Coraid and Veeam Team Up

Coraid Inc. has formed a technology alliance partnership with Veeam Software.

The combination of Coraid EtherDrive SAN storage and Veeam Backup & Replication, enables customers to achieve backup and disaster recovery goals, with a five-to-eight times price/performance advantage over FC-based solutions.
 
"Server virtualisation drives dramatic changes in storage requirements, forcing companies to think carefully about their architecture and the ROI of legacy storage networks," said Carl Wright, executive vice president of worldwide sales and business development at Coraid. "The combination of Coraid and Veeam offers an easy-to-use, cost effective backup and recovery solution designed specifically for the dynamic nature of virtual machines."
 
"We are excited to add Coraid as a Premium technology alliance partner verified on Veeam Backup & Replication v6," said Rick Hoffman, Vice President of Worldwide Alliances and Channels at Veeam Software. "This partnership will provide customers a more cohesive solution which combines the fastest, most reliable backup on the market with a leading data storage provider. The end result is a unified solution that enables high performance backup to meet any client environment."
 
Veeam Backup & Replication provides recovery of virtualised applications and data for both VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments.

Deployed with Coraid storage, customers are able to:

• Backup, store and replicate data to an offsite location for disaster recovery
• Shrink the size of file backups using built-in source-side deduplication
• Recover or run an entire VM, individual file or application-item from the same image-level backup
