Veeam Software, a backup solutions vendor that, has announced the general availability of the new Veeam Backup for AWS version three (v3), — a fully automated and native backup and disaster recovery solution built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), designed to effortlessly provide additional protection and management capabilities for Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS).
Built with reliability, cost-effectiveness and security top of mind, Veeam Backup for AWS v3 is designed to drastically minimise the risk of data loss for data on AWS. This new support and feature set is available in two packaging options, allowing organisations to choose the data protection solution that best fits their needs:
Veeam Backup for AWS, a standalone AWS Backup and Recovery solution for protecting data on AWS and Veeam Backup and Replication, which unifies AWS Backup and Recovery with other cloud, virtual or physical data and unlimited data portability to, from and across clouds.
“We are excited to deliver Amazon RDS support in this latest version of Veeam Backup for AWS,” said Danny Allan, Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of Product Strategy at Veeam. “With the number of active AWS users exceeding one million, it’s no surprise that this support has been the most requested feature from our Veeam customers and prospects. Not only is there an amazing market opportunity, but it’s also the right time for us to fulfill a great need for our customers and stay ahead of the curve. Our recent acquisition of Kasten further strengthens our commitment to support our customers’ business transformation to future-ready architectures. Veeam’s ability to now also protect and mobilise Kubernetes workloads in AWS via Kasten K10 data management platform is certainly a major differentiator in this space.”
Veeam Backup for AWS v3 now delivers AWS-native Backup and Recovery of Amazon RDS databases with the same reliability, cost-effectiveness and security benefits customers have come to expect from Veeam solutions. Users can fully automate backups of Amazon RDS with flexible policies and scheduling and can subsequently overcome any data loss using fast recovery options to restore entire databases from an exact point in time in just seconds.
“The ability to rapidly respond to customer requirements is necessary in today’s ever-changing environment. By delivering support for cloud-native Backup and Recovery of Amazon RDS databases, support for AWS Outposts and the ability to protect Kubernetes workloads in AWS, Veeam has shown it can operate at the speed of cloud and address dynamic customer needs,” Sabina Joseph, Director, ISVs, at Amazon Web Services, Inc.
“Customers are using a growing range of cloud apps and infrastructures that are generating mission-critical data. As a result, multi-cloud data management and protection has become strategic, especially considering increased cyberthreats and strict compliance requirements. Customers are struggling, though, to obtain single-pane-of-glass visibility and control over data across multi-cloud environments – and to provide fast levels of recovery. Adding Backup and Recovery of Amazon RDS databases and integrating AWS data to be protected alongside other on-premises and cloud sources, indicates that Veeam recognises and is working to address this pain point,” said Krista Macomber, Senior Analyst, Evaluator Group.
