Launching a number of virtualization application solutions since that time, the company has most recently entered into the VMware backup application race with their Veeam Backup for VMware Infrastructure 3 product.Now, the company is further extending a previous product, Veeam Reporter, upgrading it to a more enterprise offering. Yesterday, the company opened up a public beta for Veeam Reporter Enterprise Edition. The new offering is now designed for large VMware Infrastructure 3 environments.New features in Veeam Reporter Enterprise include: Enterprise-level reporting – The Veeam Reporter Enterprise client-server architecture provides a web-access interface and SQL database back-end, allowing any administrator to generate and view granular reports on his or her area of interest. Unattended data collection and ad hoc reporting – Veeam Reporter Enterprise separates the data collection and report generation steps, so users can set automated collection to occur at specific intervals, ensuring an up-to-date view is ready any time. Configuration change management – Veeam Reporter Enterprise updates the SQL database incrementally, allowing configuration change management reporting. Administrators can get point-in-time views of their virtual environment and generate reports to analyze configuration changes over time. “Our larger customers like the functionality of Veeam Reporter, but they need more scalable capabilities, such as a Microsoft SQL back-end, automated data collection, and a web interface, so that’s what Reporter Enterprise delivers,” said Ratmir Timashev, Veeam president and CEO. “We’re still making performance improvements, so the beta version will not be as fast as the final released version will be, but those who are interested in trying it out and giving us their feedback will have a strong voice in helping to create the final version of the product.”This beta version is available now, and will work until July 15th. Veeam makes it known that there is no planned upgrade path from the beta to the final release, and all history will be lost once you move to the final version from the beta build. If you’d like to participate in the beta program, you can download the beta now. Software Development
