NetApp Adding Veeam Availability Solutions to Price List

Veeam Software, Inc. announced that NetApp, Inc. will be adding its Availability Solutions to the NetApp global price list.

Customers can purchase complete Veeam and NetApp solutions directly from NetApp and its resellers in a single transaction, enabling enterprises to leverage both 24.7.365 availability and IT simplicity.

The combination of Veeam’s Availability solutions with NetApp E-series, AltaVault, ONTAP, All-Flash FAS, and hybrid cloud solution offerings, help organizations simplify IT operational management, lower costs, and attain recovery point and RTOs of seconds – not hours and days, per legacy solutions – for all applications and data.

This agreement will equip 4,000 NetApp resellers globally to deliver NetApp/Veeam integrated Availability solutions.

“We are excited to expand the success of our NetApp alliance from product integration to a full resell agreement that includes NetApp Data Fabric solutions,” said Peter McKay, co-CEO and president, Veeam. “We are committed to our partner ecosystem and adding Veeam to the NetApp price list simplifies the process for our partners to deliver highly differentiated solutions that accelerate business transformation and drive the highest levels of performance, efficiency and 24.7.365 availability across multi-cloud environments. We are confident our Availability solutions will enhance the NetApp Data Fabric experience for our joint customers.”

Maximize uptime and ensure faster
and comprehensive workload recovery
Users are able to leverage NetApp snapshots in tandem with Veeam’s availability and recovery capabilities to minimize data loss and downtime while implementing a more cohesive backup, recovery and DR strategy. This results in maximum application uptime, faster item and VM-level recoveries, increased IT efficiencies and bridges the gap to achieving availability for the always-on enterprise.

Customers receive following benefits
from purchasing Veeam solutions from NetApp:
• One stop shop: purchase a complete NetApp and Veeam solution via a single NetApp purchase order
• Validated solution: the assurance that the Veeam/NetApp solution has been validated, and will deliver optimal business benefits

“We are very excited to take our partnership with Veeam to the next level with our new reseller agreement,” said Henri Richard, EVP WW field and customer operations, NetApp. “Veeam’s deep integration with ONTAP drives high levels of availability and IT simplicity across our broad portfolio of hybrid cloud data services.”

“Veeam has excelled at developing a strong ecosystem of solution partners. This tie-in with NetApp extends that ecosystem to primary storage vendors and will make it much simpler for NetApp customers to buy, integrate and deploy Veeam’s data protection and availability suite with the confidence that it is supported by both companies,” said Phil Goodwin, research director, data protection, availability and recovery, IDC.

“With the growing number of storage options available for business customers, it can be a challenge to adopt a unified approach for data protection. Industry partnerships such as the one between Veeam and NetApp show that tight integration between vendors is attainable without limiting customer choices or compromising on features and capabilities,” said Steven Hill, senior analyst of storage technologies, 451 Research.

“Veeam also integrates fully with VMware and NetApp. They work as one unit, so restoring VMs from NetApp storage snapshots is simple and straightforward with Veeam-no special training is required. The Veeam interface is intuitive and easy to use,” said Russ Trainor, VP of IT, Denver Broncos Football Club.
