Veeam Availability Suite – 1 Socket Subscription with Backup & Recovery Essentials

Experience comprehensive data protection with Veeam Availability Suite – 1 Socket Subscription with Backup & Recovery Essentials. This all-in-one solution blends powerful backup, rapid recovery, and proactive monitoring into a single license model designed for virtualization-heavy environments. With a 1-socket subscription, you gain scalable protection for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments, plus reliable recovery options for physical and cloud workloads. The suite combines the reliability of Backup & Replication with the visibility of monitoring and analytics, helping IT teams minimize downtime, meet recovery objectives, and optimize operational efficiency.

Designed for modern data centers, this edition delivers unified protection across virtual machines, physical servers, and cloud resources. The integration of backup, replication, and monitoring into one cohesive platform simplifies management, accelerates recovery, and reduces the total cost of ownership. Whether you’re safeguarding mission-critical workloads, ensuring business continuity, or improving service levels for end users, the 1-socket subscription provides a flexible, scalable path to availability at a predictable price point.

• Unified protection across your environment. This solution combines robust backup and replication with proactive monitoring and analytics, delivering a single pane of glass for managing availability. With everything in one license, you avoid silos and complicated licensing for virtualization, physical servers, and cloud workloads, enabling simpler governance and faster decision making.
• 1-socket licensing for predictable growth. Ideal for small to mid-size deployments, the subscription is scoped to one physical CPU socket, offering straightforward capacity planning and upgrade paths as your virtualization footprint expands. The licensing model scales with your needs, reducing risk while maintaining strong data protection coverage.
• Fast, reliable recovery you can trust. The suite emphasizes rapid restores, including instant VM recovery and application-consistent restores. In addition to quick VM recovery, granular restores at the file and application level help you meet stringent recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) without lengthy downtime.
• End-to-end visibility with proactive monitoring. Veeam ONE provides real-time dashboards, capacity planning, performance analytics, and alerting. This visibility enables IT teams to anticipate bottlenecks, optimize resources, and ensure the health of the entire data protection stack—from backups to replicas to failover readiness.
• Flexible workload protection for diverse environments. Protect virtual machines in VMware and Hyper-V, with options for physical servers and cloud-integrated workloads. This hybrid approach supports on-premises data centers and cloud extensions, giving you the freedom to protect workloads wherever they reside while maintaining consistent recovery capabilities.
