Eliminate downtime, avoid digital disasters, and ensure the availability of critical applications for end users. Together, VAST Data Platform and Veeam deliver a modern data protection and recovery solution that enables organizations to make all-flash restores an affordable reality and recover entire IT estates in near real-time.

Overview

Backup, manage and recover data at the speed of flash.

With the threat of ransomware looming over every global enterprise, VAST Data and Veeam partner to deliver a modern data protection and recovery solution that enables organizations to make all-flash restores an affordable reality and recover entire IT estates in near real-time. With VAST, enterprise customers and service providers can backup and restore with any level of performance they need while protecting enterprise data at a cost that is comparable to an HDD-based backup appliance or object storage archive.

From enabling fast backups to ensuring blazing fast restore performance, VAST Data and Veeam Backup & Replication™ lay the foundation for any modern business continuity plan at a cost lower than legacy systems. VAST delivers radical flash economics that make petabyte-scale all-flash storage applicable for wide-ranging applications, including backups and restores with the Veeam Platform. Veeam and VAST have partnered to eliminate RTO, RPO and data management bottlenecks in the age of ransomware. Our combined solution makes it simple and resilient to deploy Veeam Platform at any scale.

VAST Data Platform + Veeam Platform: Better Together

For the first time in 20 years, VAST Data has introduced a new type of distributed system architecture. VAST’s Disaggregated and Shared Everything (DASE) storage system was built from the ground up to eliminate the tradeoffs imposed by legacy scale-out architectures. The VAST Data Platform system was engineered to be fast enough for your most demanding pipelines, scalable enough for all your life science data and affordable enough that you never need to think about storage tiering again.

Compounding Data Reduction to Minimize TCO

Veeam environments can realize additional storage-level savings even when Veeam compression and deduplication are enabled, thanks to VAST Data’s Similarity-Based Data Reduction. When combined, organizations can keep network traffic optimized using Veeam data reduction while also realizing additional VAST storage-level savings—making an all-flash finally affordable for Veeam Platform.

Unlimited Scale

VAST Data Platform's breakthrough DASE Architecture makes it possible to scale all-flash clusters far beyond the limits of legacy backup systems. Clusters can be scaled to deliver terabytes per second of Veeam backup, restore and replication traffic. VAST's parallel DASE architecture was also designed to eliminate the scaling constraints of data reduction, making it possible to realize industry-leading efficiency without any diminishing performance returns as clusters grow.

Service-Provider Ready

The VAST Data Platform is engineered from the ground up to deliver on the needs of modern service providers. VAST’s DASE architecture makes it easy to segment the system (physically or logically) by tenant to deliver quality of service to competing users. An extended set of multi-tenant security features such as multi-level encryption and extended key management make it possible to implement the VAST Data Platform as a zero-trust storage foundation for Veeam Platform.

Immutable Infrastructure

The VAST Data Platform safeguards Veeam environments by providing additional levels of protection from both ransomware attacks as well as insider threats. VAST’s S3 object lock ensures that all data written into VAST is always immutable, and VAST's Indestructible Snapshots make it possible to eliminate the possibility of infrastructure tampering by a rogue actor, safeguarding data across all protocols (S3, NFS).

All-Flash Backups & Restores, Archive Economics

Recover 50x faster than disk-based backup appliances and reduce downtime to minutes instead of days. Drive flash costs down to archive price points through hyperscale flash, next-gen algorithms that deliver 3X data reduction even after Veeam deduplication and compression, and highly efficient erasure codes.
