VeeamON: Veeam Previews Future Product Releases and Functionality Strengthening Single Platform to Protect All Data in Hybrid Cloud

Veeam Software, Inc. hosted day two of its annual user conference, VeeamON 2022, the Modern Data Protection Conference of the Year, by delivering sought-after insight into its product roadmap through the remainder of 2022.

t provided a select preview of the future, showcasing innovations around upcoming updates to its single platform to protect all data across all environments – cloud, virtual, SaaS, Kubernetes and physical.

Expected 2H22, the company demonstrated innovations of cloud-native solutions (for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud) and SaaS offerings (Microsoft 365 and Salesforce), as well as deeper integration of Kasten by Veeam K10 for Kubernetes and its anticipated Backup & Replication v12.

“We help more than 450,000 customers all over the world protect their data from malicious actors, and eliminate down time and data loss,” said Danny Allan, CTO. “With Veeam, you own, control and securely backup and recover your data anywhere in the hybrid cloud. Veeam enables organizations to confidently move to the cloud, avoiding lock-in with cloud mobility. This is the definition of Modern Data Protection. Our consistent innovation and product-led growth are on full display at VeeamON 2022 as we continue to set the very highest product standards and respond to customer demands for redefining security, achieving resiliency and delivering future-ready solutions.”

Backup & Replication v12
With more than 850,000 downloads of Backup & Replication v11, the company has continued innovation and expansion of its feature set with the anticipated Backup & Replication v12. It unveiled v12 at VeeamON 2022, previewing more capabilities in cloud, security and enterprise focus areas.

The company is further hardening the capabilities customers need in today’s ever-changing IT ecosystem, including the capabilities below:

• Additional cloud accelerated features including direct writes to object storage and cloud-based agents

• Immutability everywhere provides control and protection for faster ransomware recovery and protection from cyberthreats

• Additional enterprise applications support and innovations ease day two operations and optimize for efficiency at scale

• Centralized visibility and management of Kubernetes data protection with the Backup & Replication plug-in for the Kasten by Veeam K10 V5.0.

“Against a backdrop of increased cyber threats, exponential data growth and relentless cloud adoption, protecting data and systems at scale, wherever they live, has become a must-have for organizations (of all sizes) around the world,” said Christophe Bertrand, program director, ESG Research. “Our research shows that there are significant data protection disconnects – and therefore data loss risks – when it comes to cloud-resident data, applications, containerized services, and as-a-service platforms. That’s why this new release of Veeam V12 is significant: it not only builds on their proven platform but expands the ability to reduce business risk through improved data and systems security recoverability at scale.”

Backup for Microsoft 365 v7
In addition, the firm demonstrated monitoring and reporting for the upcoming Backup for Microsoft 365 v7, expected later this year. As the Microsoft 365 backup market leader, with over 11 million users under paid contract, this version will include enterprise monitoring and reporting capabilities as a result of integration with Veeam ONE, helping to keep systems and infrastructure running smoothly thanks to built-in intelligence. Backup for Microsoft 365 v7 provides:

• Total visibility: Single view of all Microsoft 365 backup architecture and components

• Proactive management: Real-time alerts to quickly resolve data vulnerabilities

• SLA confidence: Detailed reports provide peace of mind and protection

Backup for Salesforce
Following the success of its Microsoft 365 product, Veeam has provided the first sneak peek into the firm’s Backup for Salesforce, a much sought-after addition to its portfolio. With the ability to back up in the cloud and on-premises, this offering eliminates the risk of losing Salesforce data and metadata.

Key highlights include:

• Control and flexibility: Own your data, avoid backup and storage lock-in and deploy your backup environment anywhere you choose

• Salesforce-native backup and recovery: Purpose-built for Salesforce using native APIs. Restore Salesforce records, hierarchies, fields, files and metadata.

• Quickly recover from data loss: Protect against human error, integration issues and other common Salesforce data loss scenarios

“I’m excited to show these new innovations for the first time to our customers and partners at VeeamON 2022,” added Allan. “The fact that Veeam moved more data in the first quarter of 2022 than we did in all of 2020 proves that organizations need better intelligence, data mobility, an ecosystem of collaboration and a hybrid world. We understand the power that data has to solve real-world challenges, to change the course of history and its impact on individuals. To hold that data for hundreds of thousands of organizations all over the world is a responsibility we are honored to be trusted with.”

All solutions demonstrated at VeeamON will be generally available later in 2022.
