Veeam Data Platform

Veeam Data Platform is an end-to-end data recovery platform designed to provide immutable, high-performance backups and direct to object storage at any scale. It optimizes moving or copying backups between different storage types, preserving data reduction with intelligent backup data migration. Veeam Data Platform includes the following Veeam products: Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam ONE, and Veeam Recovery Orchestrator.

Licensing

Veeam Data Platform licensing is based on workloads and front-end capacity (for unstructured data sources). The license file can be generated and assigned to the Veeam Backup & Replication installation using VCSP Pulse plug-in for Veeam Service Provider Console. Alternatively, a new license file can be generated on the VCSP Pulse Portal in the Licenses & Subscriptions > Software Licenses > Veeam Data Platform section. For more information on licensing support for specific features, see Veeam Data Platform Feature Comparison.

Each workload under protection consumes the license at a rate in alignment with the VCSP Rental Point Per Unit (PPU).

Usage Reporting

The primary and recommended method to collect usage reporting data is Veeam Service Provider Console, an automated and free tool for license management and reporting. To enable license usage reporting, connect Veeam Backup & Replication servers. Once done, license usage from all workloads managed by that server will be included into the monthly License Usage Report.

Alternatively, license usage can be obtained by one of the following ways:

• Veeam Service Provider Console REST API

• Directly from Veeam Backup & Replication server

The overall usage is based on high watermark license consumption and includes data from all Veeam Backup & Replication servers with the Veeam Data Platform license. Monthly usage must be submitted through VCSP Pulse Portal.
