VeeamBackup

Why is #Veeam for AWS so popular with our customers? Go!

I say it before but I will say it again...ease of management. We have customers with thousands of instances across hundreds of accounts and they can protect all of this with ONE product

They enjoy flexibility and control Veeam provides, at least this is what I hear the most

Veeam helps customers avoid being locked in to a particular Service

Veeam can also be used as a migration tool

I work with customers that have left other products because they feel that the approach veeam takes with our policies and data portability allows them to easily manage their data protection and migration much more efficiently.

@CloudRestore Can you elaborate on that?

#multicloud ;) If a customer is leveraging multiple clouds they can use our product to restore or migrate data from one cloud to another.

Sure. Veeam allows you to create backup copy jobs of your data out of the cloud storage, you can then restore your backups locally or to certain other providers.

You'd be amazed how many people want to have a copy of AWS data somewhere in Azure/GCP too :)

For speed purposes you can even do instant recovery of your backups and have them back up and running in minutes.

We have great customer stories that show how the combination of Veeam and AWS protects critical data and applications, ensures business operations, improves disaster recovery and business continuity, and saves significant time and money.

Let’s look at Azzurri Group, a big Italian food business in the UK. They used Veeam Backup & Replication, VMware vSphere, and Amazon S3.

Customers love the multiple options for File level recovery. Being able to chose from providing a recovery portal or restoring directly to the instance is another loved feature.

A major win for Azzurri Group was that Veeam reduced data recovery time from days to minutes. Key outcomes: Veeam protects data required for BI analytics, Provides data recovery in minutes, minimizes downtime, automates and orchestrates BC and DR testing.

@veeam_uki @clouddizzle How about Cross-Account protection? Customers love the fact that they can use a dedicated backup account to protect their data outside their production account

Another example is Maritz, who also saw a stunning reduction in recovery time.They used Veeam for AWS for Amazon S3 and other solutions. They backed up several PB of data across more than 1,000 VMs.

@clouddizzle It also follows the security best practices recommendations from AWS

@bestfriends was another customer who was able to save alot of money by using Veeam and AWS to protect their data. In fact you can see me present with them here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p7rKS1ZGCA

What about data accessibility and protection by Veeam and AWS? Why is Veeam so key to AWS customers?

Indeed @clouddizzle, for this pet sanctuary, budgets are so crucial, too. Veeam for AWS manages to save them money that can be used elsewhere: The $42,000 saved by eliminating the colocation facility was used to purchase another data lake in Amazon S3.

Customers want the best in cloud and backup software. :) But i may be a bit biased

By the way, what's the pandemic effect here? What are your customers doing differently this year?

It has created a much bigger awareness of online everything.

More and more customers are moving to the cloud due to the pandemic due to the national lockdowns and the inability to get access to physical resources. As a consequence ransomware attacks are increasing due to the misconfiguration of security policies

wearing masks. ;) But seriously there has been a huge shift in the industry and more and more people are using cloud and getting out of their offices and datacenters. So being able to protect data in the cloud natively is key.

The pandemic also has created more awareness of protection in every aspect of life including your data.

100% true! Now is a good time to re-evaluate your backup solutions.

@cloudrestore tell us more, must be interesting from the service provider POV

@cloudrestore Also more Work from home means more and more data is being accessed remotely. So having that data protected and secured is very important.

We have had to become more flexible in our daily lives dealing with this pandemic, so we expect more flexibility in our Backup solutions. Veeam provides that flexibility

A little fact from our recent study: Modern data management can help unleash this data, driving business goals faster. Backup can no longer be just backup.

Indeed, ultimately, upgrading means more than just a new backup solution — you will be driving innovation. This is also key for AWS customers. https://www.crowdchat.net/s/8682y

because of the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, it is the responsibility of the consumer to ensure their data is secured and protected, whether it is IaaS, PaaS or SaaS. https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/shared-responsib...

AWS is a great platorm but it does not provide Enterprise backups and equally important support for Backups and Restoration which is crucial in times when you really need it like after a disaster.

And another reason would be multi-cloud. With each platform having its own tools and interfaces requiring operators and administrators to learn different interfaces to achieve data protection objectives. Veeam provides a familiar approach at them all.

Data is your responsibility regardless of the platform you use. You must always protect your data, it is the crown jewel of any business today

Ransomware unfortunately can strike anywhere

AWS defines a fine line between what they offer (and responsible for), clearly focused on data centers' durabilty and services' availability, not the customer data itself.

to put it even more simply, the cloud isnt protecting your data so you must.

Just like on-premises, your applications and data need to be protected to overcome any kind of data loss such as accidental deletion, #cybersecurity threats, ransomware, outages and more.

With all the issues around ransomware and malware attacks, ensuring your data is safe today, tomorrow and yesterday has never been more important. You cannot rely on a vendor to provide this security for you

Veeam is, of course, a member of the AWS Partner Network (APN).

Mobility is another reason, being able to move your data outside of the cloud when you want is vital.

Dustin, should we also mention compliance?

@AndrewZhelezko For sure, being able to store data for long periods of time in more cost effective storage is key. Perfect example

I can't also stress enough the Mobility aspect

Great, all great reasons to go beyond basic backup and recovery! Thanks all.

Ensuring compliance for your industry is key to a successful cloud deployment. Data retention but also security requirements must be adhered too. It all comes back to the shared responsibility model

@CloudRestore It reminds me of those JD wentworth commercials but with data. ITs my data and I need it now
