Hi! Thank you for coming in a great number last week to our online event focused on Veeam Backup & Replication v12 and Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage. I had the opportunity to participate in a live webcast in French between Veeam Software, Wasabi and Monaco Digital – Avangarde Consulting for presenting Veeam Backup & Replication v12 new features (focused on Object Storage) and how Veeam Availability Suite v12 allows to accelerate the backup process, increase data safety and reduce expenses (Special Webinar Event in France – Veeam v12). Watch the recording of the webinar in french below and find out what’s new in Veeam Backup & Replication v12 (replay).

Protect your data with Veeam and Wasabi

Many organizations still view cloud storage as less secure than air-gapped, offline storage. These organizations feel that if data is connected to a network, it can be accidentally deleted or susceptible to ransomware. The traditional method of air gapping data for protection meant that an organization’s data was stored offline in an LTO tape cartridge or HDD that was disconnected from power sources. Retrieving data stored in this fashion could take many hours to days and is vulnerable to bit rot or damage that could ultimately destroy the data. Object Lock removes the perceived vulnerability of errant deletion or ransomware while keeping the integrity of the data, and having the data readily available and instantly accessible. Here’s a blog post about the Object Lock feature offered by Wasabi with Veeam Backup & Replication.

Wasabi – Object Lock feature spotlight

Hi, I’m in Vegas this week for VeeamON 2022, just had a sneak peek of some of the content, and some very cool demos to look out for (a special session by Rick Vanover). Moving to S3-compatible object storage next. An interesting trend is the adoption of S3-compatible object storage by enterprises. If in 2021, data showed that object storage was almost exclusively used by enterprise customers, these days there is also a long tail of smaller deployments on vendors like Wasabi (Cloud Hot Storage). It’s a very interesting solution, I encourage you to visit the Wasabi stand if you participate at VeeamON in Vegas (exhibitors area). With it, you can store your data by making data storage simple, affordable, fast, and secure (compliance, sovereignty). Basically, there are many use cases, such as offsite backup, especially with Veeam. Shortly, I will publish some blog posts about Wasabi with Veeam. Here’s a blog post about the Object Lock feature powered by Wasabi.

Veeam and the S3-compatible object storage solutions

Talking about the 4 hyperscalers (Amazon/Azure/Google/IBM), as expected Amazon and Azure are unquestionable leaders leaving just a few percent of the Veeam backup market to IBM and Google. While among the last two, IBM seems to be laser-focused on larger customers as indicated by a few times higher average used space.
