Veeam availability for AWS
Part of Veeam Availability Platform, this
new solution combines the market-leading
Veeam N2WS cloud-native backup and
recovery of AWS workloads with the ability
to consolidate the backup data in a central
Veeam repository. This new offering enables
customers to reliably move data to and
holistically manage it across multi-cloud
environments. It also mitigates the risk
of losing access to cloud applications and
ensures protection of AWS data against
accidental deletion, loss of AWS account
access, data-level security threats and
outages. Customers will experience:
• Cloud-native, agentless data
protection: With this feature, customers
have purpose-built data protection for
AWS using AWS snapshots and allowing
for instant recovery
• Cloud mobility and cost savings: By
decoupling backups from the Amazon
Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
infrastructure and storing data in a
low-cost format inside Amazon S3
object storage or in an on-premises
backup repository, customers will achieve
advanced cost savings and the data
