Veeam Availability Suite Enterprise 1 Socket Subscription | Cloud & On-Prem Backup

Veeam Availability Suite Enterprise 1 Socket Subscription delivers enterprise-grade data protection across cloud and on‑premises environments. Built to minimize downtime, maximize recovery speed, and provide complete visibility into every layer of your IT infrastructure, this license fits organizations seeking scalable protection without large upfront investments. By combining the powerful backup, replication, and orchestration capabilities of Veeam Backup & Replication with the comprehensive monitoring, reporting, and analytics of Veeam ONE, you gain a unified solution designed for hybrid deployments, multi-cloud strategies, and the evolving needs of modern enterprises. A single 1-socket subscription unlocks flexible deployment across virtual machines, physical servers, and cloud workloads, empowering IT teams to safeguard workloads with confidence and clarity.

• Unified protection for hybrid infrastructure: Protect virtual machines (VMs) on VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper‑V, physical servers, workstations, NAS shares, and cloud instances from a single, centralized interface. This consolidation enables consistent backup policies, unified recovery workflows, and simplified management across the entire environment, eliminating silos and reducing the time to restore critical services during outages.

  With instant VM recovery, you can boot a failed VM directly from a backup until a full restore is completed, dramatically shortening RTOs. SureBackup and SureReplica provide automated verification and testing of backups and replicas, ensuring recoverability without disrupting production workloads. The result is a resilient, auditable protection strategy that keeps business services online even in disruptive scenarios.

• Advanced recovery capabilities for rapid downtime avoidance: The suite combines rapid recovery options—instant VM recovery, replica failover, and tested failover plans—with rigorous recovery testing. This empowers IT teams to meet strict service-level agreements (SLAs) and regulatory requirements while maintaining operational continuity. With consistent replication and testing workflows, you can verify recoverability in a sandboxed environment before failing over to production.

• Intelligent monitoring and capacity planning: Veeam ONE delivers real-time monitoring, automated alerts, and comprehensive reporting across your protected environment. Track performance, capacity utilization, configuration changes, and potential risk indicators through intuitive dashboards. Proactive insights help you optimize resource use, plan future expansion, and avoid bottlenecks before they impact service levels.

• Storage efficiency and scalable data movement: The solution leverages deduplication, compression, and WAN acceleration to reduce bandwidth consumption and storage costs while maintaining fast backup windows. Scale-out Backup Repositories (SOBR) and Cloud Tier options enable you to consolidate storage across on‑premises and multi-cloud locations, ensuring efficient backup data management and cost-effective long-term retention.

• Flexible licensing and cloud integration: The 1-socket subscription provides predictable licensing that scales with your environment. It supports seamless deployment across on-premises data centers and public cloud targets, including cloud backups to widely adopted cloud services. Built‑in integration with Veeam Cloud Connect and cloud-native storage options gives you a broad, future-proofed path to disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) and offsite protection.

How to install Veeam Availability Suite Enterprise 1 Socket Subscription

• Prerequisites and planning: Review your hardware resources, virtualization platforms, storage targets, and network topology. Ensure you have a valid 1-socket license key, confirm operating system compatibility, and prepare a backup repository with sufficient I/O capacity. Determine the recovery objectives (RPOs and RTOs) for critical workloads to tailor backup jobs and replication schedules accordingly.

• Provision the core components: Install the Veeam Backup & Replication server to manage backups, replicas, and restore workflows. Install the Veeam ONE server (or deployment equivalent) to enable advanced monitoring, reporting, and capacity planning. If you utilize SQL Server for the Veeam configuration database, set up the database server according to best practices.

• License and configuration: Apply the 1-socket subscription license and register the product with your license portal. Connect the solution to your virtual and physical infrastructure, adding vCenter Server, Hyper‑V hosts, and physical servers as protected sources. Create or import backup repositories (local disk, NAS, or object storage) and configure a Scale-out Backup Repository to optimize storage usage.

• Define protection groups and backup jobs: Establish backup, replication, and testing jobs aligned with your RPO targets. Schedule incremental backups, set retention policies, and enable application-aware processing for consistent backups of mission-critical databases and applications. Configure SureBackup jobs to automatically verify recoverability of protected VMs.

• Monitoring, testing, and ongoing optimization: Enable Veeam ONE alerts, dashboards, and reports to monitor health and performance. Regularly review capacity planning views to anticipate growth and rebalance storage. Periodically run planned failover tests and disaster recovery drills to validate readiness and identify improvement opportunities.

• Security and governance: Enforce role-based access control (RBAC), enable encryption at rest and in transit where supported, and establish auditable change control for backup and restore operations to meet compliance requirements.

Frequently asked questions

• What is Veeam Availability Suite Enterprise 1 Socket Subscription? It is a comprehensive data protection solution that combines Veeam Backup & Replication with Veeam ONE, licensed per single CPU socket, providing backup, replication, monitoring, and analytics for hybrid environments that include virtual, physical, and cloud workloads.
