For instant download of white paper from ESG The False Promises of Virtualization please visit the link above.

Veeam has rallied around server virtualization and built solutions that extend the benefits of virtualization into the business in addition to helping organizations scale deployments with confidence. Veeam recognizes that server virtualization is a top priority for IT and is working with leading server virtualization technology partners to better serve the IT community with management and data protection software designed to reduce costs, increase productivity, and mitigate risk.
Veeams solutions include:

Data protection and disaster recovery, which provide native support for advanced functionality in server virtualization platform integration. Veeam combines backup and data replication into a single product, making it easier to consume and deploy for IT administrators.

Monitoring and reporting tools that provide data collection and analytics to discover, document, and report on virtualized infrastructure. The solutions also include performance monitoring, capacity planning, and troubleshooting—all of which are key components to any virtualization investment.

Management connectors that bridge the gap between VMware virtual infrastructure and enterprise systems management tools from Microsoft and HP. These management connecters integrate with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager and HP Operation Manager.

Businesses are finding themselves falling short of initial virtualization goals and promises. They can quickly achieve the benefits of consolidation and improved resource utilization, but end up hitting roadblocks that have the potential to rapidly degrade the benefits of any investments. Arming IT with tools to help deliver further efficiency and optimization of the virtualization platform can certainly prove to be a worthy investment.
