Situation Publishing ☛ Veeam rolls out Linux-based backup software appliance
Veeam has introduced a backup software appliance to make it easier to deploy, install, and operate its Data Platform backup and cyber-resilience product on physical or virtual servers, on-premises and in the cloud.
This Veeam Software Appliance is delivered as a pre-configured, bootable ISO image or as a virtual appliance, and runs on a hardened, Veeam-managed, Linux-based “Just Enough OS” (JeOS), optimized for security best practices and maintained automatically, eliminating most patching and configuration tasks. It is x86 server hardware-agnostic, meaning no hardware supplier lock-in and, Veeam says, lower costs than purchasing a combined hardware-software appliance.
