While the installer is very fail safe, it is better to be safe than sorry. Before upgradingĪs with any infrastructure change, it is recommended to have a good rollback plan. With this post, I will demonstrate why there is very little reason to postpone deployment, as the upgrade is extremely easy and straight forward. But would want to purchase and manage licenses globally.HOW-TO Upgrade to Veeam Backup & Replication v9Īs the new version of Veeam Backup & Replication is just about the be released, I often get asked whether customers should hold back on deploying the current version 8. (Where for example 'local' support staff must be able to check backup results for several sites, but are not allowed to see all backup for the whole enterprise. As in enterprise environments the IT landscape is not flat, but has it's own hierarchy.

But if Veeam is serious about moving more towards "enterprise customers", Veeam really needs to do some work to support role-based access. My apologies for blaming "the private equity firm". But as the MSRP is unknown we cannot factor in price increases, we have to rely on our historical purchases for price information (and might need to purchase less as the budget figure might be to low if prices increased.) (Veeam MSRP versus savings on tapes + robot MSRP.)Īnd we're not there yet, we (probably) need more licenses. One of the reasons we were able to switch from our previous backup product to Veeam, is because we could show what the transition cost would be. But the whole negotiation will never happen if it is never put on the budget proposal because the price is unknown. That the real price will be negotiated during purchasing is something that's known. The MSRP is on their website, so that is a number can be used for the budget proposal. It's no surprise that vendors like Paessler (from PRTG), PDQ, are so successful. I would like to show to purchasing the percentage we save when buying a 5 years maintenance versus a yearly renewal. Sorry for 'stealing' this thread, but I had to reply to this.Įveryone in IT knows that you don't compare MSRP and a quote from a sales rep.īut I would want to compare MSRP ratios from the same vendor to identify if a migration from socket based to instance based would be cost efficient. Being on the inside, I can tell you that this whole massive push for "enterprise customers" was started by Peter McKay, when he joined Veeam as the President over 4 years ago. And in general, market focus changes take much longer than half a year to implement. We're executing now what was put in plans back in 2019, before acquisition was a thing.

Otherwise, many customers will end up comparing MSRP w/out volume discount to a custom-tailored offer from a competitor's sales person (as none of our main enterprise backup competitors post their prices on the web-site).Īnd honestly, it is too soon to blame "the private equity firm" for anything at all, because the acquisition completed only recently. perhaps you're talking about pricing for large customers? This depends on the volume too much, so it's indeed best to talk to a sales rep for a quote. Instances are available on both Subscription and Perpetual contracts, so you can own them indefinitely too if you like.Īlso, we do have SMB pricing available on the web-site.
