“Veeam continues to bridge the gap between the requirements of the Always-On Business™ and IT’s ability to effectively deliver business continuity and IT resilience to the majority of businesses,” said Ratmir Timashev, CEO of Veeam. “Businesses are facing challenges such as data loss, long recovery times, unreliable data protection and a lack of visibility into their IT environments. Advanced data protection from Veeam, combined with virtualization, the cloud and other enabling technologies, completes the modern data center and ensures that the critical applications of our more than 100,000 customers remain always on from any place, at any time, on any device.  Our recent partnership with NetApp as a part of Veeam Backup & Replication v8 is a testament to our ongoing mission to enable the Always-On Business by providing advanced data protection to the modern data center.”

Additional highlights of Q1’14 include:

  • Customer Growth: More than 9,400 new customers were added in Q1, surpassing the milestone of 100,000 paid Veeam customers. Veeam continues to acquire new customers at a rate of 3,000 each month. This customer momentum has also led to Veeam’s first flagship event, Veeam ON: The World’s Premier Data Center Availability Event, taking place October 6–9, 2014 at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, NV. Veeam will bring together industry-leading experts and Veeam customers to learn how to enable the Always-On Business.
  • Veeam Cloud Provider (VCP) Program: To better serve the growing number of managed service providers (MSPs) who use Veeam Backup & Replication™, Veeam joined the Kaseya Technology Alliance Program and developed an add-on for Kaseya Virtual System Administrator (VSA).

“We are thrilled to have Veeam join the Kaseya ecosystem. The Veeam add-on dramatically simplifies management of joint customers’ virtualized environments by exposing Veeam data within the Kaseya management console,” said Don LeClair, EVP, Product Management at Kaseya. “Simplified, centralized management of cloud, on-premise, virtualized and distributed environments is Kaseya’s focus, and this integration with the virtualized backup market leader adds great strength to our offering.”

Veeam also added two new VCP rental aggregators in Q1: Insight (U.S.A.) and ECS (China).

  • New Partner Margins and Growth: As a 100 percent channel-based organization, Veeam increased incentives and support to its worldwide partner base of 25,000 ProPartners. Veeam also launched its Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) certification, enabling partners to build professional services and solutions around Veeam within their own virtualization practices.
  • State, Local and Higher Education (SLED) team: In response to Veeam’s continued growth of the SLED market, a team devoted specifically to this segment in North America has been created. This dedicated team understands the specific needs, demands and potential of this vertical. Veeam’s newly created SLED team will work closely with the public sector to ensure the challenges they face in maintaining an Always-On Business are supported and delivered.
