evolve from basic backup and recovery
solutions which mechanically copy data at
prescribed intervals, to a much higher level
of intelligence where data learns to respond
instantly and appropriately to what actually
happens anywhere across the enterprise
data infrastructure. Data protection and
data management must move from reactive
insurance policies to a system that provides
proactive business value.
“Veeam’s vision for intelligent data
management is based on a flexible set of
integrated, plug-and-play solutions,” said
Danny Allan, Vice President of Product
Strategy at Veeam.
“Veeam Hyper-Availability Platform provides
the integration, visibility, orchestration,
intelligence, and automation to evolve
data management from policy-based
to behaviour-based, and from manual
management to intelligent automation.
“This enables the provisioning and
management of the massive, constant flows
of data running across highly distributed, multi-
cloud infrastructures to be securely automated,
self-learning, and optimally orchestrated.
Enterprises that run on Veeam Hyper-
Availability Platform respond faster to any
business need, gain multifold improvements
in efficiencies, and have far greater agility to
deliver new digital services and experiences
that improve how people live and work.”
There are five stages on the journey to
intelligent data management for the Hyper-
Available Enterprise:
• Stage one. Backup: Back up all
workloads and ensure they are always
recoverable in the event of outages,
attack, loss or theft
• Stage two. Aggregation: Ensure
protection and availability of data across
multi-cloud environments to drive digital
services and ensure the aggregated view
of service level compliance
• Stage three. Visibility: Improve
management of data across multi-cloud
environments with clear, unified visibility
and control into usage, performance
issues, and operations; data management
begins to evolve from reactive to
proactive, preventing any loss of data
availability through advanced monitoring,

resource optimisation, capacity planning,
and built-in intelligence
• Stage four. Orchestration: Seamlessly
move data to the best location across
multi-cloud environments to ensure
business continuity, compliance, security,
and optimal use of resources for business
operations. This requires an orchestration
engine that enables enterprises to easily
and non-disruptively execute, test, and
document disaster recovery (DR) plans in
a highly-automated fashion
• Stage five. Automation: Data becomes
self-managing by learning to back
itself up, migrate to ideal locations
based on business needs, secure itself
during anomalous activity, and recover
instantaneously. This stage brings new
levels of automation to enterprise data
management via a combination of
data analysis, pattern recognition, and
machine learning
“As organisations digitally transform,
market differentiation will increasingly
focus on leveraging an application and data
continuum that stretches from edge to
core to cloud,” said Matt Eastwood, SVP at
IDC. “With its vision for the hyper-available
enterprise, Veeam continues to recognise
the intrinsic value that a multi-cloud
environment represents and is delivering
tools and technology that help customers
achieve their full digital potential.”

“Every minute matters in a hazardous

“Too many organizations wait until
something goes wrong, or until a solution
isn’t meeting a fundamental business need
before looking for an alternative. But you
can’t underplay the importance of time
savings. IT is complicated enough, and I
believe in simplicity. We therefore haven’t
selected Veeam to save us from that one
unforeseen disaster, but rather to simplify
operations for our staff every single day and
ensure we are delivering the uninterrupted
service our customers expect.”
Neil Menezes, Vice President Enterprise
Architecture at Dubai Holding
“Our business has evolved exponentially
over the past few years, and we have moved
to a true multi-cloud environment which,
until recently, was becoming a headache to
manage. Veeam has made our life so much
simpler as it provides a one-stop-shop for
ensuring Hyper-Availability, allowing us to get
rid of inefficient legacy solutions. We don’t
have to scramble trying to mix-and-match
different offerings to protect workloads in
different locations. With Veeam, we have total
assurance under one umbrella solution.”

can deliver propane to customers faster
and ensure reliable service. Veeam is key
in helping us manage weather-related
emergencies and serving our customers as

Ron Traub, Senior Operations Manager,
Suburban Propane
“Veeam is the only solution we trust for data
availability and data protection. Veeam
adapts to any customer’s environment
because it’s versatile. These are enormous
benefits for a service provider because it
means we can onboard customers 50%
faster. The faster we onboard a customer, the
faster we can serve the next customer, which
makes our business more agile.”
