Every business, especially the Enterprise, is grappling with the challenges of moving to the cloud. It isn’t a matter of IF, but a matter of WHEN and HOW.

For tens of thousands of organizations, the WHEN is Today and the HOW is with Veeam.

Recently our adoption of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 has skyrocketed. When we began rolling this product out a little over a year ago, even we didn’t imagine the size of the response in such a short amount of time.

In 2017, more than 25,000 organizations installed our Office 365 backup solution, representing 2.3 million Microsoft Office mailboxes. We saw a staggering 327% quarter-over-quarter growth in Q4 of last year. These numbers are indicative ... Read more

Cloud computing was really born just over ten years ago and after a few stumbles and early course corrections, the pace of innovation is now accelerating dramatically.

Enterprises’ increasing reliance on the cloud to deliver the agility and scale their customers and partners demand now means that data protection and Availability are pivotal concerns. Any firm can have the best, AI-based customer intelligence platform in the world, but if it’s not available for days, there can be a real, tangible impact to the business.

But as the cloud computing landscape continues to rapidly evolve, it can be difficult to predict what the future holds. However, the Veeam team has broken out the crystal ball and here are four key ... Read more

One of the best things about being in the IT industry is watching exciting changes take place and being a part of them. The new digital economy has brought about many such changes, forcing businesses and their IT infrastructure to react in new ways to meet new demands. When it comes to cloud, the changes are just as dynamic.

Research tells us that 81% of enterprises are embracing a multi-cloud strategy with a mix of solutions across private, public, and hybrid clouds – across multiple providers1. With this big move to multi-cloud, the next question is How can businesses ensure their apps and data are available across the new multi-cloud models they are adopting? Before that question is addressed, ... Read more

I’m in Orlando with my emotions torn.

Firstly, I feel humbled by the welcome all of those attending Microsoft Ignite have received from a city that has been through so much in the past few weeks. Hurricane Irma inflicted so much destruction and devastation across the state, and to be welcomed in such a warm way by folks who are still picking up the pieces proves that human spirit and determination can overcome so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected, and we all hope that the worst is over.

Secondly, I am super excited about this week. I’ve been to Ignite many times, several while carrying a Microsoft business card, but to be here ... Read more

Digital transformation is a topic that is not only dominating the headlines, but also dominating emerging IT strategies and, increasingly, the investments of nearly every company. In the words of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, “Over the next 10 years, we’ll reach a point where everything is digitized.” You’ve read and heard from Veeam many times about how multi-cloud strategies are emerging as a winning proposition to enable the agility and Availability organizations need to realize their digital transformation goals.

These ideas were on full display last week at VMworld in Las Vegas. Long a pioneer and leader in transformational technologies like virtualization and the Software Defined Data Center, VMware formally launched its partnership with Amazon ... Read more

My time here at Veeam can only be described with one word: ”Epic.” From the time I started in September, I’ve been blown away by the speed at which this organization operates.

One can never understand what “Veeam Speed” means unless you’ve lived it — and these last few months have seen our cloud business continue to accelerate forward. Our momentum is exciting, and our recent achievement within Forbes Cloud 100 is a powerful recognition as we move into the second half of 2017.

The Forbes Cloud 100 was introduced in 2016, and I am proud to say that Veeam made the list two years in a row. We were number 53 on the 2016 list, and ... Read more
