Veeam Disaster Recovery on IBM Cloud

Key Points

  • Veeam provides intelligent backup and disaster‑recovery (DR) capabilities that are essential for maintaining hyper‑availability amid increasing threats such as natural disasters, ransomware, cyber‑attacks, and human error.
  • Moving DR and backup workloads to the cloud mitigates the risk of a single‑site failure by leveraging geographic diversity, allowing a low‑footprint, on‑demand scale‑up model that reduces costs until an outage occurs.
  • IBM Cloud delivers Veeam with full bare‑metal and hypervisor access, preserving the security, flexibility, and control of on‑premises environments while shortening the cloud‑learning curve.
  • Veeam on IBM Cloud includes advanced features like Instant VM Recovery, SureReplica, and SureBackup, and supports a wide range of deployment options (virtual servers, non‑virtualized bare metal, VMware, SAP) across 60+ global data centers.
  • Replication between IBM Cloud data centers is provided free of charge and securely, enabling customers to create robust, multi‑region backup architectures with minimal additional expense.

0:00Hi, my name is Jordan Shamir with IBM Cloud 0:03and today I'm going to be talking about Veeam. 0:05Veeam is an intelligent data management backup and disaster recovery solution 0:10that is focused on providing hyper availability 0:13and uptime for their customers. 0:15Back up and disaster recovery is no longer a luxury, 0:18but an absolute necessity. 0:20Our consumers expect us to stay online, 0:23they want to be able to access our products when they want it. 0:26However, this is becoming much more challenging 0:29with the rise of disasters such as natural disasters, 0:33the rise of ransomware and cyberattacks, 0:35and lastly human errors. 0:37Maintaining this uptime and availability is becoming much, much more challenging. 0:41Many businesses have their disaster recovery and backup environment within their own data center. 0:47This is risky because if your data center goes down, 0:50you are down. 0:51So, as companies begin to modernize, 0:54they look at their cloud to provide a disaster recovery and backup environment. 0:58Some of the benefits are the geographic spread. 1:01We're giving you that two hundred, four hundred, five hundred mile difference 1:06to ensure availability by a different region. 1:08Also, beyond that we provide a variety of different economic benefits because you don't 1:13need a disaster recovery environment until you're going for a test or an outage. 1:17So, within the cloud you can use the flexibility to have a low initial foot print and scale 1:22up as needed to accommodate an outage. 1:26Back up and disaster recovery is completely different than availability. 1:30Cloud service providers guarantee you a certain level of availability of your workloads, but 1:35it doesn't mean that your workloads are backed up and resilient. 1:39Whether in your own data center, cloud, or a multicloud environment you need disaster 1:43recovery and backup. 1:45Veeam on IBM Cloud is one option. 1:49Within IBM Cloud we give you full Bare Metal and Hypervisor Access, and this is important 1:54because it significantly reduces the learning curve of using the cloud. 1:58This enables you to maintain the same security, flexibility, and control that you're running 2:04in your own data center today. 2:06Specifically, with Veeam you get access to all the advanced functionality which really 2:10makes Veeam, Veeam. 2:12Such as Instant VM Recovery, SureReplica, SureBackup and a variety of other features. 2:19It's critical that businesses have deployment flexibility as their requirements vary by 2:25specific applications and workloads. 2:28In IBM Cloud we have over thirteen thousand different deployments of Veeam. 2:32You can either deploy on our Virtual Server Instances, are Non-Virtualized Bare Betal, 2:38as well as our VMware and SAP workloads. 2:42These deployment options are available in sixty plus data centers around the globe. 2:46One of the really cool things as you can actually replicate between these data centers for free 2:51and securely. 2:52So, if I think about backing up my own workloads, I have my production data center in A, and 2:58then my backup data center in B. So, replicating between the two is completely free and secure 3:03within the IBM Cloud. 3:05And this really saves me a significant amount of networking cost to have a backup and disaster 3:10recovery environment in the cloud. 3:12In order to meet your consumer expectation and availability requirements you need a multicloud 3:18strategy. 3:19Veeam on IBM cloud provides you the control, flexibility, and availability to meet your 3:25business objectives. 3:28Thank you for watching if you have any questions please comment below. 3:31If you would like to learn more about what IBM Cloud is doing, please subscribe to our 3:35YouTube channel.
