This is especially valuable for companies that rely on virtualization infrastructures. By combining The Grid with Veeam Backup & Replication, organizations can leverage the Grid for a truly seamless backup process that will automatically replace any node that fails, without business disruption. The Grid takes advantage of being software defined storage to deliver a virtual controller specifically optimized for Veeam to deliver:
