The past few weeks I’ve been working with a customer that only has ESXi, Veeam FastSCP has came in really handy lately! I can copy files between systems or between a system and my desktop, the flexibility it creates is amazing.  It also attempts to utilize the VMKernel API first, if it cannot make a connection that way it will fallback to SSH.  Did I forget to mention, its blazing fast!

Well, now is your chance to get Veeam Backup and Replication for 50% off! Don’t miss this great opportunity to get a solid backup utility for your ESX(i) infrastructure.  Oh yeah, it also works with ESXi Free Edition!

Through June 15, Veeam Software is extending a special upgrade offer that gives you budget relief, freeing you to license the new #1 for VMware backup and replication. Veeam has the functionality, reliability and performance you need now.

You can have both backup and replication in one product - now 50% off when you provide proof of purchase of a competing product. Learn more >>

Like two little kids, Rich Brambley from VM /ETC and Jason Boche from boche.net couldn’t resist.  They opened their presents a little early.  It sounds like for those of you that sign-up for it, you will get a very nice (and FREE) Virtual Infrastructure management tool. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me!  Be sure to sign up and you’ll receive the download link on Dec 22nd.

Just like Scott Lowe and probably thousands of others, Veeam notified me that they are giving away another free tool on December 22nd:

If your readers are among the 50,000+ people who have downloaded Veeam’s popular freeware, FastSCP, they’ll be interested to hear that Veeam is about to make available another great free tool.  Just in time for the holidays, VMware pro’s can visit http://www.veeam.com/xmas/default.html and register to be among the first to receive Veeam’s newest free tool to help manage VMware.

We’ll be unveiling what the new free tool is on Dec. 22 – everyone who registers will automatically receive a download link that day via e-mail.
This holiday gift is marked “do not open until Dec. 22.”  

I’m registered for it and really have no idea what it could be, but I hope its good.
