Veeam Software, a provider of Data Protection and Ransomware Recovery, has teamed up with global technology powerhouse Lenovo to launch Lenovo TruScale Backup with Veeam. The solution provides a cloud-like experience on-premises, securing workloads regardless of their location and enabling customers to scale infrastructure as needed.
TruScale Backup with Veeam integrates Lenovo ThinkSystem servers and storage, Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam ONE, and Lenovo TruScale services.Together the offerings provide hassle-free, on-premises, or co-located deployment of Data Protection as a Service (DPaaS). For customers this reduces recovery times, simplifies IT complexity, and maintains data sovereignty, ensuring critical data is always secure and recoverable.
“Businesses already have enough challenges when scaling their infrastructure quickly. TruScale Backup with Veeam brings them simplicity, not only in reducing IT complexity, but also helps ensure their data is protected and under their governance no matter where it is located. With Veeam’s No. 1 data protection and ransomware recovery, our joint customers can spend their time focused on running their business,” said John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at Veeam.
In today's complex IT landscape, reliable backup and data recovery are paramount, especially with the increasing threat of cyberattacks. Gartner predicts that by 2028, 75% of large enterprises will adopt Backup as a Service (BaaS), up from 15% in 2024.
A January 2023 IDC survey also revealed that 47% of respondents were using on-premises Storage as a Service (STaaS), with another 32% planning to adopt it within the year. The primary drivers were the need to burst storage capacity on demand and speed up storage deployment.
TruScale Backup with Veeam allows businesses to efficiently protect their critical data and quickly restore it in the event of a cyberattack. The service supports the 3-2-1-1-0 best practice for data security, enabling customers to create multiple copies of their backups at no additional cost. This approach helps meet desired Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) with zero errors in backups.
“Lenovo’s TruScale Backup with Veeam is a strong choice for Backup as a Service for several reasons. Not only does it give customers the tactical advantage of ransomware protection with immutability by default, but TruScale provides right-sizing of the solution from the start, with cloud-like economics to scale up and down on demand. We’re happy to collaborate with Veeam to bring these benefits and more to our customers,” said Dale Aultman, Vice President & General Manager, Hybrid Cloud Services at Lenovo.
