Common tech underlies Veeam, Pure Storage team-up for full data snapshots

Both #Veeam and #PureStorage technologies were built on the latest virtualization techniques, and this has let them move faster than some of their competitors in adding value to customers, according to the duo. “Traditional backup software had to come into virtualization after the fact, so it’s retrofitted for virtualization, whereas Veeam started with virtualization — and if you look at Pure, it’s a similar history,” Rajavasireddy said. With the right technical foundation, the two companies are in a position to quickly respond to the demands of customers, the latest of which is full snapshot support on a Pure Storage-based solution. “We hear a lot of customers asking for native snapshot integration with Pure Storage, so that’s what we announced today. We’re in the lab working through development right now. We provided the APIs to Pure, and our target is to get full snapshot integration out in GA sometime shortly after our version 10 hits the market,” Vandeveld said.
