One of the ways to bridge the gap is to deliver services in the ‘as a Service’ (XaaS, as a Service, etc.) model. Here at Veeam, we see more trends indicating that as Service offerings continue to grow in popularity. We even see this available in infrastructure services, many organizations seek the as a Service, cloud-like experience with on-premises security and control. Enter Lenovo TruScale. Today, Lenovo TruScale is launching a Backup as a Service offering, announced today with Veeam!
