Veeam introduced a fully preconfigured software appliance that pairs Veeam backup software with a stripped-down Linux JeOS. The appliance ships as bootable ISO or virtual appliance and runs on industry-standard hardware, virtual machines, or cloud environments. Built-in security includes immutability, Zero Trust access controls, SAML single sign-on, and automatic patching of both the JeOS and backup software. Veeam assumes responsibility for OS maintenance, removing OS patching, configuration, and Windows licensing concerns for IT teams. The appliance supports instant automated recovery to Azure, targets new deployments and edge locations, and avoids hardware lock-in.
Veeam today launched its first fully preconfigured software appliance. The company aims to simplify data protection without compromising flexibility and security. The solution is primarily focused on new implementations and edge locations. Security is a central component of the new appliance. The system features built-in immutability and Zero Trust access controls. Automatic patching of both the JeOS operating system and the backup software should reduce management costs and limit security risks. More about that operating system later.
According to Veeam, the Software Appliance offers a unique feature: instant recovery to Azure. This enables organizations to quickly recover to the cloud in an automated manner. For many companies, this can be an important advantage in disaster recovery scenarios. The solution also supports implementation on existing infrastructure. Organizations can choose between physical servers, virtual machines, or cloud environments, depending on their specific needs.
The new Veeam Software Appliance combines Veeam's backup software with a stripped-down Linux operating system, a "Just Enough OS" (JeOS). This package is delivered as bootable media (ISO) or as a virtual appliance and can run on industry-standard hardware or in a virtual machine. The hardware-agnostic design gives organizations the flexibility to deploy on existing infrastructure or chosen platforms. This allows Veeam to avoid the hardware lock-in that often accompanies traditional appliance solutions.
