Fujitsu and Veeam Partner To Offer Simplified Backup and Recovery
News facts:
– Simplified backup operations for virtual machines ensures the
highest availability for business–critical infrastructures – on premises and in the cloud
– Extended partnership delivers Cloud Data Management from Veeam
for the Fujitsu ETERNUS storage product line
Fujitsu and Veeam
are focusing on simplifying backup and recovery for customers running mission-critical virtual machines in the data center. This new partnership delivers increased availability of data and
faster recovery from disasters and unplanned system downtime. This combination of Fujitsu ETERNUS, the industry’s widest
choice of storage infrastructure, and Veeam Availability Suite, the leading
cloud data management solution, will help hundreds of thousands of companies
keep their businesses running.
With most
businesses’ activity moving toward fully-virtualized computing environments, the need to protect their
virtualized environments has put additional focus on the backup and fast
recovery of their virtual machines. Fujitsu and Veeam
are teaming up to greatly simplify and automate the process of backing up and
restoring virtual machines in live production environments — both on premises and in the cloud — which, until now, has been a hit-or-miss process for many customers.
Olivier
Delachapelle, Head of Category Management at Fujitsu EMEIA, says: “In today’s mainly-virtualized
environments, virtual machines dedicated to specific tasks have become part of
business-critical infrastructure. A cohesive backup strategy means leveraging regular snapshots of
your virtual machine environment, so that in the event of any unplanned
failure, downtime can be reduced to a minimum. By teaming up with Veeam, Fujitsu is lowering the cost of data
protection for virtual machines by simplifying backup operations for production
VMs, helping ensure the highest availability of business-critical data as well as providing for faster data recovery.”
Ken Ringdahl, VP,
Global Alliance Architecture Group for Veeam stated: “The combination of Veeam Backup and Replication with Fujitsu
ETERNUS storage arrays accelerates storage snapshots and data recovery
capabilities, helping enterprises to reduce data loss without overloading
production systems. This approach not only enhances data
protection but also provides high-speed backup and
restore for virtual machines without compromising performance.”
With the availability
of the Veeam storage snapshot plug-in for Fujitsu
ETERNUS AF all-flash and ETERNUS DX hybrid storage,
customers can create complete VM backups and replicas from snapshots as often
as they like with little to no impact on their production environment. This advanced data protection capability bridges the gap between
critical recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) storage targets1. This guarantees the high availability of data at all times and
ensures business continuity in the event of a disaster.
The partnership is
the next step for Fujitsu and Veeam in working together: The vendors previously teamed up to integrate Veeam Data Mover
software into the Fujitsu ETERNUS CS800 S7 data protection appliance to
increase backup and recovery performance – and into the ETERNUS LT140 and LT260 tape systems to deliver
hassle-free tape archiving for virtual
machine data, which is required for compliance and long-term data retention.
With the addition
of Veeam storage snapshot software plug-in for the Fujitsu ETERNUS DX and AF, customers can make sure
data is always available, protected and actively working for businesses from
production to archive.
Pricing and availability
The Veeam storage
snapshot software plug-in for Fujitsu ETERNUS DX and AF
arrays is free and available for download today.
1 Recovery point
objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) are crucial parameters for an
effective disaster recovery or data protection plan. The former relates to the length of downtime before the business
is damaged, while the latter relates to the time it takes to restore data after
a disaster. Each business will have different
levels based on their budget, resources and application priority.
