Data resilience

Veeam

#1 in data resilience. Immutable backups, tested restores, ransomware-proof architecture.

Kootechnikel designs, deploys, and operates Veeam Data Platform environments so your backups are immutable, your recovery objectives are met, and ransomware cannot take your business offline.

Market-share leader in data protection. Hardened Linux repositories plus S3 Object Lock immutable tiers provide backups that even a domain-admin-compromised attacker cannot delete.

What it is

Veeam is the market-share leader in data protection and the engine behind most serious MSP-managed backup practices. The product suite is now unified under the Veeam Data Platform, which ships in three editions: Foundation (core backup and recovery), Advanced (adds observability, AI malware and anomaly detection, and cyber-resilience tooling), and Premium (adds orchestration, compliance, and cleanroom recovery). Underneath the platform brand are the engines MSPs actually deploy: Veeam Backup & Replication (the hypervisor, physical, and cloud workload engine), Veeam ONE (monitoring and analytics), Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, Veeam Backup for Salesforce, Veeam Backup for AWS / Azure / GCP, and Kasten for Kubernetes.

Where Veeam separates itself from consumer-grade backup is the image-level, application-aware approach: a single backup captures the whole VM or server state with consistent snapshots of SQL, Exchange, SharePoint, Oracle, and Active Directory, which is what makes a same-day bare-metal restore realistic. The hardened Linux repository and immutable object storage tiers give you ransomware-resistant storage that even a domain-admin-compromised attacker cannot delete inside the retention window.

For MSPs, the Veeam Cloud Connect architecture plus the VCSP (Veeam Cloud & Service Provider) program lets us resell off-site backup and DR-as-a-Service under our own SLA.

Key capabilities

  • Image-based backup with application consistency

    Block-level snapshots of Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V workloads with consistent quiescing of SQL, Exchange, and AD.

  • Hardened repositories and immutable object storage

    Linux hardened repo plus S3 Object Lock / Azure Immutable Blob for backups that ransomware cannot encrypt or delete.

  • Instant VM Recovery and Instant Disk Recovery

    Power on a failed VM directly from backup storage in minutes while the real restore streams in the background.

  • Continuous Data Protection (CDP)

    Near-zero RPO replication for VMware workloads where minutes of data loss is unacceptable.

  • Microsoft 365 and Entra ID backup

    Granular mailbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and identity recovery β€” because Microsoft's shared-responsibility model does not cover your data.

  • AI-driven malware and anomaly detection

    Inline scanning with YARA rules and IOC detection flags suspicious backups before you restore them.

  • Cleanroom recovery and SureBackup

    Automated restore-and-verify in an isolated sandbox so you know the backup actually boots and is malware-free.

  • Cloud Connect off-site and DRaaS

    Encrypted off-site replication and full orchestrated failover through a Veeam Cloud & Service Provider partner.

Who it’s for

  • Mid-market businesses (50–500 endpoints) running a mixed VMware / Hyper-V / physical / Microsoft 365 stack that need a single backup pane of glass.
  • Regulated industries (healthcare, legal, professional services) with immutable-copy and audit-trail requirements.
  • Organizations that have survived β€” or nearly survived β€” a ransomware event and need verified, air-gapped, tested recovery.
Integrations

Ties directly to VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Pure Storage, NetApp, HPE, Dell storage snapshots, AWS S3 / Azure Blob / Wasabi / Backblaze B2 for capacity tier, and Entra ID / Okta for access. Sits cleanly alongside NinjaOne and Datto in a mixed stack β€” Veeam does the heavy application-consistent and VM-level work; lightweight endpoint tools handle laptops.

Partner status & certifications

Veeam ProPartner program, specifically the Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) track. Tiers: Registered, Silver, Gold, and Platinum, with the VCSP Competency Program recognizing Silver-and-above for BaaS and DRaaS delivery. Engineer certification: VMCE (Veeam Certified Engineer).

Pricing model

Veeam Universal License (VUL) model β€” per-workload (VM, server, cloud instance) with Microsoft 365 and Salesforce licensed per user. MSP delivery is typically rented monthly through VCSP rather than perpetual, so you pay for what you protect each month with no capex on license keys.

Why we chose them

Veeam is the only backup engine we trust to cover a full mixed-estate client: VMware cluster, a couple of physical SQL boxes, a Microsoft 365 tenant, and an Azure workload β€” all in one license, one console, one restore workflow. The hardened-repo-plus-immutable-object-storage pattern is the single most effective anti-ransomware control our clients have, full stop, and Veeam has been shipping and refining it longer than anyone else.
