WAN Acceleration

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

  • 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. Veeam WAN acceleration is a built-in feature and does not add complexity and cost to the backup infrastructure.

The WAN acceleration technology is specific for remote jobs: backup copy jobs and replication jobs.

WAN Acceleration Note:

WAN acceleration is available in the Enterprise and Enterprise Plus Editions of Veeam Backup & Replication. For details, see Veeam Editions Comparison.
