As a result, IT admins can make backups as often as they want throughout the day, even for I\/O intensive virtual machines (VMs).

With the additional enhancement of disk to tape in Veeam Backup & Replication v7, I look forward to eliminating our costly, complex, expensive and extremely ineffective legacy tape backup solution. While the company reduces costs, I save time and prevent headaches as an administrator. Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SharePoint has already proven invaluable even in beta mode. I performed a restore in 10 minutes that would normally have taken hours. Experience has given me full confidence in Veeam Backup & Replication. To me the biggest value of Veeam is that they take the complex and make it simple. It just works!\u201d<\/p>\n \n \n Ratmir Timashev, President and CEO, <\/strong>Veeam Software<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n \n \u201cData protection for too long has been a thorn in IT\u2019s side because it has what we call the \u20183C\u2019 problem of physical backup: limited capabilities, complexity and cost. Veeam provides organizations with powerful, easy-to-use and affordable Modern Data Protection that\u2019s Built for Virtualization. With this latest version of our flagship software, we\u2019re once again disrupting existing markets by including capabilities that others sell as expensive, separate components. Veeam Backup & Replication v7 removes obstacles to offsite backup with Built-in WAN Acceleration and brings to life the full potential for data protection of the virtual infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n \n \n Jason Buffington<\/strong><\/a>, Senior Analyst for Data Protection, Enterprise Strategy Group<\/strong><\/p>\n \n \u201cWhether considering multi-site protection or BC\/DR preparedness, one of the great blockers is the inability to move enough data across a WAN, affecting RPO\/RTO goals and ultimately preventing most companies from realizing their protection goals. With continued innovations like optimized WAN transmission and its approach in leveraging hardware snapshots, Veeam continues to find new areas of evolution for their data protection solution. Couple those with tape support and granular\/self-service restore capabilities and it is easy to see why Veeam continues to dominate mindshare in its segment by providing impressive recovery options for their customers.\u201d<\/p>\n \n \n Robert Amatruda<\/strong><\/a>, Research Director Data Protection and Recovery, IDC <\/strong><\/p>\n \n \u201cProtecting the ever-increasing data volumes in virtual data centers is a high priority for any IT organization. Veeam Backup & Replication v7 provides IT professionals a comprehensive set of new tools to safeguard their data in VMware and Hyper-V environments. \u201d<\/p>\n \n \n Christian Kelly, Director of Operations, <\/strong>Xantrion<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \n \u201cWe use Veeam Backup & Replication as part of our hosting and managed service offerings.
