has achieved “Veeam Ready-Object” status, verifying that Veeam can write to ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage as an S3 object store target, as well as the capability to support Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 using S3 directly to ExaGrid.

“ExaGrid continues to enhance its integration with Veeam, strengthening our partnership, and increasing the value that the combined solution of ExaGrid and Veeam provides to our customers,” said Andreas Neufert, VP of product management, alliances, Veeam. “As the #1 global leader in Data Protection and Ransomware Recovery, Veeam values ExaGrid as one of our Technology Alliance partners. ExaGrid adding support of S3 and for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 supports Veeam’s mission to keep businesses running and continuing to enable cyber resilience for our 550,000 customers.“

ExaGrid has already been recognized as a “Veeam Ready-Repository” for many years, and has offered advanced integration for Veeam users, supporting a number of Veeam features to optimize backup and restore performance, scalability, and longer-term retention due to advanced data de-dupe, including: the integrated ExaGrid-Veeam Accelerated Data Mover and Veeam Fast Clone for fast synthetic fulls, restores and VM boots; full support of Veeam Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR) with ExaGrid’s scale-out architecture; integration with Veeam SureBackup to perform recoverability testing; and ExaGrid’s combined de-dupe which further deduplicates Veeam deduplicated data by a factor of 7, providing storage (and cost) savings for longer-term retention; making the combined solution of ExaGrid and Veeam well suited for enterprise environments.

ExaGrid is a Diamond Sponsor of VeeamON 2024, held June 3-5 in Fort Lauderdale, FL and online.

“We are also pleased to announce our newest integration with our key technology partner, Veeam. ExaGrid is an object store target for Veeam using the S3 protocol and now supports M365 backups direct from Veeam. ExaGrid has also earned ‘Veeam Ready-Object’ status, in addition to our ‘Veeam Ready-Repository’ for de-dupe storage status, further solidifying our partnership and the value we offer to organizations who are looking for the best in data protection,” said Bill Andrews, president and CEO, ExaGrid. “We are very excited to announce this during VeeamON 2024, as a proud Diamond sponsor of this year’s conference which is centered on the ‘Radical Resilience’ that Veeam provides to thousands of organizations worldwide.“
