Avnet Technology Solutions, an IT solutions distributor and an operating group of Avnet Inc., has expanded its distribution agreement with Veeam Software, a developer of backup, disaster recovery, and virtualization management software. Specifically, Avnet will now offer its solution provider partners in the U.S. and Canada Veeam availability solutions, expanding upon the existing distribution relationship between Avnet and Veeam in Europe. †
“The addition of Veeam Software to Avnet’s portfolio in the U.S. and Canada will enable our partners to offer their customers a deeper level of protection and availability in the critical areas of backup and recovery,” says Sergio Farache, vice president, Avnet Technology Solutions, Americas, Solutions and Strategy group. “Avnet’s expanded relationship with Veeam significantly enhances our converged infrastructure capabilities. Our partners will be able to capitalize on Avnet’s unique position as a distributor of Cisco, HP, NetApp, and VMware to develop Cisco UCS, FlexPod, and Vblock – the converged infrastructure solutions that include Veeam’s complementary software technology.”
Veeam-based availability solutions offer:
- High-speed recovery to enable recovery time objectives (RTOs) and the rapid recovery of data in the required form.
- Data-loss avoidance with near continuous data protection and streamlined disaster recovery to avoid data loss by enabling low recovery point objectives (RPOs) and facilitating off-site data protection.
- Verified protection to enable every file, application, or virtual server to be restored when needed.
- Leveraged data for application deployment, configuration changes, and other testing scenarios.
- Complete visibility of the backup environment and virtual infrastructure using proactive monitoring and alerting tools to discover and receive alerts for issues and potential problems before they can significantly impact operations.†
“Veeam and Avnet fully recognize that organizations must operate 24/7/365 in today’s new business era,” says Chris Moore, senior director, North American Channels, Veeam Software. “To address this, Veeam has pioneered a new market of Availability for the Modern Data Center by helping organizations meet recovery time and point objectives(RTPO) of 15 minutes or less for all applications and data. Veeam Availability Suite, which includes Veeam Backup & Replication, leverages virtualization, storage, and cloud technologies that enable the modern data center to help organizations save time, mitigate risks, and dramatically reduce capital and operational costs.”
From August 30 to September 3, 2015, Veeam will be highlighting its solution offerings at VMworld 2015 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. To learn more about Avnet’s Veeam offerings, visit the Avnet/Veeam webpage.
