Speak about the partnership that OutSystems offers to enterprises in their digital transformation journey

OutSystems’ mission is to give every organization the power to innovate through software. We offer our customers and enterprises a high-performance low-code platform that helps them develop the software they need and will have complete control over. Whether our customers need to build operational systems for departments, core digital systems for enterprises, or digital and mobile experiences that serve millions of users, we have the solution. Our offer will ensure that the enterprise applications are scalable, reliable, available, and perform as expected with a platform designed to utilize native cloud architecture.

Our focus lies in helping clients achieve their transformation goals; for example, we helped Al Salam Bank in Bahrain quickly develop a mobile app where they could offer their customers a financial lifeline during COVID-19.

Discuss the role of the cloud and its services in digital transformation

Businesses are undergoing digital transformation to deliver better, richer, and faster customer experiences to accelerate growth and reduce costs. Cloud and cloud-native applications address the dual goals of speed of innovation and reliability. They can be quickly developed with OutSystems, deployed and rapidly evolved and scaled across cloud environments.

How do you distinguish between OutSystems and its competitors as an enterprise software solution provider?

OutSystems provides clients with a platform to develop customized software made to fit their specific needs and wishes, be it internal workflows, core systems or client experiences. Meanwhile, many of our competitors only offer ready-made, off-the-shelf software, or a subset of the capabilities and use cases.

Using low-code rapid development and change customized solutions allows the enterprise to create tailored software fast, that will fit the organization and its customer’s needs more than an off-the-shelf solution could ever do or faster than with high code.

Elaborate on the opportunities of SMEs and large enterprises while choosing to transform digital applications and devices

With digitalization speeding up faster than ever before, applications are expected to be built in the shortest time possible. Especially for larger enterprises, the pressure to provide state of the art digital solutions for their customer is high and increasing ever so. However, where the larger enterprises go, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) must follow in order to be competitive. Much of the market is struggling with the speed of digital transformation. And for many SMEs, the cost of investing in digital, sustainable solutions are often very high. Therefore, low-code is a good solution since it simplifies the process while keeping the costs down.

What are the anti-cyberattack strategies enforced by OutSystems in favour of its customers

All our web and mobile applications are protected by default by OWASP. When using the OutSystems Cloud to build and run your applications, you can rely on state-of-the-art security encompassing, including compliances with SOC 2 Type 2, PCI and HIPAA, to name a few.

To ensure that our solutions and products keep up with the security, we have implemented a few steps, such as each platform automatically updates and upgrades. Also, pre-built components simplify security-related tasks such as encrypting data at REST or integrating with Identity Management systems.

Veeam continues to innovate and expand with the focus on furthering its ecosystem of integrations with Veeam Backup & Replication v11a. Veeam extends its platform increasing value for customers as they move to the cloud, including expanded native protection for AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, Veeam backup repository integration for Kubernetes, and centralized management for IBM AIX and Oracle Solaris protection. Veeam Backup & Replication v11a provides even greater platform support, including Microsoft Windows Server 2022, as well as broader capabilities that help ensure that data is protected, no matter where it’s located. Finally, enhanced Continuous Data Protection (CDP) provides enhanced support for VMware VSAN and VMware Virtual Volumes (vVOLs), enabling alignment to RPO, RTO, and SLA goals with one integrated solution regardless of primary storage technology used.

Cloud-native capabilities for AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform

Veeam provides cloud-native support for the leading hyper-scale public clouds – AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud – under a single platform for hybrid-/multi-cloud environments, providing unparalleled choice and simplicity when utilizing one or more providers. New features and capabilities in Veeam Backup & Replication v11a (and each standalone, cloud-specific offering) enable organizations to accelerate cloud adoption by ensuring data is reliably secured, protected, and managed from a single console.

• Native protection of additional services: Expand native backup and recovery to Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) systems and Microsoft Azure SQL Databases. Policy-based automation eases management and eliminates scripts, while fast and flexible recoveries keep organizations operational 24/7.
• Lowest cost archive storage: Achieve long-term retention goals for cloud-native backups within budgets. New support for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) Glacier, S3 Glacier Deep Archive, Microsoft Azure Archive Storage, and Google Cloud Archive storage cuts data archival costs by as much as 50X.
• Increased security and control: Safeguard encrypted backup data from ransomware and other cyber threats. Integrations with AWS Key Management Service (KMS) and Azure Key Vault, as well as new RBAC functionality, increases security with streamlined control over access authorizations.
• One platform with unlimited options: Centralize AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform backup and recovery under a single, easy-to-use console. Directly restore ANY Veeam backup to AWS, Azure, and now also to Google Cloud for unlimited Cloud Mobility.

Kasten by Veeam K10 integration with Veeam backup repositories

Enterprise customers are taking advantage of the flexibility and power of containers but providing backup, recovery, and visibility into container backups is often a challenge due to fragmented solutions. With the new integration released as part of Veeam Backup & Replication v11a, K10 and Veeam customers will be able to leverage existing investments in the backup infrastructure. Kasten K10 v4.5 will be able to direct backups of Kubernetes clusters that leverage VMware persistent volumes to a Veeam Backup & Replication repository where its lifecycle can be managed and additional Veeam features and capabilities leveraged.

Support for Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) backup

Now with support for a fourth hypervisor in a supported public beta, Veeam Backup & Replication v11a offers reliable integrated backup for Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) so customers can create efficient backups of RHV VMs utilizing native change block tracking and be prepared for any disaster. With fast recovery for RHV VMs, Veeam customers can meet recovery objectives with confidence using a flexible solution natively integrated with RHV.

Instant Recovery to Nutanix AHV

With the new Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV v3, Veeam expands its patented instant recovery functionality to additional hypervisors. Customers can now instantly recover image-level backups created by ANY Veeam product to a Nutanix AHV VM for instant disaster recovery of any workload – cloud, virtual and physical. This functionality requires Nutanix AHV 6.0 or later.

Veeam Agents for Microsoft Windows, IBM AIX, and Oracle Solaris

Veeam continues to make large strides in server backup with additional platform support and capabilities that reduce deployment and management operations. Now with support for Windows 10 21H1 and Windows Server 2022, customers can embrace the latest versions of Microsoft’s server and client operating systems with the confidence that their data can be both backed up and recovered. New automated protection groups enable customers to avoid data loss scenarios for new IBM AIX and Oracle Solaris assets added to the data center.
