This week, myself and David Hill presented at AWS re:Invent 2018 around what at Veeam is offering by way of providing data protection and availability for native AWS workloads, VMware Cloud on AWS workloads and how we are leveraging AWS technologies to offer new features in the upcoming Update 4 release of Backup & Replication 9.5.

For those that where not at AWS re:Invent this week or for those who could not attend the session on Wednesday, the video recording has been posted on the offical AWS YouTube page.

We had some audio issues at the start which made for some interesting banter between David and myself…but once we got into it we talked about the following:

  • The N2WS 2.4 Release
  • Veeam VTL and AWS Storage Gateway
  • Update 4 Cloud Tier
  • Update 4 Cloud Mobility
  • Data Protection for VMware Cloud on AWS

I wanted to highlight the Cloud Tier section where I give an overview and quick deepdive into the smarts behind the new repository feature coming in Update 4. The live demo of me using our Patented Instant VM Recovery feature to bring up a VM with data residing in Amazon S3 is a great example of the power of this upcoming feature. Not only does it allow storage efficiencies locally but offloading old data to Object Storage for long term retention, but is also is intelligent enough to recover quickly and efficiently with its Intelligent Block Recovery.
