Veeam will release Availability Suite v9 later in the year, which will be integrated with EMC’s VNX and VNXe hybrid storage arrays.

The company said that by integrating its solution with EMC, enterprise IT will be able to use Veeam Backup from Storage Snapshots to create backups from EMC VNX or VNXe storage snapshots.

By using Veeam’s Explorer, IT will also be able to recover individual items from these storage snapshots in two minutes or less.

Veeam added that the Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots, which enables multiple recovery scenarios, will lead to users experiencing much lower RPOs and lower RTOs with minimal impact on production VMs.

The EMC VNX storage platform combines powerful and flexible hardware with advanced efficiency, management, and protection software, to deliver enterprise capabilities for file and block storage in a scalable solution.

Ratmir Timashev, CEO at Veeam said: "To provide true availability, Veeam is taking full advantage of modern data centre technologies such as virtualisation, cloud and advanced storage technologies like EMC’s VNX and VNXe hybrid flash storage arrays.

"This helps us to further strengthen our enterprise presence, enabling users to create backups from storage snapshots every five minutes and recover any application and data much faster to enable the Always-On Business."
