Veeam Software and Lenovo have announced the launch of Lenovo TruScale Backup with Veeam, which delivers a cloud-like experience for on-premises data protection. This offering allows businesses to secure their workloads regardless of location and to scale infrastructure up or down as needed, combining the best of Lenovo’s hardware and Veeam’s software capabilities.
TruScale Backup with Veeam integrates Lenovo ThinkSystem servers and storage with Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam ONE, and Lenovo TruScale services. This combination provides data protection as a service, simplifying on-premises or co-located deployments. By leveraging this solution, customers can significantly reduce recovery times, streamline IT complexity, and ensure data sovereignty.
Veeam’s Chief Revenue Officer, John Jester, highlighted the benefits of the solution: “Businesses already have enough challenges when scaling their infrastructure quickly. TruScale Backup with Veeam brings them simplicity, not only in reducing IT complexity but also helps ensure their data is protected and under their governance no matter where it is located. With Veeam’s #1 data protection and ransomware recovery, our joint customers can spend their time focused on running their business.”
Addressing IT Complexity and Cyberthreats
Businesses require reliable backup and data recovery solutions to manage IT complexity and mitigate cyber threats, especially in today’s environment. Gartner predicts that by 2028, 75% of large enterprises will adopt Backup as a Service (BaaS), a significant increase from 15% in 2024. Additionally, a January 2023 IDC survey revealed that 47% of respondents used on-premises Storage as a Service (STaaS), with another 32% planning to adopt it within the year. The main drivers for this adoption were the need for scalable storage capacity and rapid deployment capabilities.
Dale Aultman, Vice President & General Manager of Hybrid Cloud Services at Lenovo, underscored the advantages of the new solution: “Lenovo’s TruScale Backup with Veeam is a strong choice for Backup as a Service for several reasons. Not only does it give customers the tactical advantage of ransomware protection with immutability by default, but TruScale provides right-sizing of the solution from the start, with cloud-like economics to scale up and down on demand. We’re happy to collaborate with Veeam to bring these benefits and more to our customers.”
