TruScale Backup with Veeam is a data backup and recovery solution that protects all workloads, whether they’re on-premises, in a hybrid environment, or in the public cloud. Available as a subscription, the solution orchestrates the backup and recovery process, efficiently secures backups of critical data, and allows safe data restoration in the event of a security breach or cyberattack. 

This relieves IT teams of the burden of designing, implementing, and maintaining data storage. It also gives businesses peace of mind, knowing they are protected with one simple, scalable, pay-as-you-use solution. The solution combines Lenovo appliances with Veeam Data Platform to deliver a backup subscription service specifically designed to reduce IT complexity in today’s on-premises and multi-cloud environments.

The solution is deployed on-premises, at the customer site or in a co-location facility. It includes Lenovo ThinkSystem’s industry-leading storage, server, and hyper converged infrastructure, and the use of Veeam's backup and replication software.

It’s simple – TruScale Backup with Veeam is compatible with any data source, whether it’s a Lenovo unit, the cloud, or hardware from another provider. This dramatically simplifies backup for organizations using infrastructure from multiple legacy solutions.

Compared to many cloud-based solutions, TruScale Backup with Veeam can offer a completely different level of data sovereignty. As an on-premises solution, Lenovo and Veeam’s operating agreement doesn’t grant third parties access to the data in any circumstances.

The solution is priced based on points consumed, and the cost includes everything from the Lenovo infrastructure to the use of Veeam software, along with backup copies of the data.

The service agreement offers optimal flexibility, allowing customers to backup data from any source. This is a significant benefit, as many other service providers on the market require customers to choose what they want to back up in advance, making it challenging to adapt and scale the solution to meet changing requirements.

Inefficient data management, with a siloed approach to compute, storage, and networking, can increase costs and limit the agility needed to leverage data-driven initiatives. Moreover, poor data security opens room for malicious activity, putting operations at risk from attacks. TruScale with Veeam can help overcome these challenges by enabling efficient workload consolidation, consistent and reliable access to business-critical data, and better control over your evolving backup requirements to help you optimize your resources. Research by IDC proves this, which shows Veeam users enjoy 329% three-year ROI and a 77% improvement in response time.

With TruScale Backup with Veeam, you can create copies of the backed-up data at no additional cost to meet any RPOs regarding secondary, tertiary, or scale-out repositories. This helps you meet the 3-2-1-1-0 rule for best practice regarding data storage. You can have at least three copies of the data on two platforms, in addition to one copy in an offsite location, one of which is air-gapped or immutable, and zero errors. This speeds up disaster recovery, ensuring you are fully protected with multiple copies if you need to retrieve data.

Customers can monitor their backups in real time through Veeam’s Self-Service Backup portal. This makes it easy to gain useful insight into the management of their data and optimize control, including the VM and file restore.
