Veeam Backup & Replication to support Microsoft hyper-V
Veeam to provide 2-in-1 backup and replication for multi-hypervisor
environments

Microsoft Tech.Ed, Atlanta, May 16, 2011 - Veeam Software, innovative
provider of VMware data protection
<http://www.veeam.com/vmware-esx-backup.html> , disaster recovery
<http://www.veeam.com/vmware-esx-backup.html>  and VMware management
<http://www.veeam.com/one-vmware-management.html>  solutions for virtual
datacenter environments, today announced at Tech.Ed North America that it is
adding support for Windows Server Hyper-V and Microsoft Hyper-V Server to
Veeam Backup & Replication <http://www.veeam.com/vmware-esx-backup.html> T,
the leading data protection solution for virtual environments used with more
than 1.5 million virtual machines (VMs) worldwide.

Veeam Backup & Replication provides cost-effective, easy-to-use and
comprehensive image-based data protection designed specifically for virtual
environments. By extending support to Hyper-V, Veeam is providing:
*       2-in-1 backup and replication for Hyper-V: Veeam's solution includes
replication, which provides near-continuous data protection (near-CDP) and
enables the best possible recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTOs
and RPOs).

*       Changed block tracking for Hyper-V: Veeam's new hypervisor support
includes technology for changed block tracking to enable fast, frequent and
efficient backup and replication of all VMs, including those running on
Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV).

*       Built-in deduplication and compression: Included at no extra charge,
these capabilities minimize consumption of network bandwidth and backup
storage.

"Our customers and partners are increasingly asking about Hyper-V support,"
said Ratmir Timashev, President and CEO of Veeam. "With 2-in-1 backup and
replication, changed block tracking and built-in deduplication, Veeam will
provide Hyper-V administrators with a complete solution for
virtualization-based data protection and disaster recovery that is
easy-to-use and cost-effective. Soon, organizations using Hyper-V will be
able to achieve RPOs and RTOs with reduced cost, effort and risk."

"A multi-hypervisor environment is a reality for many organizations," said
David Greschler, Director of Virtualization and Cloud Strategy for
Microsoft. "Veeam adds its backup and replication expertise to Microsoft
Hyper-V, enhancing the ability of organizations to manage their
multi-hypervisor environment in a consistent and cost-effective manner."

"Recent ESG research found that more than 70% of virtualization survey
respondents cite the use of more than one hypervisor," said Lauren
Whitehouse, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "Having a single
solution that's designed to back up, replicate and restore multiple virtual
environments increases reliability, speed and management effectiveness."

"Multi-hypervisor environments are quickly becoming the norm, not the
exception, and that poses serious management challenges to IT
organizations," said Ashish Nadkarni, Senior Analyst and Consultant at
Taneja Group. "IT managers need to select virtualization management
solutions, including backup and replication solutions, that can work with
more than one hypervisor."

Availability
Veeam Backup & Replication for Microsoft Hyper-V is being demonstrated this
week in booth #715 at Tech.Ed and will be available to customers in the
fourth quarter of 2011.
