Enabling Digital Transformation via the Hybrid Cloud
It is increasingly understood that digital transformation is a
critical imperative for enterprises worldwide, irrespective of size or vertical
market. Organizations that fail to create value, growth and competitive
advantage through new digital offerings and business models risk major
consequences including long-term business irrelevance. At the heart of this
transformation is the hybrid cloud.

transformation is the hybrid cloud.
IDC forecasts that public IT
cloud services revenue will exceed $141 billion in 2019, recording a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.4 percent — almost six times the rate of
overall IT market growth. In 2019, public IT cloud services will drive a
fifth of the $716 billion aggregate revenue generated by the need for
applications, development and deployment tools, infrastructure software,
storage, and servers. By 2018, more than half of enterprises’ IT infrastructure
and software investments will be cloud based (private and public), reaching 60
to 70 percent of IT spend by 2020.

Organizations are now reassessing their data centers and
embracing a hybrid cloud strategy to meet the challenge of digital
transformation. However, maintaining Availability across a hybrid cloud
environment is not easy. Which is why today’s news, seeing Veeam operate deeper
on the Cisco HyperFlex platform, means businesses can realize not only the
increased efficiency and adaptability benefits of Cisco HyperFlex and the
computing power of Cisco UCS, but with the integration of Veeam, ensure data
remains available 24.7.365 across a multi-cloud environment.

Today’s
news builds on a successful collaboration between Veeam and Cisco, which began
in 2013 with joint solutions based on Cisco UCS server technology and Veeam
Availability Suite. Now, as businesses place more critical data and systems
online to reap the benefits of digital transformation and utilize data to make
better, more informed business decisions, management of that data has become
more critical.

Key
benefits of Veeam direct integration with Cisco HyperFlex include:
benefits of Veeam direct integration with Cisco HyperFlex include:
- Improved Recovery
Point Objectives
– Using Backups from Storage Snapshots enables the user to run a backup at
any time and any frequency, reducing a business’ exposure to data loss. - Minimized Impact
on Production
– Not using VMware VM snapshots means the high impact of snapshot create
and delete operations are eliminated. This dramatically reduces the
performance impact on production VMs during the copy process. - Accelerated
Backups
– Potentially improves copy speed up to twice as much as the standard as
the standard VMware vSphere APIs, through the unique ability to
backup data directly from the file system with asynchronous reads when
using Veeam Availability Suite 9.5. - Agentless
Application Aware Backup – Across multiple applications, such as
Microsoft Active Directory, Exchange, SharePoint and SQL Server. - Storage
Replication
– Customers can now replicate Cisco HyperFlex workloads to another
HyperFlex System or to any other VMware vSphere environment including
Veeam Cloud & Service Providers by using Veeam’s VM Replication
functionality.
Veeam’s
direct integration with Cisco HyperFlex will be available globally in Q2
CY2017.

“Enterprises
leveraging Cisco Hyperflex got a nice win today with the announcement that
Veeam can now do direct snapshots of their infrastructure,” said Dan Thompson,
Senior Analyst, 451 Research. “With this new, tighter integration, backups
take place lower in stack, freeing up resources and saving precious time in
those ever-shrinking windows. This improvement brings with it the possibility
of a shorter RPO (recovery point objective), which gives organizations more
options within their backup and disaster recovery plans”.

has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Cisco, and I am delighted that we
are further deepening this relationship with native snapshot integration for
Cisco HyperFlex”, said Andy Vandeveld, VP of Alliances at Veeam. “This is
another example of Veeam working tightly with best of breed storage and server
vendors to deliver greater performance to ensure data availability. Customers
have made it clear they want us to partner with the major storage and server
vendors to deliver flexible solutions that work and meet their growing demands
for Availability. That’s what we’ve done here. Cisco’s HyperFlex offers a
significant differentiation for customers looking to scale storage and compute
capacity. Now those same customers can benefit from our new direct integration,
which delivers market-leading Availability.”

“Betta
Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. is undergoing dramatic growth, and the variety of
applications used is rapidly increasing. Traditional backup solutions are not
scalable and hence are not able to meet the growing needs of the business,”
said Chao WANG, IT Manager at Betta Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., a high-tech
pharmaceutical firm in China. “Veeam’s integration with Cisco HyperFlex
solution is highly flexible, scalable and easy to implement. The Veeam snapshot
integration makes backups much faster so there is less impact to the production
workloads (VMs) when the backups are taken. It only requires the addition of
nodes to increase performance and capacity, reducing total cost of ownership
(TCO) which meets the demands of our growing business, and showcases the
development trend of industries.”
