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?

For starters, more than 67,000 customers registered to be the first to know about 9.5 features and enhancements. This tremendous response clearly demonstrates IT departments’ increasing interest AND investments in modern storage, hyper-converged systems and the hybrid cloud, as well as their need to keep these new technologies available 24.7.365.

Version 9.5 isn’t just a half-point update, it is a key upgrade that includes more than 175 new features and enhancements, many designed to ... Read more

I am happy to announce that NEW Veeam Availability Suite 9.5 is now generally available (GA) and ready for download! This latest version of our flagship product builds even further upon a number of enterprise enhancements introduced with v9 to help organizations meet today’s service-level objectives enabling the recovery of any IT service and related applications and data within seconds and minutes.

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.

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.
