Backup / Restore to Cloud Storage with Veeam and CloudArray software

Disk-to-Cloud Backup Solution using Veeam ™ and CloudArray ™ software for VMware ® virtualized server environments

Overview
The following presentation provides a functional overview on:
How Veeam Backup & Replication software and CloudArray work seamlessly together to protect VMware ESX and ESXi environments
3-year TCO summary on CloudArray vs. existing backup and replication solutions supporting an economic and highly reliable storage tier for offsite data backup and replication without the logistics and cost of tape transport
Details for a Free 30-day evaluation of CloudArray software

Example Environment
2 physical hosts and 14 virtual machines on VMware ESX servers
Veeam implemented as the backup and replication solution
Initial backup targets: tape and offsite tape storage
Solution implemented as new backup / restore target for Veeam:
CloudArray software
Cloud storage providers
