Veeam Backup and Replication for Quantum D2D Backup Appliances

Veeam Software announced its Veeam Backup & Replication software has been tested and validated for interoperability with Quantum DXi Series network attached storage (NAS) backup appliances. Quantum and Veeam are actively engaged in joint selling opportunities to help customers address the complex challenges associated with deduplication in virtualized environments.

"Veeam is strategically focused on the virtualized server market, and with Quantum, our combined strengths offer customers a powerful, flexible solution for data protection and storage management in virtual server environments," said Rick Hoffman, Veeam Vice President, Worldwide Channels and Alliances. "We are very pleased to work with Quantum and to have our product certified on their hardware."

Veeam Backup & Replication has its own built-in deduplication and compression capabilities, and it can also be used in compatibility mode to write data to be deduplicated on Quantum’s purpose-built DXi 4500/6500/7500 disk-based backup appliances. The Veeam Backup & Replication GUI can be used to browse deduplicated data in the DXi NAS interface and restore full VMDK images as well as single files.

"Quantum’s DXi-Series deduplication appliances have typically provided customers with over 95% disk savings when storing backups from virtualized servers," said Peter Prinos, Quantum Senior Director of Global Alliances. "The certification of Veeam Backup & Replication software with our DXi-Series appliances enables us to offer a high-performance, high-value solution for virtual server data protection, deduplication and replication to a broader range of customers."

Veeam Backup & Replication features new vPower technology that leverages virtualization and Veeam innovation to overcome the limitations of traditional backup and provide fast, flexible and reliable recovery for disasters both large and small.
