Data Resiliency in a Box: Veeam's Commitment to Zero Data Loss

VARINDIA explored the data protection strategies Veeam adopts and the India specific initiatives, in a chit chat with Mr. Sandeep Bhambure, VP & MD, Veeam India & SAARC

Veeam's strategy for zero data loss is centered around five key pillars: data protection, data recovery, data security, data portability, and artificial intelligence. These elements work in tandem to provide businesses with an end-to-end solution for safeguarding their critical information.
Data Protection: Organizations invest heavily in securing their data, and Veeam ensures that data is protected at all times with the most advanced backup and recovery mechanisms.

Data Recovery: Veeam enables businesses to restore data at the click of a button, ensuring that operations resume seamlessly.
Data Security: In alignment with Zero Trust architecture, Veeam enhances security by enabling immutable backups and preventing cyber threats from corrupting stored data. 

Data Portability: With 75% of organizations facing ransomware attacks in the past year, the ability to recover data from an immutable copy is critical. Veeam ensures that data can be restored to a hosted site, a secondary location, or even a hyperscaler cloud environment, making recovery flexible and efficient.
Artificial Intelligence: Veeam has integrated AI into its platform to detect malware proactively, automate recovery, and ensure that reinfections do not occur during the restoration process.

Disaster Recovery Without Disruptions

One of the primary concerns for organizations is ensuring disaster recovery testing without affecting production workloads. At the time of recovery, businesses fear reinfection of their clean data, with studies showing that 56% of companies worry about recovering compromised files. Veeam mitigates this by offering an isolated sandbox to test immutable backups for malware using AI-powered detection like inline entropy analysis, ensuring secure restoration.

Industries like healthcare, finance, and manufacturing rely on Veeam to prevent breaches. Companies such as Mahindra & Mahindra, Hero MotoCorp, and MIT University have strengthened data resiliency, cutting recovery windows by 50% and reducing costs. Veeam ensures seamless, secure recovery, safeguarding business continuity with advanced data protection solutions. 

Best Practices for CSOs
As enterprises shift from VMware to alternate hypervisors, migration complexity remains a challenge. Veeam simplifies this with a universally restorable backup format, enabling seamless workload migration across Hyper-V, cloud, or physical servers with minimal effort.

Data protection is now a boardroom priority, driving collaboration between CSOs and CIOs. Veeam’s Zero Trust-aligned solutions integrate security and backup, ensuring compliance and resilience. A common myth is that cloud workloads don’t need backups, yet Microsoft and AWS recommend third-party protection. Veeam safeguards data across on-prem, hybrid, and cloud environments, ensuring continuous availability and rapid recovery.

The $15 Billion Powerhouse
Valued at nearly $15 billion with $1.7 billion in annual recurring revenue, Veeam leads global data resiliency. Outpacing Commvault, Rubrik, and Cohesity, Veeam’s hardware-agnostic, AI-driven approach ensures seamless disaster recovery and security. Its flexible, software-defined solutions make it the top choice for enterprises seeking robust data protection.

Veeam, recognized by IDC as India’s top data resiliency company, is committed to Viksit Bharat through its Cyber Suraksha campaign. With R&D investments in Bangalore, academic collaborations, scholarships, compliance guidance, and industry best practices like 32110, Veeam ensures businesses stay secure, driving a more resilient and secure Bharat.

As organizations navigate an increasingly complex digital landscape, Veeam continues to lead the way in ensuring that no business suffers from data loss. Whether combating ransomware, securing cloud workloads, or enabling effortless migrations, Veeam’s commitment to data resiliency remains unwavering, proving that true data protection is indeed "Data Resiliency in a Box."
