Veeam CDP

What is Veeam CDP?
"Continuous data protection, also called continuous backup or real-time backup, refers to backup of computer data by automatically saving a copy of every change made to that data, essentially capturing every version of the data that the user saves." (Source)

• Achieve the most demanding recovery SLAs with minimal data loss with instant failover to the latest state or point-in-time at a granularity as low as 2-10 seconds

• Managed from the same easy-to-use console without the need for specialized training   

• Flexible component deployment options across physical or virtual environments that make the most of your infrastructure (no workload or hardware dependency)

• No VM Snapshot

• Policy-based approach

• No additional licensing costs allowing you to focus the saved spend on other IT initiatives

• Instantly fail over to the latest state or point in time with ultra-low RPO granularity

• Eliminate cumbersome, disconnected point products that add complexity and cost

• Customize RPOs and deployment options that actually help meet your recovery objectives

"We have entered an era where critical business applications require a higher, more reliable level of protection. With Veeam CDP in Veeam Backup & Replication v11, organizations can use a policy-driven approach to protect Tier One applications with per-second RPOs stretching across a defined replication window. From there, those workloads can be recovered quickly and with minimal loss of data, ensuring business continuity is met and potential loss of reputation is avoided"
