Overland Storage and Veeam have teamed together to provide best-ofbreed data protection solutions. It can be a challenge to decide the best way to backup a virtual environment. By implementing Overland Storage disk products along with Veeam Backup and Replication, you can easily enable rapid recovery from events like backup interruptions and data loss.
Business Needs and Challenges Virtualization is a critical component within today’s Information Technology infrastructure. Backup and Recovery of a virtualized environment has become more important than ever. As such, the need to implement a disaster recovery plan to protect business information and core technology platforms is an increasing priority for many businesses to remain operational in the unfortunate event that a disaster occurs. In today’s business, having a robust disaster recovery plan is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Given the high probability and variety of events that cause outages, including natural disasters and man-made events, a disruption to business systems is not a question of “if”, but “when”.
Technical Challenges Administrators often find that they are unable to reliably backup and recover virtual machine data in all the ways they desire. They are either stuck doing full recoveries of the entire virtual machine, or using traditional backup schemes that provide file-level recoverability, but do not allow for full virtual machine recovery. When disaster strikes, you may only need to recover certain files or databases, or you may need to recover an entire virtual infrastructure. With disk space requirements being large and IT budgets being small, finding a solution that is easy to implement and manag,e as well as robust and cost-effective, can seem like an impossible task. The need to have storage that is flexible and highly available as the primary storage from the virtual machines, but also cost effective enough to support a high capacity backup scheme. These are difficult challenges to overcome.
Veeam Solution Veeam Backup & Replication is built specifically for virtual environments to provide fast backup and recovery for virtual machines running on both VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V. With a single license from a unified console, you can support your entire virtual infrastructure with industry-leading features such as instant file level recovery and streamlined VM recovery, scalability, 2-in-1 backup & replication, built-in de-duplication, centralized management and much more.
