Veeam Software has announced the global availability of its first fully pre-built, pre-hardened software appliance for the channel.
The Veeam Software Appliance, first unveiled at this April’s VeeamON customer and partner conference in San Diego, gives IT teams “instant protection without complexity”, we are told.
The appliance eliminates the friction of manual setup, OS patching, and Windows licensing. Delivered as a bootable ISO or virtual appliance, it runs on a hardened, Veeam-managed Linux OS, giving customers a “secure, always-up-to-date foundation”, says Veeam.
The solution is hardware-agnostic, allowing customers to deploy it on their infrastructure of choice - physical, virtual or cloud - while still gaining the “simplicity, resilience, and automation” of a fully pre-configured solution.
“The result is faster time to value, lower costs, and no hardware lock-in,” promises Veeam.
“Whether you’re deploying a new data resilience strategy or expanding protection to new locations, our pre-hardened, Linux-based solution delivers instant protection and reduces ongoing management headaches, without compromising on security or flexibility, said Anand Eswaran (pictured in San Diego), CEO at Veeam.
Edouard Kutchukian, product management, infrastructure products, partnering and presales at Datacom, said: “With the Veeam Software Appliance we can scale up faster and onboard more customers with confidence. It takes the complexity and risk out of deployments, and we’re committed to this deployment for our upcoming Veeam Data Platform offerings.”
