Data protection for financial services and insurance (FSI) institutions continues to be a hot topic as cybersecurity and ransomware dominate news headlines. There is no doubt these threats are here to stay and are growing increasingly more malicious and sophisticated. That’s just one of the takeaways from the largest ever independent research report that is now available. Read more

As another installment from the Data Protection Trends 2022 report, we’re covering the topic of downtime and data loss. These results really give us a view on the current trends happening in the IT environment. Read more

People, process and technology are the triad for cybersecurity strategy. Too often we focus on the technology portion and struggle to respond when failures occur or attacks are successful. Too often there’s confusion and delay because processes aren’t documented, teams are siloed and possibly in conflict or, worse, assumptions are made regarding responsibility. In a world of modern attacks like ransomware, this turns into real dollars due to downtime and data loss. Read more

When it comes to data protection for healthcare, the industry is both similar and unique in its overall trends and IT strategy. That is abundantly clear when you look at both the global and the healthcare industry results in the recently released Veeam 2022 Data Protection Trends report. Read more

Enterprise organizations are big and complex, and their IT strategies are constantly evolving to meet the needs of the business. With assured access to data being increasingly important, enterprise data backup and recovery is a vital element for IT organizations to deliver in order to meet their objectives to the business. So, what is most important to organizations when considering their enterprise backup solution? The 2022 Data Protection Trends Report explored that question and produced interesting insights from the 3,000+ enterprises (> 1,000 employees) across 28 countries. Read more

Veeam recently published the latest and largest research report on data protection, as surveyed by an independent research firm with nearly 3,400 responses from 28 countries. If that was big – this is bigger: 8,000 responses between the DPR 2020, DPR 2021, and now the DPR 2022 reports. Read more

Veeam is very excited to announce the latest and largest research report on data protection, as surveyed by an independent research firm. We say “largest” due to nearly 3,400 responses. When most research includes between 200-400 responses, Veeam sponsored 10X that in order to then cut the data and better understand not just the global market and trends, but the nuances across countries, regions, vertical industries, etc. Check out last year’s blog to understand how we cut 3,000+ responses.

In our research-powered blog series for 2022, we recently discussed why cloud-powered data protection is inevitable for most environments. In fact, it’s fair to say that while many already leverage cloud-powered data protection as either a repository, a backup service, or a DR capability (or some combination), there are others still exploring whether and how to utilize cloud-powered backup. To help understand these market trends, in October 2021, Veeam published what is believed to be the largest BaaS/DRaaS research survey with 1,050 IT leaders weighing in on Data Protection as-a-Service.

As we settle in to 2022, with new year resolutions, fresh budgets, and an ever-heightening sense of dependency on data and concern against data loss/downtime, everyone is looking for “better” data protection. On February 22, Veeam will be releasing the latest version of the industry’s largest data protection research endeavor (3,300 IT leaders), but in the meantime, check out the Data Protection as a Service 2021 report that was published just a few months ago.

As part of VeeamON, we celebrated four customers who were awarded Veeam Innovation Awards (VIAs) due to the results that they achieved, including recovering from ransomware attacks, assuring disaster recovery capabilities, and improving operational recoveries across their public and private clouds. We celebrated how they deployed Veeam across their environments to drive business transformation and – frankly – used our technologies to their fullest to really achieve all that we hope for in modern data protection. In the days surrounding VeeamON, the entire Veeam community was given the opportunity to view why each VIA chose Veeam and how they were using our technologies – and then voted on a “Best in Show” for VeeamON 2021.
