It seems today is free goodies day at least thanks to Veeam. Today they released a FREE version of Veeam ONE “Free, powerful and easy-to-use VMware management”.

Quote taken from their website:

Veeam ONE Free Edition is a risk-free way to experience firsthand the many benefits that Veeam ONE brings to virtualization management. With no restrictions on the number of vCenter Servers and ESX(i) hosts you can manage, Veeam ONE Free Edition lets you see how 24×7 monitoring, management reporting and more can improve the performance and availability of your virtual environment.

Basically you can run the free version and if you like it you can upgrade to a full version. Veeam was also kind enough to make us an overview PDF with the differences between the FREE and FULL edition.

Veeam One offers administrators the following options:

• Real-time monitoring and alerting
• Storage monitoring
• Advanced alerting capabilities
• Easy documentation and management reporting
• Saves time and cost
• Customizable dashboard
• Gain a business view of your virtual environment
• “Set and forget” dynamic categorization
• Prioritize resource allocation and control VM sprawl
