Veeam® Software, the number one leader by market share in Data Resilience, today announced major updates to Veeam Data Cloud Vault.

Veeam Data Cloud Vault is a fully-managed, secure, and cloud-based storage service that leverages the power of Microsoft Azure and simplifies storing backups of mission critical data and applications offsite for unmatched business resilience.

This new release, developed in collaboration with Microsoft, introduces two new editions with low-cost, all-inclusive pricing that eliminates common forecasting and bill shock challenges for customer-managed cloud storage.

“Veeam Data Cloud Vault provides secure and hassle-free cloud storage, eliminating management challenges and unpredictable pricing, and reinforces our strategic partnership with Microsoft”, said Niraj Tolia, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Veeam.

Furthermore, a new enhancement to Veeam Data Vault is the integration with Veeam Data Platform, making it simpler for customers to streamline immutable, offsite backup for Veeam users. Veeam Data Cloud Vault will be showcased at Microsoft Ignite, November 19-22 in Chicago.

Veeam Data Cloud Vault addresses all of these. Veeam collaborated closely with Microsoft to develop this enhanced offering integrated with Azure Blob Cool Storage. It simplifies data storage management for backups and eliminates unpredictable cloud cost models, providing users with the confidence to securely store backup data in a Veeam-managed, logically air-gapped, always-immutable and encrypted offsite location for enhanced protection and reliable recovery, when needed. Veeam Vault also helps organizations minimize the duration of downtime through fast restores to both on-premises and Azure VMs.

Aung Oo, Vice President, Azure Storage at Microsoft added, “The combination of Azure’s secure cloud foundation and Veeam’s strengths in business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) provides an excellent end-to-end, anti-ransomware solution for customers”.

New key benefits of Veeam Data Cloud Vault include:
Security and Durability: Veeam Data Cloud Vault storage-as-a-service (STaaS) ensures data confidentiality, integrity and availability through Zero Trust storage architecture that is always immutable, encrypted, and air-gapped. With the new release, Veeam Data Cloud Vault now offers up to 12 nines of durability that protects against entire data center failure.

Predictability: Veeam Data Cloud Vault offers predictable, flat, per-TB pricing on two editions of cloud storage, inclusive of read/write requests, and egress fees.

Simplified: Veeam Data Cloud Vault minimizes cloud and security skills gaps with on-demand, pre-configured and fully managed cloud storage built on Azure, directly integrated with the Veeam Data Platform interface.

“Veeam’s Data Cloud Vault helps companies enhance their security posture while also providing them with simple, all-inclusive, consumption-based pricing, making it a great option for businesses of all sizes”, said Russ Fellows, Head of Labs for The Futurum Group.
