Veeam has close to two decades of history in delivering market-leading data protection and ransomware recovery solutions on a global scale. We are dedicated to providing our customers with freedom of choice within our product set, and this commitment led us to an important milestone in our history. In early 2024, we announced Veeam Data Cloud, a solution that provides resilient data protection and data recovery for multi-cloud data — all delivered through cloud-native backup and storage services.
The Shift Toward As-a-Service
A hands-on approach to data protection is something many companies still look for, and there will likely always be a strong case for having fully self-managed backups. However, there has also been a notable shift in the growing preference for as-a-Service models. In fact, in our own Veeam Data Protection Trends Report for 2024, 88% of enterprises indicated they were either very likely or almost certain to use a BaaS or DRaaS for at least some of their production servers. Veeam is not only keeping pace with customer demand through Veeam Data Cloud, but is also providing customers with more deployment and management options than ever before.
Veeam Data Cloud Overview
Microsoft 365 and Azure support many organizations’ most valuable data, and most organizations know they have a gap in their strategy. However, they don’t always have the skills on staff to make necessary changes. This is where Veeam Data Cloud takes this transformation from aspiration to action.
Veeam Data Cloud delivers confidence without complexity. Its cloud-native design provides the best SaaS-based protection for your Microsoft 365 and Azure data, and it comes ready out–of–the-box with policy-driven simplicity. It’s also based on a secure, zero-trust architecture that’s continuously versioned and maintained to keep your backups safe, secure, and always ready for fast recovery. It’s an all-in-one service that includes backup software, infrastructure, and storage to keep costs low and predictable to stay on budget.
Lastly, a Storage-as-a-Service offering is also now available: Veeam Data Cloud Vault. This is a fully managed cloud storage resource that eliminates the headache of managing infrastructure and unpredictable cloud cost models.
Customer Freedom and Choice
At Veeam, we believe you should be able to work with and trust a single backup platform, regardless of how your backup strategy currently exists or how it may change in the future. Unfortunately, most backup vendors today have an “our way is the best way” approach to deployment and management, which doesn’t allow for customers to tailor to their own specific business needs.
Veeam Data Cloud exemplifies customer freedom and is our twin offering to Veeam Data Platform. Veeam Data Cloud now provides more options for customers, with a menu of backup service products alongside our self-managed products. We anticipate supporting many more applications and workloads through Veeam Data Cloud in the future. So, whether you want to leverage a backup service, utilize backup software, or offload backups via managed services — Veeam has you covered!
