Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS):

Affordable and efficient cloud-based disaster recovery (DR)

Veeam enables Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) as part of a comprehensive availability strategy, embracing investments made in your datacenter and extending them through the hybrid cloud.

Affordable and efficient image-based replication delivers cloud-based disaster recovery for ALL applications (RTPO < 15 minutes) through the best and most trusted DRaaS providers across the globe.

The problem with DRaaS today

The Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) market gets a lot of buzz, but end users tell us it's hard to do. Many of the products in the market today offer a DRaaS solution in addition to, or separate from, an overall data protection strategy, often pulling the focus of IT away from their current datacenter investments and momentum. These solutions add an additional layer of management complexity, and often leave businesses uncertain that they can actually recover if something goes terribly wrong.

Veeam enables DRaaS

Veeam defines DRaaS, by offering it as part of a comprehensive availability strategy, providing a consistent user experience and reducing overall cost to protect your data (backup + replication + cloud). Veeam delivers:

• Affordable and efficient, imaged-based replication for true DR - RTPO
• Simple, straightforward licensing and pricing - Included for end customers and monthly rental by the VM for service providers
• DR for any workload - Efficient, cost-effective and storage, application and OS-agnostic
• Advanced networking capabilities - Veeam handles the networking for you without any complex setup or VPN - one of the biggest challenges of DR testing and failover

Affordable and efficient cloud-based disaster recovery

Veeam Cloud Connect makes it easy, simple and transparent for service providers to offer DRaaS, and Veeam customers to take advantage of it. This way IT departments can truly leverage the benefits of hybrid cloud architecture without sacrificing that critical direct line of communication and personal relationship with the DRaaS provider. IT departments then have the ability to shift this responsibility to a service provider they know and trust, while retaining the ability to configure and consume the service the way they want.

Veeam Cloud Connect - with advanced, image-based VM replication - provides fully integrated, fast and secure cloud-based DR through a service provider.

Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) Program:

How do you enable your customers' Always-On Enterprise?

In today's connected world, your customers operate 24x7 with little tolerance for downtime or data loss. Now you can enable their Always-On Enterprise with award-winning software from Veeam.

Join the 12,400 VMware vCAN (formerly VSPP), Microsoft SPLA and other service providers that are already part of the Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) program.

Expanded usage rights

If you're looking to use Veeam in your hosting environment or to provide Veeam-powered BDR services, the first step is to join the VCSP program. While the Veeam EULA (end user license agreement) limits usage of Veeam software to your own data, VCSP membership and licenses remove this restriction. So you can use Veeam products - including free Veeam products - to deliver services to your customers.

Here are a few examples of how VCSP partners are using their expanded usage rights:

• Hosted VMs protected with Veeam: including infrastructure (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS).
• Hosted applications protected with Veeam: including software-as-a-service (SaaS) and offerings from application service providers (ASPs).
• Business services running on VMs protected with Veeam: such as sales tax processing, ecommerce, document delivery, etc.

Zero competition from Veeam

Today, many customers want to utilize the cloud for backup and disaster recovery (BDR), and others want to offload BDR to a service provider all together. Veeam's strategy is to partner with cloud and service providers, who are the true experts in delivering cloud and managed services. Therefore, we don't offer our own cloud or managed services, instead we enable you to.

Huge market opportunity

Veeam is used by more than 205,000 organizations around the world to protect more than 11.8 million VMs. Many of these organizations - and the resellers they rely on - are looking to extend their on-premises deployments of Veeam to the cloud. This represents a huge opportunity for service providers to partner with Veeam to provide:

• Cloud repositories for off-site backups - demand for cloud backup is on the rise, and Veeam is the ideal way for you to participate - and succeed - in this fast-growing market. Learn more about Veeam Cloud Connect Backup for Service Providers.
• Cloud hosts for off-site VM replicas - leverage Veeam's growing market presence and latest technology to grow - or start - your disaster recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS) business. Learn more about Veeam Cloud Connect Replication for Service Providers.

Extreme flexibility

Deploy where needed
You can deploy Veeam backup infrastructure (servers, proxies, repositories, etc.) wherever you need to - including on customer-owned hardware. You simply license Veeam for each VM to protected, and deploy Veeam components as needed, with no additional license fees.

Choose OPEX, CAPEX or both
Veeam offers both monthly rental and perpetual VCSP licenses so that you can choose the licensing option that best fits your business model. Choose from all rental, all perpetual or a mix of both. For example, use rental licenses for the variable part of your business and perpetual licenses for long-term contracts.

Free to join, no obligation to buy. Your level in this tiered program is determined by the number of VMs that you protect or manage with Veeam. Even if you decide you do not want to license Veeam at this time, you're welcome to join the program and use Veeam's free toolsin your service offerings.
