Highlights
Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure.
Vendor integration for many of the enterprise features have allowed for us to have greater performance from our storage vendors further improving on our commitments to protect our clients' data.
Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer.
It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days.
We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work.
Very flexible, all-in-one solution.
The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well.
