Quantum and Veeam Partner to offer data availability for virtual environments

Quantum Corp. today announced a Premier Technology Alliance partnership with Veeam Software, a provider of availability solutions for the Modern Data Center, to bring their latest joint virtual machine (VM) storage and availability solutions to customers worldwide. This collaboration will enable the two companies to serve a broader range of customers with simplified virtual data backup solutions that deliver high performance and maximize production system availability while lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO), the press release said.

The combination of Veeam Backup & Replication™ software with Quantum’s storage solutions maximizes data availability, enabling files to be restored in just seconds and VMs to be restored in minutes while reducing both on-premise and disaster recovery (DR) site backup storage costs compared to traditional backup applications. Veeam Availability Suite combines the award-winning data protection and virtualization management capabilities of Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam ONE for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V. Quantum’s tiered storage portfolio of hybrid storage, deduplication appliances, object storage and tape provides a complement to the capabilities Veeam has introduced with Veeam Availability Suite v8 and the upcoming release of Veeam Availability Suite v9 later this year.
