The HPE and Veeam partnership brings comprehensive data protection for Hybrid IT. Veeam software integration with HPE storage solutions lets you create application-consistent backups from HPE storage snapshots for fast and efficient data protection. For long-term external storage, HPE StoreOnce provides deduplication for efficient storage utilization and fault isolation for data.

It’s been a little over a year since I joined Veeam, and the adage “time flies when you’re having fun” could not be more apt. It seems just yesterday that I was collecting my laptop and addressing my team for the first time! The past 12 or so months have been phenomenal and a truly momentous year for the company. I’d like to say it was all my doing, but the team is outstanding and they have achieved so much to be proud of. Today, Veeam is THE CLEAR MARKET LEADER. You may be saying, “Prove it, Peter,” so let me do just that.

We know our customers are some of ... Read more

Last year we announced Veeam Managed Backup Portal, exclusive to the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. This Azure-based solution was well received among Veeam’s managed service provider (MSP) and value-added reseller (VAR) communities. This enabled the delivery of remote monitoring and management to their customers' Veeam Backup & Replication environments. Veeam Managed Backup Portal came with zero connectivity requirements between the MSP and their customer, and minus having an Azure subscription, there were minimal upfront costs, making these new recurring revenue streams even more profitable.

Here at Veeam, our alliance partners are at the core of our business, and we continually work together with them to deliver Availability for the Always-On Enterprise. Cisco has been one of our key alliance partners for many years, and in recent months, we further strengthened our partnership through several strategic movements for the benefit of our customers. Earlier in August, we announced that Veeam will be added to the Cisco Global Price List by the end of the year, enabling one-stop shopping: Cisco and its resellers can deliver our Availability solutions together with any Cisco software or hardware product.

In breaking news, last week was a special week for Veeam as we were ... Read more

I’m dusting off my cowboy boots and getting ready to head down to the Lone Star State (Texas) for Cisco’s annual partner summit in a couple weeks. The Cisco Partner Summit is their premier, invite-only partner event held annually for their top partner executives. This year’s theme is “OWN IT,” and as it rapidly approaches, I thought about how Veeam and Cisco is well on their way to OWN IT and enable their customers to do the same, together.

Downtime can be an unpopular topic in regards to keeping IT services available today. But downtime does need to happen, whether it is to avoid an outage pre-emptively (such as an upcoming weather disaster) or to do much-needed maintenance and modernizations of critical systems. Whatever the reason, planned downtime does need to happen.

Everyone knows that unplanned downtime is not a popular topic, and the 2017 Veeam Availability report proves it! Modern enterprises can schedule downtime, and it can be an investment to perform necessary changes. In this blog, here are 3 essential characteristics of planned downtime for the IT decision maker:

It’s been a challenging and emotional week. The horrific tragedy in Las Vegas has left us all heartbroken and a bit numb. With NetApp Insight scheduled this week, the decision was made to cancel the first day’s events and activities, but resume the conference and sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday, as planned. I’m sure it was a difficult and delicate decision for our friends at NetApp to make, but they have shown respect, class and leadership to all this week. We are proud to call them partners.

Being with the Veeam team, our partners and customers is the best part of my job, and this week was no different, although it was under very surreal circumstances and a bit more subdued. ... Read more

Software as a Service, and especially Microsoft Office 365, has become more and more popular in today’s world. Software as a Service brings many advantages over implementing a service on premises, but also brings forth some new challenges. Here’s a good read on Office 365-related challenges.

However, the most important question you should ask yourself is: How much does my business rely on email?

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

It seems that, like most of the planet, I waited for Apple’s big announcement two weeks ago with baited breath. My iPhone is (almost) my life. It sounds sad, but due to the amount I travel, that little device is the one thing that keeps me on track and in touch with everyone. Now that the dust from the announcement has settled, and everyone knows to say “10” instead of “X,” I can honestly say that I believe Apple has again moved us all forward with the iPhone X, 8 and 8 Plus. It also got me thinking about celebrating a decade since the iPhone first entered our lives and what other technologies have impacted us in this time. The ... Read more
