Veeam has had quite a year. We celebrated our 10th birthday, surpassed 200,000 customers and now we have ANOTHER analyst firm stating that we are a Leader! That makes three of the world’s most respected analyst firms – IDC, Gartner and Ovum – clearly stating that Veeam’s innovative approach for delivering Availability solutions for today’s highly virtualized, cloud-first environments is the best out there. Not bad, right?!

So what did these three firms award Veeam?

In this cloud blog series, we’ve talked about how secure backups can be in a cloud environment and what the cost may be of not leveraging the potential of DRaaS. The next step would be to start thinking about how to migrate your infrastructure or backups/replicas to the cloud and at what scale it has to be done. We will review the main points that you need to consider and check prior to initiating your move into the world of cloud.

Even though Veeam has made a name for itself with industry-leading, agentless backup solutions for virtualized environments, we are still constantly asked about backing up non-virtualized systems. Based on feedback and as a growth opportunity, we decided to launch Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows (formerly known as Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE). Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows will be available soon and it includes many top-requested features! We were also constantly asked about Linux systems, so we finally announced Veeam Agent for Linux and launched a beta.

Today, we are excited to announce that Veeam Agent for Linux is generally available!

If one thing has the attention of IT decision makers worldwide, it is the risk of ransomware. We frequently see headlines on outages caused by ransomware and the reality is that this is a big problem for organizations of all shapes and sizes.

Veeam has taken ransomware seriously for a while now . We’ve incorporated features into products, as well as started recommending technical practices and designs to provide resiliency to recover, should there be an incident. We took an additional step and tried to quantify ransomware incidents and some of this information was shocking. One important issue that I’ve raised recently in regard to ransomware is for anyone who thinks it is just a PC problem: It can be a ... Read more

It has been an extremely busy time for Veeam with the release of Veeam Availability Suite 9.5, the release of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 as well as the upcoming public beta of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. This release trend is continuing and today I am pleased to announce the general availability (GA) of Veeam Management Pack (MP) for System Center Update 3 and its Availability for download!

At Veeam we innovate to deliver the best Availability solutions on the market and also innovate in the ways we have fun and celebrate. This year was an important milestone in our company’s history. At our tenth anniversary, Veeam reached the threshold of 200,000 customers and we celebrated in style. We rewarded our 200,000th customer, together with three lucky winners, in a noteworthy manner – a weightless flight.

The technology industry is driven by change and innovation. This has been Veeam’s mantra for the past decade, but not all vendors feel the same way. Some fear innovation, and they will go to great lengths to stifle this in others, especially when it poses a risk to their revenue stream.

This is why, back in 2012, Symantec tried to disrupt our momentum because its legacy physical backup products could not compete with Veeam's innovative approach to delivering Availability solutions for the Always-On Enterprise. Symantec initiated two separate lawsuits in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California — the first lawsuit was filed in February 2012 and the second in October ... Read more

Today, Veeam is celebrating another GA of our flagship solution, Veeam Availability Suite 9.5, which is an important part of Veeam Availability Platform for the Hybrid Cloud. Why is this GA so important to Veeam and other organizations all over the world?

Many CIOs are now adopting a cloud-first strategy and backing up and recovering critical data in the cloud is on the rise. As more and more companies explore the idea of migrating applications and data to the cloud, questions like “How secure are cloud services?” arise. While there isn’t a standout number one concern when it comes to cloud computing, the one thing we can be sure about is that security is front and center in CIO’s minds. Veeam has identified the top two concerns from our recent 2016 customer survey to be security and price.
