VeeamがMicrosoft Teamsバックアップ、AWS保護を深める

バックアップおよびディザスタリカバリ市場をリードし、ガートナーのマジッククアドラントで3年連続で1位を獲得した後、Veeamは本日のデジタルVeeamON 2020カンファレンスで「Act I」の最終ページをめくり、「Act II」を発表しました。ハイブリッドクラウドに配置し、Microsoft Teams、Amazon Web Services（AWS）、およびNetApp OnTap向けの多数の製品にスターを付けます。After leading the backup and disaster recovery market and carrying the No. 1 spot in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for three consecutive years, Veeam turned the final page on “Act I” at its digital VeeamON 2020 conference today and announced “Act II,” which takes place in the hybrid cloud and stars a trove of products for Microsoft Teams, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and NetApp OnTap. With more customers deploying hybrid cloud environments in AWS, Azure, IBM and Google, Veeam’s second act initiates an acceleration towards a more hybrid experience for users that meets the needs of the modern digital business.  “The data center is not going away. And the reason for that is the cloud is not a charity. So our No. 1 goal is to have data protection management for all environments,” Danny Allen, Veeam’s CTO and SVP for product strategy, told SDxCentral.  However, most organizations don’t realize that moving production workloads from on-premises data centers into public clouds like Microsoft Azure and AWS doesn’t come with native backup.  Allen says the company has been set up “extraordinarily well” for its Act II because it supports “the full breadth of segments of geographies and capabilities.” Veeam said 27,000 people registered for the two-day virtual conference. Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 version 5 expands on the hybrid cloud realms, claiming to overcome any cloud data loss. It is the company’s fastest-growing product, and it has been downloaded by more than 120,000 organizations representing over 12 million user mailboxes.  Allen attributes the product’s popularity to the increase in usage of Office 365 — not adoption — simply because everyone is working from home there is a market demand to quickly restore and find documents and files from within Microsoft Teams in particular, considering there is no built-in backup under Microsoft.  The latest version of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 adds native backup and recovery to Microsoft Teams through native APIs to protect data, channels, settings and tabs. This enables backup of both Teams data and the granular recovery of an entire 365 group, team membership, conversations, files, and tabs.  General availability for version 5 of the 365 backup product is planned for the third quarter. Veeam released Veeam Backup for Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company’s first cloud-native service, last December.  Six months later, version 2 is generally available with AWS disaster recovery to protect against regional outages by replicating and recovering Amazon Elastic Block Store snapshots across accounts and regions. In a market that is becoming increasingly crowded, Veeam has integrated version 2 with the latest changed block tracking (CBT) API to shrink backup windows as well as lower compute and storage costs.  “One of the things that one else is doing in this industry is telling you before you implement a policy like snapshot replication, what that’s going to cost you, and moving things across availability zones actually has a financial cost to it and we designed that  uniquely within our platform,” Allen added.   It also allows for application-consistent snapshots and backups of running Amazon EC2 instances without shutting down or disconnecting attached Amazon EBS volumes.  “We recognize that for the cloud platforms, it’s not just moving from on-premises to the cloud, it’s having a delivery cadence that is in alignment with the delivery cadence of cloud platforms, which is much faster,” he said.  Veeam plans to release version 3 next month.  Veeam Availability Orchestrator (VAO) version 3 includes full recovery orchestration support for NetApp OnTap snapshots, which Allen said fills a gap in the market and meets the needs of a specific customer segment.  In version 3, users can select from a range of capabilities to meet necessary levels of disaster recovery planning and compliance by automatically testing, dynamically documenting and executing disaster recovery plans.  The new Storage Orchestration Plans feature enables customers to orchestrate failover on NetApp storage to a secondary recovery site.
