Veeam Backups & Replication
Veeam Backup & Replication offers market-leading functionality for modern data protection. One of the challenges in utilizing the full feature set of Veeam solutions is providing a scalable, cost-effective Capacity tier for backup files in a multi-tier backup strategy. Cloud-based solutions are scalable, but costs compound over time and are challenging to predict because of the way data is written. Another challenge is guaranteeing consistent data transfer speeds and security to guarantee backups happen in a timely fashion and data retention abides by certain regulations such as GDPR. To protect against ransomware, longer retention backup files should be immutable (that is, not subject to change or deletion). The solution is DataCore Swarm. Swarm provides a secure, durable, and cost-effective software-defined object storage solution for the Capacity tier in your Veeam Scale-Out Backup Repository.
Swarm Object Storage
Swarm is a secure, durable, scalable, and S3-compatible storage with multi-tenancy. With Swarm object storage, you can store more backups, spend less time managing storage, and reduce storage spending while guaranteeing backups are continually safeguarded and instantly available a month, a year, or even a decade from now. The on-premises alternative removes concerns over unexpected cloud charges and potential GDPR violations by keeping backup data within your data center.
Swarm’s logical and extensible multi-tenancy enables providing a backup target with custom capacity, access, and data protection policies for any number of applications, employees, or subscribers.
Swarm works seamlessly with Veeam backup technologies serving as a scalable and resilient capacity tier for your backup infrastructure. It is qualified Veeam Ready as an object storage repository and as an object storage repository with immutability.
