The 1 Socket scope is ideal for mid-market or distributed setups, and it can scale across nodes, clusters, and hybrid deployments, delivering consistent protection as your data footprint expands.
• Cloud and virtualization-first strategy—Seamless integration with virtualization platforms (VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V) and native cloud protection options makes DR to the cloud a first-class capability. You can replicate to remote sites or public clouds, perform cloud-tiering for long-term retention, and test recovery scenarios in a sandboxed environment without impacting production systems.
• Proactive visibility, compliance, and automation—Veeam ONE delivers end-to-end monitoring, reporting, and capacity planning, enabling proactive health checks and compliance adherence. The Enterprise Subscription supports automated backup verification, dashboards, alarms, and capacity alerts that help you stay ahead of issues before they affect operations.
