Veeam Availability Suite v8 provides several new features to improve availability, recovery, and backup capabilities for modern datacenters. Key features include instant file-level recovery that can restore individual files without restoring the full VM first, universal application-item recovery that allows restoring individual items from any application, and on-demand sandbox capabilities for testing application recoveries. The release also improves backup speeds up to 50x faster with WAN acceleration and reduces recovery times to under 2 minutes with instant VM recovery capabilities.
