We recently turned ten, and while some of our teams across the globe celebrated with cupcakes and balloons, others celebrated our company’s birthday during the grand opening of their new, official offices. In light of all these celebrations, I took some time to ponder my history at Veeam since I joined in December 2007 as employee number 8, outside of Russia.

Veeam has been fortunate to not only survive, but thrive, during one of the most turbulent and interesting periods in IT history. New technologies have emerged that have changed the way businesses think about IT, while ubiquitous connectivity has driven fundamental shifts in how we live and work. The company was founded when cloud was in its infancy and many ... Read more

Veeam and Cisco have been working on a number of solutions over the years and the latest is the new Cisco UCS S-Series storage server. In just a few short years, Cisco’s UCS platform has become the leader in converged infrastructures for high performance and agile datacenters. Additionally, many customers and partners around the world have also found Cisco’s storage servers to be an ideal platform to build data protection and availability solutions with Veeam. What is this availability solution?  It is an additional use case that keeps applications and data available.

I have now been with Veeam for around 100 days. So far, it’s been a rollercoaster ride and a lot of air miles that included two stand-out trips: VMworld US in Las Vegas and VMworld Europe in Barcelona. These events may sound the same, but to me, the experiences were a million miles apart.

VMworld US used to be my show in my previous position at VMware. And now, attending this event as Veeam President and COO was a different experience. It was different, not only because it was held in Vegas for the first time, but also because every 50 yards someone — a former VMware colleague, partner or customer — would grab my arm and say “Hey!” I ...

One of the common things that happen in my group of evangelists is helping organizations of all sizes take an Availability strategy to the cloud. When it comes to the cloud, Veeam has a lot of options and has had so for a number of years.

I frequently go back to one question: “What are you wanting to accomplish with a cloud or service provider technology?” This is where the answers get interesting. I’ve heard everything from: “I’m out of space in my data center,” “I want cheap storage,” “I have a credit to use in Azure,” “I want complete disaster recovery,” “I want to get data off-site but don’t have a second site myself,” and more.

Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 is just around the corner. I have been testing the beta version for two months now, and I tested the first promised feature — the Veeam-Nimble integration — a month ago. Today, I’ll demonstrate the test of another enhancement — integrated Direct Restore to Microsoft Azure.

At Veeam, our customers are our number one priority and their feedback helps us continuously improve our business. Veeam’s annual Customer Satisfaction Survey shares important feedback on how our customers feel about Veeam’s products and services. The results are in for our 2016 survey and we are excited to share them with you today!

Veeam’s 2016 Net Promoter Score

An organization’s Net Promoter Score boils down to one simple question — How likely is it that you would recommend Veeam to a friend or colleague?

The answer to this question, translated into numbers, represents customer loyalty and the likelihood of that customer recommending Veeam products and services to others. Net Promoter Scores (NPS) can range from -100 to +100, ... Read more

Data Availability has become more and more important for today’s businesses. The NetApp Data ONTAP and Veeam combination provides a high Availability level for the Always-On Enterprise. By leveraging NetApp data protection features like snapshots, SnapMirror and SnapVault, Veeam is able to enhance recovery time and recovery point objectives, otherwise known as RTPO, for VMs and applications residing on NFS-, FC-, FCoE- and iSCSI-based arrays.

Some enterprise data centers are leveraging NetApp’s ability to cascade ONTAP systems to maximize Availability. In this blogpost, I explain the benefits of leveraging an ONTAP cascaded design with Veeam.

VeeamON 2017 is the most awaited Availability event of the year – definitely the right place to network with IT fellows worldwide and take the pulse of the whole IT industry. Wondering how you can be part of the action? By sponsoring the event, your company will become part of the conversation and the future of Availability through the substantial exposure the over 3,000 attendees will generate for your products and services.

Hyper-converged infrastructure environments are increasing in popularity for many reasons, especially for ROBO (Remote Office / Branch Office) environments. They are integrated software-defined systems that combine compute, network, storage and virtualization with a software layer that provides a single system of managed IT. Hyper-converged infrastructures are easy to deploy, manage and offer IT agility and flexibility as well as a decrease in operational costs and the resources needed to manage them.
