Veeam has recently released Veeam Data Cloud Vault. This service allows users to securely store their backup data off-site, while ensuring the data remains immutable and encrypted at all times. This provides an extra layer of protection for critical information, ensuring its integrity and security. The Veeam Vault is a pre-configured and fully managed cloud storage resource on Microsoft Azure that can be leveraged to store, manage, and access data in a predictably priced subscription model. The priced subscription model is based on a flat fee per TB of data, eliminating unexpected charges related to bill shock.
