The patch is strongly advised to be deployed to all VCSPs running Veeam Service Provider Console v4 in production.
The One Console
It’s worth briefly reminding our Veeam Cloud and Service Providers that The Console is an essential part of any service offering based on Veeam. The continued refinement and improvement around usage reporting and monitoring shows that we are committed to making this the go to platform for all VCSPs as the source of truth. In addition to that, for those that can consume Console via RESTful APIs, the v3 preview should be being investigated for use before the next major v5 release.
Veeam Service Provider Console contains everything you need to stand up a Veeam-powered services business. Whether you’re looking to offer remote managed services for your customers’ on-premises environments or manage your multi-tenant Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), cloud backup or Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offerings, Veeam Service Provider Console has you covered. Veeam Service Provider Console is offered FREE to current Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partners. Not in the program? It’s free to join with no obligation to buy.
