Columbus, Ohio-based Veeam Software, provider of backup, replication, and virtualization management solutions for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Windows Server Hyper-V, has announced support for VMware vCloud Director.
The new integration will extend Veeam support for vCloud Director, which currently includes the ability to backup and restore virtual machines (VMs) managed by vCloud Director. Using the vCloud Director API, Veeam will display the vCloud Director infrastructure directly in Veeam Backup & Replication, backup all vApp metadata and attributes, restore vApps and VMs directly to vCloud Director, and support restore of fast-provisioned VMs.
“For our customers who are taking the next step in virtualization into cloud computing, Veeam will be able to give them the peace of mind that their environments are protected by VM Backup,” says Veeam president and CEO Ratmir Timashev. †
The new functionality leverages Veeam’s existing backup infrastructure and is integrated directly into the existing Veeam backup console. With enhanced backup and recovery for vCloud Director, Veeam will enable SMBs to move toward a cloud computing model.
Enhanced vCloud Director support will also streamline backup and recovery for cloud providers and managed service providers who are using vCloud Director to provision and manage cloud environments for their customers.
