Black River Technologies partners with VEEAM

VEEAM was founded in 2006 by the team previously behind Aelita Software, well known for its Windows Server management solutions. Aelita was acquired by Quest Software in 2004, and after ensuring the successful continuation of Aelita’s products and strategy at Quest, the team founded Veeam Software to provide similar systems management solutions for virtualized server infrastructures.

Over the last decade, IT has become strategic for every organization, and business requirements for IT have changed dramatically. To stay competitive today, businesses need to provision IT services faster, strengthen security and control, lower operational costs and increase business agility. To meet these requirements, businesses are building modern data centers by investing in technologies such as virtualization, modern storage and the cloud. 

By leveraging this investment in modern data centers, businesses can satisfy a number of demands from end users: 24/7 access to data and applications, no patience for downtime or data loss and exponential data growth. In fact, many companies are seeing their data explode at a rate of 30 - 50% each year. 

CIOs report that businesses are increasing their requirements to minimize downtime and guarantee access to data. We call this the “Always-On Business™ approach.”

The Availability gap

Unfortunately there is still a gap—an “Availability gap”—between the requirements of the Always-On Business and IT’s ability to effectively deliver Availability. Despite an increased demand for Availability, many businesses are still settling for legacy backup solutions with RPOs and RTOs (RTPO™) of hours or days. This is unacceptable to the modern business.
