Veeam Software introduced Veeam Data Cloud Vault, a cloud-based storage service that enables users to securely store backup data off-site in an immutable and encrypted format. This service provides an additional layer of protection for critical information, ensuring data security and integrity. Veeam Data Cloud Vault was showcased live for the first time at VeeamON 2024, highlighting its potential to revolutionize data storage and management.
Enhanced Data Protection and Cyber Resilience
Veeam Data Cloud Vault allows enterprises to store, manage, and access their data without the need to design, implement, and manage cloud or physical storage infrastructure. This aligns with zero trust principles, ensuring a robust security posture for organizations.
Anand Eswaran, Veeam’s CEO, emphasized the importance of this new service, stating, “Eighty-five percent of organizations that suffered a cyber-attack last year are now using cloud storage that offers immutability, according to the Veeam Ransomware Trends Report 2024. Storing a backup of your data offsite is an essential part of any backup strategy, and it’s critical to rapid, clean recovery from an outage or a cyber-attack. New Veeam Data Cloud Vault meets this demand of enterprises by delivering an added level of data protection, cyber resilience, compliance adherence, faster recovery, and prevention against insider threats. These factors collectively contribute to strengthening the overall security posture of organizations without breaking the bank.”
Benefits of Veeam Data Cloud Vault
Veeam Data Cloud Vault is secure, easy, and predictable. It ensures data safety by leveraging Zero Trust storage that is immutable, encrypted, and logically air-gapped from production environments. This prevents unauthorized access and ensures data integrity.
The new service offers on-demand, fully managed Azure storage with zero configuration, management, or integration complexities. Organizations can use Veeam Vault without the typical headaches associated with cloud storage architecture.
Veeam Data Cloud Vault is priced on a flat per terabyte (TB) subscription model that includes storage, API calls for writing in an immutable format, and read and egress charges. This pricing model eliminates unexpected costs and provides organizations with financial predictability.
Simplified Cloud Storage Management
Veeam Vault delivers a pre-configured and fully managed cloud storage resource on Azure, eliminating the need for customers to securely architect infrastructure and navigate unpredictable cloud cost models. Organizations can immediately leverage this service to manage their data with predictable pricing. The service is accessible through Veeam’s software interface, allowing users to manage their storage requirements and easily scale as needed. Additionally, users benefit from the reliability and disaster recovery capabilities provided by the cloud storage provider.
Future Enhancements and Capabilities
As demand for Veeam Data Cloud Vault grows, Veeam plans to introduce new capabilities throughout 2024 to further optimize costs and enhance efficiency. The planned capabilities include:
- Cost Optimization: The addition of colder and archive-class object storage tiers will allow organizations to store older and secondary backups at a lower cost, with an acceptable trade-off of slower restore performance for long-term retention.
- Centralized Management: Tighter integration with the Veeam Data Platform will enable centralized management and monitoring of all aspects of Veeam Vault, driving greater operational efficiencies.
Availability
Veeam Data Cloud Vault is available via the Azure Marketplace. It offers a single fee per TB per month based on region. This fee includes storage, write/read APIs, and egress charges, making it a comprehensive and cost-effective solution for data protection and recovery.
Veeam Data Cloud Vault represents a significant advancement in cloud-based data storage, providing secure, easy-to-use, and predictably priced storage solutions for enterprises. By integrating with Veeam’s robust data protection platform, Veeam Vault ensures that organizations can effectively manage their data and maintain strong cyber resilience in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
