…. Veeam’s recovery capabilities, and is available in both free and paid versions.
Veeam also has integrated the product with its flagship backup and replication solution, which allows users to manage data – cloud, virtual or physical – all in the same portal.
“Modern organizations are now hybrid and have adopted public cloud for production applications, backup and disaster recovery among top use cases,” Christophe Bertrand, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. “Our research shows that nearly one out every two firms now uses AWS, which makes this new set of native capabilities by Veeam a great way for IT professionals and service providers to further unify the protection and recoverability of data assets wherever they live, without compromising service levels or usability.”
Veeam is demonstrating the new backup platform throughout the week at the show.

Druva Launches Extended Data Protection for AWS Workloads
Druva, which provides cloud data protection and management through the channel, on Tuesday launched extended data protection capabilities for AWS enterprise workloads.
The centralized suite includes backup and data management for Amazon Simple Storage Service, long-term archiving for Amazon Elastic Block Store snapshots and new global policies for AWS accounts.
Druva says the additions allow customers to more effectively manage some of today’s most popular workloads, enable consistent storage policies across the platform and reduce costs with automated storage tiering.
As enterprises continue to expand their AWS footprints, IT teams must stay abreast of data protection and analysis — a complex need, said Steven Hill, senior analyst at 451 Research.
“The global, policy-based data protection and lifecycle automation Druva is adding to its data protection service provides the tools needed to effectively manage that complexity,” Hill said. “In addition, Druva leverages the flexible and resilient Amazon S3 storage, tiering data for cost efficient long-term archiving and governance of AWS EBS volume snapshots.”
Mike Palmer, chief product officer at Druva, agreed.
“Given how easy it is to set up environments in AWS, enterprises look to further reduce business risk, increase operational efficiency and retain visibility of all their data,” he said. “As one of the only data protection solutions built entirely on AWS, and given our intimate knowledge of it, Druva is the ideal solution to help leverage AWS to the fullest and drive our customers’ business forward.”
Druva said its new capabilities will be generally available by the first quarter within Druva CloudRanger, on AWS Marketplace, and immediately available to select customers via early access. The company is exhibiting this week at AWS re:Invent.
