At Veeam, we have always believed in the power of community and the incredible impact that passionate individuals can make when they come together to share their expertise. What a fantastic journey it has been so far, and we are thrilled to announce the second half of 2025 Legends class! The Veeam Legends program is one of the most prominent initiatives within the Veeam Community. It recognizes those individuals who consistently go above and beyond in their involvement with Veeam platforms, including the Community Resource Hub, Veeam R&D Forums, and various other Veeam platforms. These exceptional community members are not only dedicated to improving their own skills and knowledge but are also eager to help others by sharing their insights and experiences. A Vital Part of the Veeam 100 Program The Veeam Legends program is a crucial component of the larger Veeam 100 program, alongside Veeam Vanguard and Veeam MVP. Together, these initiatives represent Veeam’s commitment to creating a community of data protection industry specialists who are passionate about technology and innovation. These programs empower individuals to advance their careers while also encouraging them to contribute to the community in meaningful ways. As Veeam Legends, members not only gain access to exclusive opportunities but also become part of a global network of like-minded professionals who share a common goal: to drive innovation and excellence in the world of data protection. The Importance of Giving Back The Veeam Legends program is about more than just recognition. It's about creating a space where members can actively contribute to the community by sharing their knowledge and experience. Whether it's through answering technical questions, leading discussions, or providing in-depth articles and content, Veeam Legends are the heart of our community. Their commitment to helping others is what makes them truly exceptional. Congratulations to the New and Returning Legends! We are incredibly excited to welcome the new and returning Legends! Your dedication, hard work, and contributions have made a lasting impact, and we are grateful for everything you do to help drive the Veeam Community forward.

If you missed our latest Veeam 100 Show — a special edition all about the Veeam Community Hackathon 2024 — don’t worry, you can still watch the replay! Jonah joined me as co-host, and together we chatted with the winning team - ​@Ian_RSA , ​@lukas.k and ​@CMF - about their incredible project '’Veeam Service Provider Console in Your Pocket '’ To enhance the accessibility and usability of the VCSP Console (VSPC), the team developed a mobile app for Android and iOS designed specifically with customers in mind. The app provides on-demand access to critical cloud service data, anytime and anywhere, putting essential information right at your fingertips. By leveraging AI and the VCSP APIs, they successfully launched the first version of the app during the 2024 Hackathon. Hear all about the project in this session!
