HPE and Veeam Introduce Data Protection Solutions to Deliver Higher Availability

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP (HPE) announced advancements in its data protection offerings with Veeam Software, Inc. support for Primera storage and enhancements to StoreOnce backup.

The two companies have partnered to protect customer data for the past decade, and this support for Primera, together with the just announced Veeam Availability Suite v10, ensures customers’ data is always available, recoverable and protected. In addition, StoreOnce with Veeam v10 delivers higher data availability by moving backup copies offsite for DR.

77^_%(2) of enterprises lack an effective data protection strategy, putting their business at risk. In a connected world, where everyone – and increasingly everything – shares data, businesses have the opportunity to turn all of it into value. However, ensuring data is always available and always protected can be complex and costly. Current legacy backup technologies struggle to manage and protect the expanding scope of data types and sources, expanding security threats, and the increasing need to support data across an edge to cloud environment. Together, the two companies enable customers to simplify data protection, remove cost and risk, and improve efficiency.

The integration of Veeam v10 with Primera provides customers with a backup and data protection solution. Powered by InfoSight, an AI for infrastructure, Primera redefines mission-critical storage by delivering simplicity, availability and performance. Primera provides 93% less time spent on managing storage ⁽³⁾, backed by a 100% availability guarantee. Together with Veeam v10 backup support, Primera customers are able to rapidly recover their data at its most granular level from storage snapshots, including virtualized environments.

“Veeam Availability Suite v10 is a new gen and industry leader of backup and protection, with capabilities that increase data availability, portability and extensibility,” said Danny Allan, CTO and SVP, product strategy, Veeam. “By leveraging full HPE Primera support with v10, businesses can harness the simplicity and reliable performance required for critical applications and data, empowering them to utilize intelligent data to elevate business value – a driving focus of both Veeam and HPE.“

“Data is at the heart of HPE’s edge-to-cloud platform-as-a-Service strategy. Enterprises that can distill intelligence from their data will be the ones to lead in their industries,” said Jim Jackson, CMO, HPE. “However, in order to utilize data to gain business insights, it needs to be readily available. Together, HPE and Veeam are helping enterprises accelerate their data’s value by ensuring it’s always on, always fast, hybrid by design, and delivers global intelligence.“
