Veeam Availability Suite v9 Available TODAYVeeam® Software, the innovative provider of solutions that deliver Availability for the Always-On Enterprise™, today announced the general availability of Veeam Availability SuiteTM v9. The latest version of Veeam's award-winning availability solution introduces more than 250 new innovative features and enhancements to help organizations deliver on the needs of the Always-On Enterprise, enabling SLAs (service level agreements) for recovery time and point objectives, or RTPO™, of less than 15 minutes for ALL applications and data. According to a Forrester (News - Alert)/Disaster Recovery Journal survey of global disaster recovery decision-makers, 35 percent of companies reported that mismatched business expectations from technology capabilities was one of the biggest challenges faced when recovering from their most recent disaster or major business disruption1. The survey found that business managers and executives are demanding their IT organizations deliver better availability, but IT is struggling to meet those expectations. With Veeam Availability Suite v9, Veeam is enabling enterprises of all sizes to close this gap (the Availability Gap) and deliver 24/7 availability. "Today's enterprises are more demanding than ever before, generating ever-increasing amounts of data to which they expect 24/7 access; this places an immense burden on IT to deliver," said Ratmir Timashev, CEO at Veeam. "Veeam Availability Suite v9 addresses these needs with our most robust, scalable and feature-rich offering to date. Almost 42,000 customers registered for pre-launch updates (double that of v8), which illustrates the desire among enterprises to move from legacy backup solutions to innovative availability solutions. With this latest launch, Veeam is solidifying our position as the only company able to meet the needs of today's Always-On Enterprise." Veeam Availability Suite v9 introduces hundreds of enterprise-focused enhancements and new innovative features delivering the following capabilities: high-speed recovery, data loss avoidance, verified recoverability, leveraged data and complete visibility. Notable highlights within Veeam Availability Suite v9 are: EMC VNX and VNXe hybrid storage array integration
NEW Additional Primary Storage Integrations for HPE, NetApp and EMC

Unlimited Scale-out Backup RepositoryTM
What early-users and influencers say about Veeam Availability Suite v9:
"The contradiction between the need to raise IT resiliency and agility
while trying to reduce storage burdens is adding complexity and burden
to many folks' IT infrastructures. Veeam's new Unlimited Scale-out
Backup Repository should help alleviate those burdens by simplifying
backup target storage, which ought to further ease administration while
providing flexibility to backup and virtualization administrators who
have more strategic tasks to do than managing their underlying storage
pool."
"Veeam Availability Suite V9's release is a game-changer for the DRaaS
market. The new Veeam Cloud Connect Replication feature will allow us to
bring true disaster recovery services, with strong SLAs, to enterprises
of all shapes and sizes. Together with its world-class ProPartner
community, we are excited to continue to deliver on Veeam's promise of
enabling the Always-On Enterprise."
"Veeam Cloud Connect replication and failover are game changers for
managed service providers (MSPs). Veeam lets us utilize unused resources
in our cloud environment for replication rather than deploying dedicated
physical environments, so we've reduced our capital expenditures, the
provisioning time for new customers and their monthly recurring charges."
"[About Veeam Availability Suite v9] It is the most comprehensive
update yet with game-changing features - and the previous releases
haven't been short on innovation. If only everything that went into
production was of Veeam quality."
"There is no better platform than Veeam Availability Suite for meeting
(and exceeding) RTOs and RPOs for virtual environments. The flexibility
and scalability of the platform allows us to architect highly effective
solutions for clients of all sizes, from SMB to Enterprise."
"Our customers are going to love DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service)
with the flexibility to provide full or selective failover and failback
to either new or existing infrastructure. The powerful and easy-to-use
portal, integrated failover testing, and utility consumption model are
an incredibly compelling case for Cloud DRaaS." Pricing for the new Veeam Availability Suite v9 starts at $1,150 per socket; pricing for Veeam Availability Suite Enterprise Plus starts at $2,650 per socket.
