Availability for public cloud and physical workloads
Due to various factors, including complex hardware configurations and regulatory compliance requirements, some physical servers and workstations cannot be virtualized. And everyday occurrences such as lapses in connectivity, hardware failures, file corruption — even ransomware or theft — can leave an organization’s data at risk.
NEW Veeam® Agent for Microsoft Windows solves these issues and also closes the gap that some enterprises face with large, heterogeneous environments and further enables workload mobility by delivering Availability for cloud-based workloads.
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is built on the extremely successful Veeam Endpoint Backup™ FREE and includes two brand new editions — Workstation and Server — with additional features designed to ensure the Availability of your Windows workloads by providing backup and recovery for physical and cloud-based workloads, as well as endpoint devices that belong to remote users.
With Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows, you get:
- Enterprise-level backup and recovery: Get complete protection for both workstations and Windows physical servers — even those running in the cloud — including full application awareness
- Physical backups off site: Back up Windows-based workloads off site to a cloud service provider through Veeam Cloud Connect
- Protection of roaming endpoints: Meet RPOs for laptops and tablets outside the corporate network
Part of the Veeam Availability Platform
Veeam Backup & Replication™ provides fast, flexible and reliable recovery of fully virtualized VMs and data running on-premises or in private cloud architectures. Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows, however, is another key component of the Veeam Availability Platform and should be used for workloads that Veeam Backup & Replication cannot protect, such as:
- Desktops, laptops and tablets
- Physical servers running on-premises
- Cloud-based workloads running in Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and other public clouds
- VMs running on-premises with physical raw device mapping disks (pRDM) or on non-ESXi/Hyper-V hosts (e.g., KVM, etc.)
- File-level backup to disk
