Node4 has become a Gold Cloud Provider of Veeam Software, a partnership that gives Node4's cloud customers access to a self-service portal from where anyone can quickly restore data from backups.
Mark Wilson, Cloud Architect, Node4, commented: "Our customers were telling us that high-speed recovery of data was placing an increasing burden on their IT teams and the traditional support process was causing delays that modern businesses, which require access to their data 24/7, cannot tolerate.
"As a result of our investment in Veeam our customers can empower their teams to recover files and virtual machines faster, while maintaining control of the backup process itself."
Wilson also noted that the combination of Node4's investment in Veeam Software and NetApp storage allows a significant part of the backup process to utilise storage snapshots, reducing load on production infrastructure and avoiding limitations of a traditional backup window.
With other recent investments Node4 is now able to offer a suite of data availability technologies to its customers, from cloud and on-premise to colocation equipment, through to cloud applications such as Office365.
Laurent Garcia, Senior Hosting & Cloud Manager EMEA, Veeam Software, added: "The integration of Veeam Availability Suite with Node4's cloud services will allow us to address a common target in search of efficient, secure and agile services."
