How Cisco + Veeam Make 1 + 1 = 3

for System Availability and Security

Studies indicate that across a broad range of industries,
availability and security are two of the most critical
issues facing companies today. Unplanned downtime

82%
and data breaches can cause irreparable damage to
brand reputation and customer confidence, and their
costs are astronomical.

Whether the threats to availability and data security

come from cyberattacks or natural disasters, the need of companies recognize
for improved deterrence, protection, and remediation is that they can’t meet
indisputable. Managed Services Providers (MSPs) and today’s demand for
Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are stepping up to meet 24.7.365 availability.1
that demand.

Healthcare
Industry
The cost of downtime in any healthcare
facility would be beyond measurable, in
lives and welfare. Within hours, the
initial wave of the now infamous
WannaCry virus caused hospitals to
close and disrupted surgeries. More
than 200,000 computers in more than
150 countries were infected.

Industry
Six weeks after the initial WannaCry
wave, a Honda manufacturing
facility in Japan was forced to shut
down when the virus was detected
in their system.2 Gartner estimates
the cost per minute of unplanned
downtime at $5,600 per minute.
That’s $336,000 per hour.3
Other estimates
range from $7,000
to $11,000 per

Cisco & Veeam

Remedy 1+1=3
better together

Cisco + Veeam deliver a

cost-effective solution for
high-speed recovery, data-loss
avoidance, and verified protection.

Maybe Honda can absorb the

downtime costs it incurred from its
WannaCry attack, but small and
medium manufacturers could not.
Hospitals and clinics that typically operate on very tight margins could be financially
ruined by even a few hours of downtime, never mind days. 14 million small and
medium U.S. businesses are at risk of a hacker threat.6

The solution is a business continuity plan that includes the increased uptime provided
by Veeam’s Availability Suite for today’s “Always-OnTM” businesses in conjunction with
the reduced impact of security breaches achieved by implementing Cisco HyperFlex
with Cisco UCS S3260 for automated detection, mitigation, and remediation.

Cisco HyperFlex Systems and Veeam Availability solutions combine to protect data
and applications with backup recovery and data replication for disaster recovery.
Veeam’s unique snapshot integration with Cisco HyperFlex allows for unlimited
backups without impacting production data. Exposure is reduced to only minutes
instead of hours or days!
