![]() If you do not have that urgent need for the emergency button then Veeam is much much cheaper and a valid solution. Veeams replication simply replicated the virtual machine and if needed manually fire them up at the DR site. Best used with Array based replication with an array SA installed (although I do also use VMware replication as a hybrid) SRM gives you the "emergency" button that you press and everything pops up your DR site. SRM is a much more hard core solution then Veeam replication. Comparing the two you are asking about replication for DR from one datacenter to a protected site: Veeam is worth knowing about for the enterprise's industry.I have both VMware SRM and Veeam. Veeam executives would also point out that they provide a platform and are working with partners to support their computing environments, storage systems and applications rather than trying to do everything for everyone. One executive mentioned the company is, in hockey terms, trying to be where the puck is going, not where it has been. If asked, I'm sure executives at Veeam would point out that they are targeting the exciting and growing part of the enterprise data center and that the other computing environments are well supported by other availability products today. They do, however, offer a solution that customers rave about for their X86-based workloads. Since most major enterprises still use a broad selection of systems supporting a range of operating systems, Veeam can't offer a complete solution. Furthermore, Veeam hasn't yet announced support for environments using operating system virtualization and partitioning, aka containers. If the enterprise has deployed mainframe, midrange Unix or other single-vendor computing environments, Veeam can be part of a total solution, but it can't be the only product utilized. That means the company offers "always on" computing for the enterprise-if the enterprise is totally reliant upon those two operating systems. What the company really does is focus on availability for Windows and Linux workloads regardless of whether they execute on a physical or virtual system on-premise or in the data centers of specific cloud computing suppliers. Almost every time I have a conversation with a Veeam customer, I hear at least one story, and often many stories, about how the company's products have "saved" them after a software, hardware, weather-related or other type of problem.Īvailability Suite v10 appears to have been designed to enhance the capabilities of the suite and bring its capabilities ever closer to providing continuous protection-which goes beyond a backup product that requires taking a snapshot of data from time to time to capturing all storage I/O traffic at a very low level.Īlthough the company makes broad statements about supporting the "always on enterprise," this is not entirely true. They always tell me about Veeam's focus on ease of use and reliability. Veeam products get rave reviews from clients I've talked with. It is clear that Veeam is tightly focused on data availability and helping its customers survive software, hardware and even power failures in certain areas. Snapshot analysis-Availability Suite v10 is good, but not complete, solution Extended Veeam "Always-On Cloud" Availability Platform: The platform delivers new universal storage API framework, adding IBM, Lenovo and Infinidat to Veeam’s ever-growing ecosystem of strategic alliance partners, which includes HPE, Cisco, NetApp, Dell EMC, Nimble and Exagrid. ![]() Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows: Previously announced and being made generally available today, this solution extends Veeam “Always-On Cloud” Availability Platform to public cloud and physical servers.Veeam Availability for AWS: The industry’s first cloud-native, agentless backup and availability solution designed to protect and recover AWS applications and data, helping enterprises reliably move to and manage a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environment.The company goes on to describe what's new: ![]() This includes broad cloud object storage support with Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, Microsoft Azure Blob and any S3/Swift compatible storage.
