Veeam Foundation Capacity Pack – 4-Year License with 1 TB Increments & 24/7 Production Support

Unlock enterprise-grade data protection with a scalable, future-ready license designed for installations and production environments. The Veeam Foundation Capacity Pack delivers a four-year subscription that scales in 1 TB increments, paired with around-the-clock production support to safeguard your most critical data workloads. Built for predictable budgeting and seamless growth, this capacity-based solution keeps your backup, replication, and disaster-recovery capabilities resilient in the face of growing data volumes. With upfront billing for renewals and a clear path to expand capacity as your needs evolve, you gain peace of mind knowing your data protection platform remains robust, compliant, and ready to respond 24/7.

• Scalable, capacity-based protection for growth: The Capacity Pack is designed to grow with your business. Add 1 TB increments to your license to align protection capacity with data growth, without reconfiguring your entire backup strategy. This approach preserves your existing backup jobs and recovery workflows while expanding capacity to meet expanding datasets, improving scalability without sacrificing performance or reliability. By tying licensing to usable capacity rather than a fixed point count, you can budget with confidence as your data footprint expands across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.
• Four-year license horizon with upfront renewal billing: Benefit from a long-term licensing arrangement that stabilizes spend and reduces renewal friction. The four-year term is paired with upfront renewal billing, enabling financial planning and budgeting for the entire lifecycle of the deployment. This arrangement minimizes interruption and ensures continuous access to updates, security improvements, and production-ready features, so your protection stack stays current without unexpected cost spikes.
• 24/7 Production support for continuous protection: This Foundation Capacity Pack includes round-the-clock production support, ensuring expert assistance when you need it most. In mission-critical environments, timely guidance and rapid issue resolution are essential to maintain RPO/RTO targets. With 24/7 coverage, you can recover faster from failures, mitigate downtime, and safeguard business continuity, even during off-hours or peak operational periods.
• Installations and production environments tuned for reliability: The pack is purpose-built for installations plus production workloads, delivering robust backup, replication, and restore capabilities. Expect consistent performance across backup windows, reduced job failures, and streamlined DR testing. Whether safeguarding virtual machines, physical servers, or cloud-based assets, the capacity-based licensing supports a wide range of workloads with industry-leading recovery options and ransomware protection features.
• Predictable licensing at the capacity level you need: The 1 TB increment model provides clear, predictable scaling. As data volumes grow, you simply add another increment to expand capacity without disrupting existing backup plans. This clarity helps IT teams forecast costs, align with governance requirements, and maintain a resilient protection posture across all layers of the IT stack, from endpoints to the data center and cloud repositories.

How to Install Veeam Foundation Capacity Pack

• Prepare your environment: Confirm that your target installations meet the prerequisites for Veeam backup and replication, including compatible hypervisors, storage configurations, and network readiness. Ensure you have active support coverage and the necessary licensing details for the Capacity Pack, including your 1 TB increment plan and renewal schedule.
• Activate the license: Access the Veeam licensing portal or your authorized reseller portal to apply the Capacity Pack license. Input the appropriate SKU or activation key that corresponds to your 1 TB increment and four-year term. Complete any required verification steps to enable production protection across your installations and workloads.
• Allocate storage capacity: Plan and allocate the initial 1 TB increment to your backup repositories, ensuring sufficient bandwidth and I/O capacity for backup windows. Map repositories to protected instances, define retention policies, and align with recovery objectives to maximize efficiency and minimize restore times.
• Configure protection for production workloads: Set up backup jobs, replication tasks, and disaster recovery plans to run in alignment with your business continuity requirements. Enable 24/7 protection where applicable, including near-continuous data capture, instant recovery options, and verification procedures to ensure data integrity.
• Validate and monitor: Run test restores and DR drills to validate RPOs and RTOs. Monitor job success rates, storage utilization, and capacity growth across the 1 TB increments. Regularly review alerts, dashboards, and reports to maintain ongoing protection and quickly address any anomalies or performance bottlenecks.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What does the four-year license with 1 TB increments cover?

  A: The four-year license provides ongoing access to Veeam backup, replication, and recovery capabilities for installations and production environments. Capacity is measured in 1 TB increments, allowing you to scale protection as data grows, with 24/7 production support and upfront renewal billing to simplify budgeting and renewal planning.

• Q: Is 24/7 production support included with the Capacity Pack?

  A: Yes. The package includes round-the-clock production support to assist with critical workloads, rapid issue resolution, and guidance during migrations, DR testing, and operational incidents. This ensures protection remains active and reliable around the clock.
