Veeam Integration

• Integration :

– eliminates manual snapshot mount, which can be problem prone due to human errors

– provides capabilities to catalog Nimble snapshots and ability to backup to other media, physical, virtual, or cloud.

• Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots (VESS)

– orchestrate Nimble snapshot backup & recovery from either primary or secondary array, allowing you to layer a snapshot strategy on top of yourbackup strategy to provide lower RPOs and RTOs.

– allows you to restore entire VMs or individual items. It offers the same restoration capabilities from crash-consistent array based snapshots as Veeam does for application-consistent snapshots.

• On-Demand Sandbox for Storage Snapshots

– allows you to create an isolated environment on the DR side and power up VMs directly from snapshots into this environment ad-hoc. Great use case for Test/Dev or testing recovery and/or DR
