Overview
Leading the Way in Small Business Data Protection
Veeam Data Platform Essentials delivers powerful, easy-to-use, and affordable backup, recovery, monitoring and reporting for up to 50 virtual, physical, and cloud workloads — all from a single platform. Veeam Data Platform v12.3 is leading the way in data protection through cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Entra ID to keep your business running, while mitigating cyberthreats, cyber attackers, and even human error.
Cyberattacks are targeting your data protection platforms and backups. The Veeam 2024 Ransomware Trends report noted that 96% of backup repositories are targeted during ransomware attacks, clearly showing that backup data is also an encryption target during cyberthreats. As such, more must be done to ensure that backups — a company’s best and often last line of defense — remain protected. Veeam Data Platform Essentials protects more than just VMware, we also protect Proxmox VE, Nutanix AHV, and Hyper-V so that organizations like yours can rest easy knowing their data is secure.
