New addition to the Veeam Data Platform will be
showcased at VeeamON 2024 event, highlighting how it simplifies
data management and enables cyber resiliency
Veeam® Software, the #1 leader by market share in Data
Protection and Ransomware Recovery, today announced that Veeam will
deliver support for Proxmox VE. Support for this virtualization
platform has been a popular request from Veeam’s existing small and
medium-sized business (SMB) customers and service providers. Veeam
will showcase this new data protection capability live for the
first time during VeeamON 2024, taking place June 3-5, 2024, at the
Diplomat Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and online.
As organizations embrace new technology and evolve their
business, it is critical they can choose the business platforms and
applications optimized for their particular needs. This is at the
core of Data Freedom. Veeam enables organizations to protect, move
and recover their data from and to the platforms they prefer. Veeam
is committed to extending support for new platforms giving
customers freedom of choice. Following the recently launched
support for Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager, Veeam is again
extending the breadth of Veeam Data Platform, which provides data
security, data recovery, and data freedom to backup and use data
from anywhere without platform or cloud lock-in to soon also
include the Proxmox VE hypervisor. Veeam currently supports VMware
vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Oracle Linux
Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Virtualization, as well as AWS,
Azure and Google Cloud.
"When we talk with customers, one of their most common questions
is how they can move between their preferred platforms both in the
cloud and on-premises. It is why Veeam champions Data Freedom –
giving customers the ability to move to new platforms with the
peace of mind we provide through data protection and cyber
recovery," said John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer at Veeam. “This
introduction of Proxmox VE support extends our comprehensive data
management solution to address the challenges currently faced by
our customers as they struggle with hard decisions in order to keep
their data safe and protected, and their businesses running. As we
continue to advocate for data freedom and choice for our 450,000
customers, backup for Proxmox VE provides them with an additional
option for the tools and flexibility they need to optimize their
data management practices, enable cyber resiliency and accelerate
business growth."
Veeam Data Platform gives users even greater freedom of choice
to best fit changing business needs for both virtualization and
cloud. Key highlights of Veeam’s Proxmox VE support include:
- Immutable backups: Keep on-premises and cloud
backups of Proxmox VE VMs safe and protected from encryption by
ransomware, accidental deletions, or malicious destruction during
cyberattacks with storage-based immutability. Or, leverage native
support for tape and for rotated drives to achieve true airgap at
the lowest possible cost.
- Uncompromised backup performance: Powered by advanced
changed block tracking (CBT) integration and hot add backup mode,
Proxmox VE users can now enjoy faster and more efficient virtual
machine (VM) backups, minimizing disruptions from long-running
backups and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.
- Veeam BitLooker: By automatically excluding unused disk
blocks, such as those belonging to deleted guest OS files, this
intelligent feature significantly enhances backup performance while
conserving valuable storage space.
- Storage flexibility: Support for all Veeam Backup &
Replication® backup repository types including hardened
repositories and object storage, empowers customers to easily
create backup repositories from any storage that suits their
RTO/RPO requirements and budget.
- Freedom of full VM recovery: VMs from key virtualization
platforms such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V or public cloud
can be promptly restored to Proxmox VE – and the other way around
too, reducing downtime and maximizing productivity.
- Advanced granular recovery capabilities: Effortlessly
identify and quickly recover all changed and deleted files, due to
a ransomware attack for example, ensuring business continuity and
peace of mind in the face of unexpected data loss or unplanned
disruption.
"Veeam's upcoming support for Proxmox is a testament to the
customer value delivered by Proxmox VE during this time of market
transformation," said Martin Maurer, CEO of Proxmox. "We are
excited that so many customers are making it clear that Proxmox VE
is the hypervisor that meets their business objectives. Veeam
delivering comprehensive Proxmox VE backup in Veeam Data Platform
further validates and acknowledges customers' demands and desire
for data freedom of choice."
“Veeam has developed comprehensive platform support over the
past few years and is constantly evolving how it can better protect
environments of all sizes,” said Christophe Bertrand, Practice
Director at ESG. “This is why providing resilience to Proxmox VE
environments – the sixth hypervisor the company now supports – is
not only a logical step, but one that should further confirm
Veeam’s focus on customer and SMB market requirements around the
protection of data, and its mobility.”
