VeeamBackup

because we have a centralized solution to manage data protection across platforms: Can integrate Veeam’s cloud-native products with Veeam Backup & Replication to have a single console to manage backups in multiple platforms.

Ok, we are biased 😊 but we have an amazing solution for AWS customers! Let's hear is folks!

Simplicity: Backup policies define what you want to happen and when you want it to happen. The product handles the rest.

because Veeam Backup for AWS is awesome :-D

@davidhill_co That is a fact !!!!!!

The Veeam Plugin for AWS allows you to have one pane to view and manage your backups

and it provides the capabilities to have a platform aware backup solution that integrates with existing compliance and security models

Reduce storage costs: Veeam allows you to create a storage plan that will allow for the most cost effective solution for your retention needs.

Intuitive simplicity are the two words that come to mind for me.

@clouddizzle and don't forget the inbuilt cost calculator that allows you to understand exactly how much your backup policies will cost you per month

Cost Calculator!!!!!! Our policies allow you to see a cost estimate of running the policy with the settings you choose even before you run it. This allows you to make smarter choices before paying up.

Yes indeed, our solution was built with cost effectiveness, security and scalability in mind, so you can eliminate the risk of data loss for all your AWS data while saving big

and you can always compare Veeam Backup with AWS built-in solution for backup, to realize what suits you the most

@davidhill_co exactly...It was such a good idea we said it at the same time ;)

Leveraging AWS native snapshots ensures the data will be backed up correctly

Can you give some specifics by Amazon service? Or are those benefits across the board?

For me its the ease of management. I can protect both cloud native and on prem without having to manage two different products

You can add your AWS storage as an external repository in your on premise Veeam backup Server

I will give a specific example. We have a feature that can compare a VPC backup to the current settings to let you know what if anything has changed. This allows you to easily see what changed and allow you to make smarter recovery decisions.

I also love the fact that we can take the exact VPC settings of one region and then restore them to another region so that you can create a mirror environment for test/dev.

Let me summarise the 4 key reasons to use #Veeam for better backup with your #AWS services: 1. simplification of backup, recovery and DR, 2. control of your costs, 3. you ensure security & compliance and 4. you can unify your cloud data management.

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

Welcome to crowd chat. Have fun everyone #veeambackup

To set the scene: #AWS provides a robust cloud platform for you to create and deploy apps without the burden of maintaining your own infrastructure. Your apps and data remain your responsibility to secure and protect. Let’s get started!
