Veeam Backup now supports all three major public cloud providers – an important consideration, given that 451 Research reports that the majority of organisations now run hybrid or multi-cloud environments and 72% of those using public cloud have more than one incumbent vendor.
Veeam Backup for Google Cloud Platform is a Google Cloud native product providing policy-based automated snapshots with rapid full and file-level recovery options.
It includes cost calculations to align service-level objectives (SLOs) with budgets, isolation of backup data from production to help protect against ransomware and other attacks, layered security with multi-factor authentication, portability and integration with Veeam Backup & Replication for es easy recovery outside of Google Cloud, and flexible Veeam Universal Licensing to simplify license management and support cloud mobility.
"Veeam recognises the strategic importance of the cloud to our 400,000+ global customers and we are committed to providing broad platform support and choice," said Danny Allan, chief technology officer and senior vice president of product strategy at Veeam.
"As we now expand public cloud support even further with the general availability of Veeam Backup for Google Cloud Platform, we have simultaneously expanded our partnership with Google Cloud, enabling Veeam to jointly engage customers through the Google Cloud Marketplace. Additionally, with Veeam recently acquiring Kasten, customers can also acquire Kasten's K10 data management platform, purpose-built for Kubernetes, through the Google Cloud Marketplace."
Veeam senior global technologist Anthony Spiteri said "The goalposts have moved for applications that can now be deployed across multiple cloud platforms. Innovative solutions must be offered that protect customers – and their cloud-based workloads – when things go wrong.
"In Asia Pacific, the mass migration of IT systems to the cloud and the exponential growth of hyperscalers like Google Cloud has accelerated the need for such solutions to protect, secure and manage all applications and data.
"Veeam is the unequivocal, no-risk choice for any business in this region leveraging hybrid cloud infrastructure because 1) our solutions be quickly deployed and managed at scale, and 2) our number one responsibility is the same as our customers': To ensure that data is always available and secure."
Google Cloud partnerships director Manvinder Singh said "As customers migrate their most business-critical workloads to the cloud, data protection and management are top of mind. With the expanded availability of Veeam's data backup solutions on Google Cloud, customers can quickly deploy and manage these applications at global scale, while benefiting from Veeam's capabilities in data protection."
The free edition of Veeam Backup for Google Cloud Platform allows up to 10 Google Cloud workloads to be backed up with unlimited restore options and basic support.
The BYOL edition (Veeam Universal Licensing with flexible cloud data management and production 24/7 support) is available from the Google Cloud Marketplace.
