Linux remains the go-to choice for the cloud, with 75 percent of enterprises reporting they use Linux as their primary cloud platform. Existing solutions often require a manual process to execute or are complex and expensive, which means the availability of many of these Linux servers is at risk.
“Backing up and recovering Linux servers is often a complicated and costly process, frequently needing manual intervention or consuming too much of an IT administrator’s time. Moreover, as hybrid cloud increasingly becomes the industry standard and more enterprises look to run more workloads in the public cloud, it is important to ensure that these public cloud server instances are backed up and can be recovered easily and quickly in order to ensure availability and avoid business disruption. The Veeam community has asked us for an easy to use tool to ensure the availability of their Linux cloud instances and restore them anywhere. We are not only meeting this need for them, but are also adding it to the Veeam portfolio of free tools for the IT community that solve real challenges.” said Doug Hazelman, Vice President of Product Strategy at Veeam.
