“The cloud is not ‘new’ for most organizations,” said Danny Allan, CTO & SVP, Product Strategy at Veeam. “According to our recent Veeam Cloud Protection Trends Report[i], more than 40% of organizations have been using production services in the cloud for more than 24 months. Data is moving, IT platforms are changing, and Veeam continues to evolve to support these moves and deliver the most simple, flexible, reliable and powerful backup solutions. These latest product updates and enhancements will further enable our 400,000+ customers to protect, recover and manage their data wherever it resides.”

Cloud-native capabilities for AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform

Veeam provides cloud-native support for the leading hyperscale public clouds – AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud – under a single platform for hybrid-/multi-cloud environments, providing unparalleled choice and simplicity when utilizing one or more providers. New features and capabilities in Veeam Backup & Replication v11a (and each standalone, cloud-specific offering) enable organizations to accelerate cloud adoption by ensuring data is reliably secured, protected and managed from a single console.

• Native protection of additional services: Expand native backup and recovery to Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) systems and Microsoft Azure SQL Databases. Policy-based automation eases management and eliminates scripts, while fast and flexible recoveries keep organizations operational 24/7.
• Lowest cost archive storage: Achieve long-term retention goals for cloud-native backups within budgets. New support for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) Glacier, S3 Glacier Deep Archive, Microsoft Azure Archive Storage and Google Cloud Archive storage cuts data archival costs by as much as 50X.
• Increased security and control: Safeguard encrypted backup data from ransomware and other cyberthreats. Integrations with AWS Key Management Service (KMS) and Azure Key Vault, as well as new RBAC functionality, increases security with streamlined control over access authorizations.
• One platform with unlimited options: Centralize AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform backup and recovery under a single, easy-to-use console. Directly restore ANY Veeam backup to AWS, Azure and now also to Google Cloud for unlimited Cloud Mobility.

Kasten by Veeam K10 integration with Veeam backup repositories

Enterprise customers are taking advantage of the flexibility and power of containers but providing backup, recovery and visibility into container backups is often a challenge due to fragmented solutions. With the new integration released as part of Veeam Backup & Replication v11a, K10 and Veeam customers will be able to leverage existing investments in backup infrastructure. Kasten K10 V4.5 will be able to direct backups of Kubernetes clusters that leverage VMware persistent volumes to a Veeam Backup & Replication repository where its lifecycle can be managed and additional Veeam features and capabilities leveraged.

Support for Red Hat® Virtualization (RHV) backup

Now with support for a fourth hypervisor in a supported public beta, Veeam Backup & Replication v11a offers reliable integrated backup for Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) so customers can create efficient backups of RHV VMs utilizing native change block tracking and be prepared for any disaster. With fast recovery for RHV VMs, Veeam customers can meet recovery objectives with confidence using a flexible solution natively integrated with RHV.

Instant Recovery to Nutanix AHV

With new Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV v3, Veeam expands its patented instant recovery functionality to additional hypervisors. Customers can now instantly recover image-level backups created by ANY Veeam product to a Nutanix AHV VM for instant disaster recovery of any workload – cloud, virtual and physical. This functionality requires Nutanix AHV 6.0 or later.

Veeam Agents for Microsoft Windows, IBM AIX and Oracle Solaris

Veeam continues to make large strides in server backup with additional platform support and capabilities that reduce deployment and management operations. Now with support for Windows 10 21H1 and Windows Server 2022, customers can embrace the latest versions of Microsoft’s server and client operating systems with confidence that their data can be both backed up and recovered. New automated protection groups enable customers to avoid data loss scenarios for new IBM AIX and Oracle Solaris assets added to the data center.

Veeam ONE v11a capabilities

As the premier monitoring and analytics solution for Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam ONE™ v11a now provides deeper insights into data protection with a distinct focus on cloud, security and enterprise capabilities. New support for Veeam Backup for Google Cloud Platform provides alarms and reports to help track and measure the efficacy of cloud backups, as well as a new view into immutability, further helping mitigate against malicious activity from cyberthreats. Enterprise customers can now take full advantage of enhanced reporting for advanced views and comprehensive monitoring and reporting with Veeam Agents for IBM AIX and Oracle Solaris, which can now be managed centrally with Veeam Backup & Replication v11a.

VeeamService Provider Console v6

Founded on a freemium model, Veeam has continued to offer free products to its customers and partners for the past 15 years. New Veeam Service Provider Console v6 continues that streak as a FREE product that provides cloud and managed service providers the ability to offer Veeam-powered BaaS and DRaaS to their customers from a centralized, web-based console. V6 now offers service providers deeper integrations to accelerate productivity, including VCSP Pulse integration for dramatically simplified license management and customer onboarding, as well as support for Veeam ONE™ and upcoming support for Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365.

The market’s #1 pure play Modern Data Protection provider celebrates one million active installations of Veeam Backup & Replication, more than 15 million Microsoft 365 mailboxes protected, phenomenal growth and provides 30,000+ registered attendees from 175 countries at VeeamON 2021 with insights on what’s coming in the future

COLUMBUS, Ohio — VeeamON 2021 – May 25, 2021 — /BackupReview.info/ — Veeam® Software, the leader in backup solutions that deliver Modern Data Protection, today kicked off its seventh annual user event, VeeamON 2021, delivering a clear overview of its vision and strategy for the most advanced data protection solutions for cloud, virtual, SaaS, Kubernetes and physical workloads. VeeamON 2021 looks back at how Veeam and their ecosystem of partners have endured a challenging year and delivered simple, flexible, reliable and powerful data management and protection solutions to more than 400,000 customers. Highlights include interactive and inspiring sessions from Veeam’s leadership team – including CEO Bill Largent, CTO and SVP Product Strategy Danny Allan, and SVP Product Management Anton Gostev – as well as guest speakers from the City of New Orleans, Maritz and Nuance.

“Veeam is the largest storage company that’s not making storage or infrastructure, and is by far the #1 pure play data protection vendor on the planet,” said Danny Allan, CTO and SVP Product Strategy at Veeam. “We moved more than 100 PB of data into our top three cloud object storage providers alone in just the first quarter of 2021, compared to 242 PB in all of 2020, and we recently surpassed 1 million active Veeam Backup & Replication™ installations. The movement of data into cloud and expanding cloud data management is accelerating. Data storage in the cloud is just one of the engines that is driving massive growth at Veeam. And the way we’ve built and evolved our single platform for Modern Data Protection – to be simple, flexible, reliable and powerful – continues our solid reputation of the being the industry standard and providing the highest level of value to customers. Over the next two days, VeeamON attendees will not only hear about how they can leverage our solutions to advance their data protection strategies, but will also see a glimpse into the future. We delivered more than 20 new products and major product updates over the last 18 months, but there is so much more to come.”

Since Veeam was founded more than a decade ago, it has continuously been expanding and strengthening its platform as the market evolves to new environments. Quickly known as the very best backup solution for VMware vSphere, Veeam has continued to evolve along with market demands by adding solutions for multiple hypervisors, physical systems, SaaS offerings (Microsoft Office 365), public cloud environments, and most recently, is now doubling down on modern infrastructure like Kubernetes (with the recent acquisition of Kasten). Modern Data Protection, defined by Veeam, provides a single platform for data resiliency to protect every workload, access all platforms with a single experience, reduce operational costs, and ensure guaranteed recovery.

Veeam recently announced another quarter of double-digit growth with an annual recurring revenue (ARR) increase of 25% year-over-year (YoY) for Q1’21 – the thirteenth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. Veeam highlights strong growth in the Enterprise segment with two-thirds of the bookings coming from net new licenses vs. only one-third from renewals. Veeam continues to release new features and enhancements ideal for Enterprise environments, which has resulted in +246% growth YoY in large-deal transactions. Contributing to this specific segment growth is 17 NEW product releases since VeeamON 2020 (12 months ago) that span the ecosystem of cloud, virtual, physical, SaaS and application-specific environments, including Veeam Backup & Replication v11. V1 first launched in 2008, and this year V11 of the company’s flagship product was released in Q1’21 with an additional 200 new and powerful backup, cloud, DR, security and automation enhancements. With 1 million active Veeam Backup & Replication installations, the product is now the most widely deployed Enterprise backup software in the world – more than several of its competitors combined.

Veeam also released Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v5 at the end of 2020. As the most deployed Microsoft Office 365 solution in the industry, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 has been Veeam’s fastest growing product for the past 2 years, reporting 222% growth YoY and now downloaded by more than 175,000 organizations with 15 million mailboxes being protected.

Veeam credits its growth to being software-defined, hardware-agnostic, cloud-ready and flexible. In addition to 83 primary storage arrays and 85 secondary storage systems, Veeam has officially validated support for 37 object storage systems, 12 of which are immutable – including support across all three hyper-scalers (AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Storage) and available in all 3 respective marketplaces. Veeam boasts more than 1EB of data protected with object storage in just the past 2 years.

Recent industry recognition also aligns with Veeam’s growth and momentum. In the most recent IDC Semi-Annual Software Tracker for Data Replication & Protection 2H’20[i], Veeam had the fastest revenue growth, both sequentially (21.5%) and YoY (17.9%) in 2H’20 among the top five vendors, all other vendors combined and overall market average. Gartner, Inc. positioned Veeam in the Leaders quadrant of the 2020 Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions[ii]. Not only does this mark the fourth time Gartner has recognized Veeam as a category Leader, but it is the first time Veeam is positioned highest overall in Ability to Execute. Veeam was also the only vendor to move higher in both Ability to Execute and in the Completeness of Vision axis. Additionally, for the first time in company history, Veeam was recently named to Financial Times’ Americas Fastest Growing Companies 2021.

“Although our history of solid growth and profitability is unrivaled in the industry, I believe that Veeam will become the #1 industry leader in total revenue within the next 2 years, what I am most proud of is that we helped 400,000+ customers around the world with their Modern Data Protection. Veeam is protecting the data that is powering our global digital economy,” added Allan.

Veeam’s single platform for protecting and managing resources in multi-cloud environments, including AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, delivers cloud mobility to backup, recover and migrate workloads across any environment, ensuring up to 50X lower costs when natively protecting cloud workloads.

• Veeam Platform gains cloud-native backup and recovery
  Veeam now provides cloud-native support for the three leading hyperscale public clouds – AWS, Azure and Google Cloud – under a single platform across hybrid-/multi-cloud environments. This also includes Cloud Mobility for backup, recovery and migration across on-premises and public clouds.
• Lowest cost long-term retention and archive for native backup of AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
  Veeam unveiled support for archive object storage for all three leading hyperscale public cloud providers
  • AWS = Amazon S3 Glacier and Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive
  • Azure = Azure Archive Storage
  • Google Cloud = Archive Cloud Storage

• Expanded support for cloud-native backup and recovery
  • AWS = Amazon EFS (Elastic File System)
  • Azure = Azure SQL

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v6 will deliver NEW Self-Service Portal and integration to Azure Archive and AWS S3 Glacier

• NEW Self-Service Portal increases the ROI for enterprises and service providers by lowering the load on IT departments (thereby enabling them to focus on other tasks) and puts recovery in the hands of the user. This helps organizations divide work across teams, improves the way restores are handled and saves the time and effort of building their own portals, providing faster access to critical data.
• NEW Office 365 Backup Copy to Azure Archive and AWS Amazon S3 Glacier: For years there has been a debate on how many Office 365 copies are needed, one backup or following industry backup best practices with a backup copy. Now with v6, customers can do either and quickly create secondary copies directly from object storage to Azure Archive, Amazon S3 Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive, with different retention period options. Now users can more effectively achieve the 3-2-1 data protection rule providing additional confidence in restoring Office 365 data.

Veeam support for Red Hat® Virtualization (RHV) backup

• Veeam announces support for our fourth hypervisor in response to customer demands from key verticals, large enterprises, and service providers
• Powerful data protection capabilities for hyperconverged infrastructure with Red Hat to Veeam Backup & Replication
  • Modern data protection for Red Hat® Virtualization
  • Reduced management complexity delivered by standardizing on Veeam’s control plane
  • Improved storage usage delivered via intelligent Veeam storage repositories

• Agentless, image-level backup and recovery of RHV VMs
• Efficient data protection that leverages Changed Block Tracking (CBT) for greater efficiency
• Centralize and manage RHV backups in Veeam backup repositories

Veeam repository integration for Kasten K10 for Kubernetes

• Prepare for the future of containerized product development and support DevOps and PlatformOps today by expanding the data protection services of Kubernetes.
• Provides customers with an integrated, centralized location for storing mission critical backups of Kubernetes workloads
• Kasten K10 can write to the many Veeam storage repositories for centralized data management, which includes disk, solid state, object storage, cloud, and even tape
• Expand options for storing Kubernetes backups in the cloud, on premises and in ransomware-proof immutable locations
• Include Kasten workloads into the automated backup data lifecycle management for complete policy management

Completion of venture acquisition by Insight Partners, acquiring Kasten, releasing 16 major releases including the highly-anticipated Veeam Availability Suite v10, and massive cloud success drove Veeam to more than 400,000 customers and record sales

COLUMBUS, OH – February 10, 2021 — /BackupReview.info/ — Veeam® Software, the leader in Backup solutions that deliver Cloud Data Management™, today reported results for its fiscal year 2020. Veeam kicked off 2020 with the completion of its acquisition by Insight Partners, which was announced on Jan. 9 at a valuation of $5 billion, setting the pace for a year of substantial growth and expanded success across all market segments, culminating with Veeam’s acquisition of Kasten, the market leader for Kubernetes Backup and Disaster Recovery (DR), in Q4’20.

“Even with the unforeseen challenges and circumstances that began in early 2020, Veeam continued its rapid growth with its second consecutive year of bookings over $1 billion and a 22% year-over-year (YoY) increase in annual recurring revenue (ARR),” said William H. Largent, chairman and CEO at Veeam.

During 2020, Veeam’s vision for hybrid cloud drove the company to continued growth, surpassing 400,000 customers. Specifically, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365, Veeam’s fastest growing product for the past two years, reported 73% growth YoY. Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 has now been downloaded by more than 154,000 organizations, representing over 15 million user mailboxes. Version 5, released in December 2020, adds purpose-built backup and recovery for Microsoft Teams, making it easier than ever for users to quickly find and restore Teams data, including entire groups, specific channels and settings. Protecting this data is more critical than ever, as the shift to remote working has created an explosion in Microsoft Teams adoption over the past year, with 115 million daily active users as of October, up 475% from 20 million daily active users almost 12 months prior.ⁱ

“Insight Partners’ acquisition [of Veeam] at the beginning of the year definitely fueled a fire within Veeam right out of the gate,” said Danny Allan, chief technology officer and senior vice president of product strategy at Veeam. “We then announced the general availability of Veeam Availability Suite™ v10 which included 150+ new features and set the bar for the next generation of data protection. Despite the challenges that were then presented by the global pandemic to our employees, customers and partners, Veeam continued to focus on its vision and during the year launched 16 major releases to meet the new data backup and protection demands of our customers. As we continue our Act II journey into the hybrid cloud and containers, we’re embracing and developing new technologies. I’m very excited about the upcoming announcement of version 11 of our flagship product, Veeam Backup & Replication™ later this quarter, which will further strengthen Veeam’s commitment to modernize our customers’ data protection practices.”

Recent releases strengthen Veeam’s AWS backup and recovery strategy with new support for Amazon RDS and Amazon EKS, Kubernetes with Kasten K10 and more

COLUMBUS, Ohio, AWS re:Invent — December 8, 2020 — /BackupReview.info/ — Veeam® Software, the leader in Backup solutions that deliver Cloud Data Management™, today announced the general availability of NEW Veeam Backup for AWS v3 — a fully automated and native backup and disaster recovery solution built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), designed to effortlessly provide additional protection and management capabilities for Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS). Built with reliability, cost-effectiveness and security top of mind, Veeam Backup for AWS v3 is designed to drastically minimize the risk of data loss for data on AWS. This new support and feature set is available in two packaging options, allowing organizations to choose the data protection solution that best fits their needs:

• Veeam Backup for AWS, a standalone AWS backup and recovery solution for protecting data on AWS
• Veeam Backup & Replication™, unifying AWS backup and recovery with other cloud, virtual or physical data and unlimited data portability to, from and across clouds

“We are excited to deliver Amazon RDS support in this latest version of Veeam Backup for AWS,” said Danny Allan, chief technology officer and senior vice president of product strategy at Veeam. “With the number of active AWS users exceeding 1 million^[i], it’s no surprise that this support has been the most requested feature from our Veeam customers and prospects. Not only is there an amazing market opportunity, but it’s also the right time for us to fulfill a great need for our customers and stay ahead of the curve. Our recent acquisition of Kasten further strengthens our commitment to support our customers’ business transformation to future-ready architectures. Veeam’s ability to now also protect and mobilize Kubernetes workloads in AWS via Kasten K10 data management platform is certainly a major differentiator in this space.”

Veeam Backup for AWS v3 now delivers AWS-native backup and recovery of Amazon RDS databases with the same reliability, cost-effectiveness and security benefits customers have come to expect from Veeam solutions. Users are able to fully automate backups of Amazon RDS with flexible policies and scheduling, and can subsequently overcome any data loss using fast recovery options to restore entire databases from an exact point in time in just seconds. Additional new functionality includes:

• Support for backup and recovery of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) settings — even across AWS accounts and AWS Regions — for troubleshooting, disaster recovery and dev/test purposes

“Customers are using a growing range of cloud apps and infrastructures that are generating mission-critical data. As a result, multi-cloud data management and protection has become strategic, especially considering increased cyberthreats and strict compliance requirements.
