Veeam Software, a leader in data resilience, has announced the next generation of Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, featuring new capabilities provided by Microsoft 365 Backup Storage. Built on Microsoft Azure, Veeam Data Cloud offers backup-as-a-service (BaaS) for Microsoft 365, enhancing data resilience with robust data protection and security technology in a seamless user experience.
As a launch partner for Microsoft 365 Backup Storage, Veeam leverages the latest Microsoft technology to deliver fast backup and recovery capabilities for large Microsoft 365 environments. This ensures organisations can protect critical data against cyber-attacks and data loss, further enabling complete data resilience. Over 21 million Microsoft 365 users are currently protected by Veeam.
John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer at Veeam, commented, “One of the benefits of our multi-year strategic partnership with Microsoft is rapidly bringing new advances to our joint customers and partners. This new release combines Veeam’s industry-leading technology in data protection and ransomware recovery with the latest Microsoft 365 data resilience capabilities introduced by Microsoft. As the leader in Microsoft 365 protection with over 21 million users protected, Veeam and Microsoft provide the ultimate Microsoft 365 backup and recovery solution and set the standard for enterprise data protection.”
Microsoft’s new backup technology is integrated into Veeam’s backup service for Microsoft 365, combining high-speed backup and recovery capabilities with Veeam’s established restore and eDiscovery options. This integration provides organisations with a powerful combination of speed, scale, control, and flexibility.
Zach Rosenfield, Director of PM for Collaborative Apps and Platforms at Microsoft, stated, “The collaboration with Veeam is an advancement in assisting our shared clients with quick recovery after cyber incidents. We look forward to deepening our collaboration to improve data protection for users.”
Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 with Microsoft 365 Backup Storage delivers:
- Speed and Scale: Designed to manage large volumes of data seamlessly, the solution can protect and restore over 100 TBs of data or more than 10,000 objects. What used to take weeks or months is now accomplished within hours.
- Disaster Recovery: Offers bulk restores at scale, ensuring increased resilience to ransomware or malware attacks and minimising downtime. Organisations can quickly recover from data loss scenarios without choosing between paying a ransom or enduring prolonged data restoration periods.
- Future Readiness: As part of a new 5-year strategic partnership, Veeam is developing future solutions with Microsoft integrating Microsoft Copilot and Azure Ai services to enhance data protection for Microsoft 365 and Azure. These solutions will simplify operations, automate administrative tasks, and allow organisations to allocate resources to business-critical initiatives, ensuring they stay ahead in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
Krista Macomber, Research Director at The Futurum Group, said, “As adoption of Microsoft 365 increases, the volume and criticality of their associated data sets is also growing. Without the proper data protection solution, this can lead to highly time-consuming, cumbersome backup processes – ultimately resulting in delayed, missed, or incomplete backups. Equally an issue, it can also lead to slow and incomplete recovery processes. This cannot be afforded, especially given the need for resiliency against the onslaught of cyber-attacks. Veeam is directly addressing these challenges with the most recent update to its Microsoft 365 backup capabilities.”
Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 with Microsoft 365 Backup Storage will be available in early August. Three packaging options (Express, Flex, and Premium) are available to accommodate Veeam and Microsoft customers. For more information, visit Veeam’s website.
