GEC NEWS WIREVeeam Software revealed their Availability Suite (VAS) 9.5 Update 3 (U3), to extend comprehensive data management and ensure Availability for all workloads—virtual, physical, and cloud—centrally managed via a single Veeam “pane of glass.” With this breakthrough release, enterprises can now replace legacy backup offerings, which have hindered business transformation for so long, and ensure Availability across their enterprise with a single, consistent platform.
“It is our top customer request, and today we are delivering that making Veeam Availability Suite 9.5 Update 3 the biggest release in Veeam’s 10-year history! In one, unified Veeam solution, customers can manage their entire environment – virtual, physical, or cloud – and ensure No. 1 Availability for any app, any data, any cloud” said Peter McKay, Co-CEO and President at Veeam.
“Veeam has made our life so much simpler as it provides a one-stop-shop for ensuring Always-On Availability, allowing us to get rid of inefficient legacy solutions. With Veeam, we have total assurance under one umbrella solution,” said Mike Conjoice, Technical Lead at Bupa Dental UK.
With this release Veeam is also including its Universal Storage API. As a result, in Veeam Availability Suite 9.5 Update 3, the company is able to add integration with IBM Spectrum Virtualize, extending Veeam’s storage snapshot integration capabilities to IBM Storwize and any SAN Volume Controller based storage arrays, as well as to the Lenovo Storage V Series. This expansion of Veeam’s strategic partnership with IBM is in addition to current strategic partnerships with HPE, Cisco, and NetApp.
“Veeam gives us the peace of mind of knowing that if anything does happen across our infrastructure, we are able to resume services in mere minutes. This a quantum leap forward in terms of performance compared to what we were used to, and I am glad we can now get rid of those antiquated solutions.” – Kevin Ragsdale, Director of IT for the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas
“As a customer, it is fantastic to see a company release features when they are ready, and ahead of schedule. Software vendors usually pitch updates as bug fixes, but [with Update 3] Veeam throws that out the window to make sure customers get new functionality as soon as possible, and deliver the tools we need when we need them.” – Matt Crape, IT Manager at C3 Group Canada
