WAN Acceleration

In this article

    Offsite backup and replication always involves moving large volumes of data between remote sites. The most common problems that backup administrators encounter during are the following ones:

    • Insufficient network bandwidth to support VM data traffic
    • Transmission of redundant data

    To solve these problems, Veeam Backup & Replication offers the WAN acceleration technology that helps optimize data transfer over WAN.

    The WAN acceleration technology is specific for remote jobs: backup copy jobs and replication jobs. Being a built-in feature, Veeam’s WAN acceleration does not add complexity and cost to the backup infrastructure.

    WAN Acceleration Note:

    WAN acceleration is available is specific editions of Veeam Backup & Replication. For more information, see https://www.veeam.com/backup-version-standard-enterprise-editions-comparison.html.
