Veeam and Exagrid Optimise Data ProtectionLondon, UK, Aug. 16, 2011 –/BackupReview.info/– Veeam Software, innovative provider of VMware data protection, disaster recovery and VMware management solutions for virtual datacentre environments, and ExaGrid Systems, Inc., a leader in cost-effective and scalable disk-based backup solutions with data deduplication, have joined forces to improve the recoverability of virtual machines (VMs). The integrated solution, which pairs Veeam’s industry-leading Backup & Replicationâ„¢ and ExaGrid’s unique landing zone architecture, provides fast backups and efficient data storage and retrieval. Organisations can instantly recover and run a VM directly from the ExaGrid appliance when the primary VM is unavailable. “The Veeam and ExaGrid engineering teams have worked together for the past year to make sure the two products work together in the most efficient manner possible,†said Rick Hoffman, Vice President of Channels and Alliances at Veeam. “We have fully certified the integrated solution so customers can deploy it with confidence and achieve outstanding and affordable data protection. While Veeam Backup & Replication is storage agnostic and can work with whatever system our customers choose, this combined solution provides exceptional value.†The ExaGrid landing zone, a high-speed cache on the ExaGrid appliance, maintains the most recent Veeam backups in their original formats. This technology and architecture, operating in tandem with Veeam Backup & Replication, means users can instantly recover and run an entire VM directly from ExaGrid’s disk-based backup system should the primary VM be unavailable. While most other deduplication products only retain a deduplicated copy, often resulting in limited functionality, ExaGrid’s architecture allows customers to fully leverage Veeam Backup & Replication’s Instant VM Recovery feature to minimise downtime and disruption. “Organisations realise that they need to back up and protect their virtualised applications while maintaining ready access to their data,†said Marc Crespi at ExaGrid Systems. “The ExaGrid disk backup with deduplication appliances provides a reliable, highly scalable and economical disk-based backup solution for Veeam Backup & Replication. This allows customers to achieve high availability of their virtualised environments, as well as recovery times measured in minutes, not hours.†“We were very pleased with Veeam for efficiently managing our VM backups prior to implementing ExaGrid, and are even more pleased to see the advantages of the two products tightly integrated,†said Brian Muir, Network/Systems Administrator at Hoffman Corporation. “We’ve benefited greatly from being able to move our Veeam backups off the SAN and onto the much more cost-effective ExaGrid disk backup system. In addition, our VM restores are very fast. When evaluating backup alternatives, we couldn’t find anything like ExaGrid and Veeam to meet our functional and budget needs that was also easy to manage and set up.†ExaGrid customers are also now able to download a free evaluation copy of Veeam Backup & Replication with any purchase of an ExaGrid disk backup with deduplication system.
