Veeam Data cloud clarification

[ARycroft]

Hi All,

I am trying to position Veeam Data Cloud, and Veeam Data vault. Please can you clarify why would one need Veeam Data Cloud, or Veeam Vault if one is using Veeam to back up to say Azure or AWS? I believe with Veeam 13 it will be possible to failover a VMware on premise VM to a native Azure VM?

Kind regards
Andrew Rycroft

Hi Andrew,

Vault is part of the Veeam Data Cloud. It's a backup storage service for your own Veeam Backup & Replication server.

If you have local machines (virtual or physical) or AWS EC2 VMs, you can use "Veeam Data Cloud Vault" as backup storage for these workloads with Veeam Backup & Replication.
For workloads on Azure, you can either use our service "Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft Azure" or your own "Veeam Backup & Replication with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure" together with Veeam Data Cloud Vault.

I suggest contacting our Sales team to evaluate the right options for your business requirements.

I believe with Veeam 13 it will be possible to failover a VMware on-premises VM to a native Azure VM?

Today, you can already restore machine backups as native Azure VMs using Restore to Microsoft Azure.
The plan for v13 is to enable Instant Recovery from these machine backups on Veeam Data Cloud Vault as native Azure VMs, allowing you to recover even faster.

Best,
Fabian
