2017 was one of the best years in the history of Veeam, and 2018 is shaping up to be even better as we race to our first $1 billion year.

I am proud of the Veeam Team – all 3,000+ of our employees who stayed focused, kept believing, and most importantly, kept trusting.

Looking to the future, here are four trends that will shape this new year.

1. More Tech IPOs for the desperate and the needy:

There are an enormous number of VC-funded companies that desperately need to go public. These companies will go public not because their businesses are mature and healthy, but because there’s no other way to enable their VC investors to cash out. As a result, we’ll see the ... Read more

With the introduction of Veeam Availability Suite 9.3 Update 3, Veeam brings storage integrated backup and recovery to a wide selection of IBM Storage offerings, helping business of all sizes meet ever increasing recovery service level agreements for IT services and their applications and data.

Let’s face it, for today’s Always-On Enterprise, the amount of data — and the rate it is changing — makes the traditional nightly backup strategy most organizations rely on obsolete. Today’s pace of business requires more frequent restore points to choose from. And unless your users are OK with business standing still when things go wrong, you’ve got to restore and recover quickly as well.

It’s that time of the year when technologists like myself put our “futurist” hat on, take a moment to reflect on the year that was, and scope out some exciting (and sometimes scary) visions of what the next 12 months will look like.

We are still a ways off from teleportation (a personal favorite) and the replicator (another personal favorite, that is more urgent), so I’ll temper our technology predictions to what we know best: Availability. Predicting the future is always subjective, but forecasting is critical so that we can innovate better solutions and in turn, ensure customers can benefit from new and improved offerings. So here ...

WOW! This is big. There is a substantial amount of new functionality in Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 3. We are happy to report some big news that has been kept rather secret for a while with this update since this was first demoed at VeeamON 2017. Update 3 brings agent management to Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 NOW and Veeam ONE 9.5 Update 3; something planned for v10 initially. Support for VMware Cloud on AWS is also included in Update 3, which was previously announced at VMworld. Additionally, the storage integration with IBM Spectrum Virtualize and Lenovo Storage V Series announced last year is included as well.

I have been asked a lot about how to configure time in your domain when all the Domain Controllers (DCs) are virtual and running on Microsoft Hyper-V. People will say just stick to a physical DC. However, sometimes this is not an option. In this article, I am going to walk you through the best way to set up time synchronization. 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

The HPE Discover 2017 event in EMEA was held in Madrid, Spain last week. There, HPE and their partners unveiled a multitude of solutions to help customers capitalize on business opportunities created by the booming amount of data generated by hyper-connected users, applications and devices. Additionally, we heard from HPE senior executives, industry experts and customers on just how disruptive this data deluge can be to organizations, and the need for businesses to drive successful digital transformation initiatives to remain competitive.

This was also something we confirmed in our 2017 Availability Report released earlier this year, that:

4 out of 5 organizations recognize they have an Availability GapThere’s a gap in an organization’s ability to deliver ... Read more
