About Veeam Cloud Connect

The Veeam Cloud Connect feature in Veeam Backup & Replication server is a powerful and secure solution that allows businesses to extend their data protection strategy by leveraging cloud-based repositories and disaster recovery services. It integrates seamlessly with Veeam’s on-premises backup infrastructure, enabling organizations to back up, replicate, and restore data in the cloud with ease and confidence.

Veeam Cloud Connect allows you to use a cloud repository as an offsite backup target, enabling the creation of secure offsite backups without the need for a secondary data center. This capability is particularly beneficial for meeting the 3-2-1 backup rule (three copies of your data, on two different media, with one copy offsite).

Key Features

• Easy Setup and Management:
  Cloud repositories are simple to set up through the Veeam Backup & Replication console. Once configured, they function like any other backup repository, allowing for seamless integration into existing backup jobs and policies.
• Data Security:
  Veeam Cloud Connect provides end-to-end encryption to secure data both in transit and at rest. This ensures that backup data is protected from unauthorized access while being transferred to and stored in the cloud. Encryption keys are managed by the customer, maintaining control over the data.
• Tenant Management:
  Tenants can manage their own backups and restores, providing them with control and visibility while ensuring that their data remains private and secure.
• Built-In WAN Acceleration:
  To optimize data transfer speeds over wide area networks (WANs), Veeam Cloud Connect includes built-in WAN acceleration. This feature reduces bandwidth consumption and accelerates the transfer of backup data to the cloud, making it feasible to perform frequent backups even with limited bandwidth. Please contact support if you wish to use this functionality.
• Data Deduplication and Compression:
  Veeam applies advanced deduplication and compression techniques to reduce the amount of data sent over the WAN, further enhancing efficiency and reducing storage costs.
• Scalable Cloud Storage:
  Veeam Cloud Connect is designed to scale as your data grows. Whether you need to increase the capacity of your cloud repository or add new tenants, the platform can easily accommodate your needs without requiring significant infrastructure changes.
• Cross-Platform Support:
  The feature supports a variety of environments, including VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and physical workloads, making it a versatile solution for protecting diverse IT infrastructures.
