How many times has DNS been the problem? Well, Veeam Explorer for Active Directory’s Compare with Production capability may be a way to help you see if there have been changes in DNS. This is so easy to use, check out this video explaining how this works:You can also watch my Veeam Live session on Application recovery as well (have to register there however)​​​​

Supply Chain vs. Data Portability: More Important Than Ever

This week I had the opportunity to do a presentation at a nice executive briefing with a number of our key partners and customers. I love hearing from the field and it is nice to have those authentic conversations.I also like to know what is the latest from other brands in the industry. I live and breathe backup, but like all technology. One of the presentations today was around networking hardware solutions. The first 15 minutes of the presentation were focused on explaining the delays in confirming part availability, lead times with products, supply chain challenges with various materials and components. I’m sure some of these challenges exist across the board in enterprise and consumer IT devices.Right at that moment it dawned on my how awesome Veeam is in this current conditions. Software-Defined, Hardware Agnostic and Cloud-Ready. This is more valuable than ever as it dawned on me that Veeam has from the start taken Data Portability very seriously. Consider some of these capabilit

What is Innovation to you?

I want to draw your attention to a recent piece of news about the Veeam Innovation Awards (VIA).This is a really important thing to Veeam, and I recommend you read JBuff’s post:  https://www.veeam.com/blog/innovation-awards-2021-nominations.html The important of innovation is rather attractive as it closes the gap between the art of the possible and the stark realities of the criticality of data that Veeam protects. Whether you are a Veeam customer or a Veeam partner you can nominate for the VIA’s and raise the profile of Innovation in your view. I’d really encourage you to think about nominations, this isn’t just a news effort, its a legit review of the offerings and implementations we see. In fact, the Product Strategy team (the team I’m on) gets to vote on the entries! I really enjoy that task.What is also more interesting is the hardware. Odd coming from a software company, but the hardware of the prize. Previous VIA winners have trophies like this! Begin your nomination here!https
