## Veeam integration with EMC snapshots

Veeam and EMC combine to deliver _Availability for the Modern Data Center._ Get lower RPOs and lower RTOs with Veeam Backup from Storage Snapshots and Veeam ExplorerTM for Storage Snapshots – now integrated with EMC VNX and VNXe hybrid storage arrays.

## Veeam and EMC together provide the following benefits:

* Minimize impact on production VMs
* Rapidly create backups from EMC VNX or VNXe storage snapshots up to 20 times faster than the competition
* Easily recover individual items in two minutes or less, without staging or intermediate steps

## Fast, secure cloud-based disaster recovery

Ensure availability of your mission-critical applications without the cost and complexity of building and maintaining a disaster recovery (DR) site. **Veeam Cloud Connect—now with VM replication** provides fully integrated, fast and secure cloud-based DR through a service provider.

**Advanced image-based VM replication** through Veeam Cloud Connect is simple to set-up and easy-to-use. It includes:
* **A cloud host** for DR with CPU, RAM, storage and networking resource allocation from a service provider
* **Full site failover** to a remote DR site from anywhere with just a few clicks through a secure web portal, and **partial site failover** to instantly switch over to selected VM replicas only.
* Single port connectivity via a **secure, reliable SSL/TLS connection** to a service provider with **traffic encryption** — and much MORE!

## Fast, low-impact backups with EMC, NetApp, HP – and others!

Get fast, low-impact backups and more ways to leverage your storage investments with new primary storage integration with EMC, NetApp, HP – and others! **NEW** Veeam Availability Suite v9 delivers these capabilities with the following new features:

**Direct NFS Access**: Perform VMware backups faster and with reduced impact on your virtual environment by backing up directly from file-based (NFS) primary storage using Veeam’s proprietary NFS client.

**On-Demand Sandbox™ for Storage Snapshots**: Use storage snapshots to create complete isolated copies of your production environment in just a few clicks, for fast and easy testing and troubleshooting – available with VMware vSphere and HP, NetApp, and EMC storage.

**Backup from NetApp SnapMirror and SnapVault**: Completely eliminate the additional impact from backup activities on your production storage by retrieving VM data from SnapMirror or SnapVault secondary storage systems, instead of from the primary storage system.

## Enterprise-level enhancements for Veeam Explorers

Veeam adds Oracle integration with **Veeam Explorer for Oracle** — plus more new enterprise-level enhancements for advanced, granular VM recovery in Veeam Explorers for Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, SharePoint and SQL Server. With **NEW Veeam Availability Suite v9**, Veeam delivers the following new capabilities:

**Veeam Explorer for Oracle** for transaction-level recovery of Oracle databases, including agentless transaction log backup, so you can restore your Oracle databases to a precise point in time.

**New eDiscovery** features for **Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange,** including detailed export reports that allow you to specify exactly what was exported, from where, and with what search criteria.

**Enterprise-level enhancements** including enabling restores of Group Policy Objects, integrated DNS records and configuration partition objects with **Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active Directory,** full-site and site collection restores with **Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SharePoint,** table-level restores with **Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SQL Server** — and more!

**Remote staging server for Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SQL Server and Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SharePoint**, enabling you to perform item-level restores without consuming local backup server resources for staging purposes, so that backup performance requirements can be more easily maintained.
