Just Enough Operating System (JeOS)

Veeam Value-Added Reseller Gold Partner

A notable innovation in Veeam Data Platform v13 is the built-in ‘Just Enough Operating System’ (JeOS). This is a minimalist Linux environment tailored specifically for Veeam. Thanks to JeOS, management is greatly simplified: the system and software receive automatic updates, so you are always protected against the latest vulnerabilities. Moreover, the appliance is immediately ready for use, without complex installation procedures or manual patching. So you combine maximum security with minimum effort.

Veeam Data Platform v13 versus earlier versions

  • Faster installation: v13 is available as a software appliance (ISO/OVA), ready for physical, virtual and cloud environments.
  • Automatic updates: JeOS (Just Enough OS) and Veeam software are updated automatically.
