I have a mantra in life that those who know and work with me have heard many times: Go big or go home. It is the basis for how I live and how I run Veeam; and I am delighted that Veeam is going BIG! We believe we are going big in many ways and today marks yet another step for us. Gartner has just published the 2017 Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup & Recovery Solutions and, for the second consecutive year, Veeam is a Leader.1

We see the Magic Quadrant (MQ) as the latest recognition of our rapid growth in the enterprise end of the market, where our cloud offerings are winning ... Read more

There is no question that ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent. In fact, some have proposed that 2017 is the Year of Ransomware. The WannaCry attack led to the infection of more than 230,000 computers and more recently, the Petya outbreak on June 27, 2017 led to a second global spread of ransomware. While traditional methods of data protection are essential, they are not sufficient.

Traditional data protection strategies have centered around the three foundational components of IT:  people, process and technology. Data protection with people begins with education and a continuous focus on making employees aware of the most ... Read more

We are now witnessing the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution, which continues to change the way we work, live and do business. Technology is now becoming embedded in every aspect of society today and user demand is more intense than ever before.

We now demand instant access to information, data and applications 24.7.365, no matter what device we are using or where we are located on the planet. Enterprises today MUST deliver Always-On services, or services that are always available, across all their environments. Veeam pioneered the market of Availability, and I’m proud to say that we are continuing to make big strides forward in our vision of enabling a seamless Digital Life experience for everyone.

Yesterday, at the Read more

About a month ago, Veeam gathered close to 3,000 attendees in New Orleans, LA for VeeamON 2017, the world’s premier Availability event — a great success for the Veeam family. What puts Veeam in the forefront of innovation and customer satisfaction is our great relationship with our Alliance partners. As the old African proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Veeam’s collaboration with partners is the key ingredient for our global business growth and for our goal to deliver the best Availability solution on the market.

I want to share some key highlights of what our Global Strategic Alliance partners presented at VeeamON ... Read more

In the world of business, a lack of speed can be fatal to your ability to compete. Perhaps that is why many organizations are embracing all-flash storage solutions for their data center environments. All-flash solutions help deliver more predictable performance across business workloads to ensure a more seamless digital experience to customers, partners and end-users. But, you need more than just speed to survive in this digital age. You also need Always-On Availability.

Veeam is attending Pure Storage Accelerate in San Francisco in force this week to promote our joint offerings with Pure, celebrate our ongoing success in the enterprise space and make some exciting announcements about taking our partnership to the next level. ... Read more

Here we are, one year out. Just 365 days separate us from the enforcement of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), one of the biggest changes to how personal data is handled and managed in the last 20 years. If you’re reading this blog, you’re likely affected by it either as an employee of a business with customers in the EU, as a EU citizen yourself or perhaps both.

At Veeam, we believe in rules that protect the rights of consumers, and have welcomed GDPR since it was adopted by the European Council some 14 months ago.

What is it all about, and why now?

In short, GDPR strengthens and gives new rights to individuals over their personal data such as: Who can ... Read more

As I headed for home after my first VeeamON, my main thought was “wow!” I knew when I joined Veeam that there was something special about the community and culture of this company, but I hadn’t realized how special it really was until now. Three things stand out as I reflect on VeeamON: the passion, the level of engagement and the sense of family.

Over the course of three days in New Orleans, it was evident that the passion and enthusiasm I have witnessed within Veeam over the past five months is equally matched by that of our partners and customers. Nearly 3,000 folks came to the convention center in New Orleans where hallways, walls ... Read more

The event that has been named the “largest hacking in history,” where more than 100,000 ransomware attacks affected 150 countries last Friday, reads very much like a script from a Hollywood blockbuster. However, these events occurred and had very real effects on the victims.

The attacks have been stopped since writing this post, but the experts warn that “copy cats” could be encouraged to try this again.

While the majority of focus has been on the source of the vulnerability and the group responsible for these attacks, organizations need to consider what should be done to ensure that these kinds of attacks cause minimal disruption to their applications and systems if they happen again.

As with all malware and ... Read more

We live in a digital world, where users — young and old, at home or at work — demand constant access to information and services. No matter the purpose, we all expect a seamless experience, and this is driving enterprises to re-think their operations to deliver a reliable offering to their consumers. However, it seems that many organizations are facing an uphill battle to do this, and it’s caused by one thing: Poor Availability.

According to research we published today (the 2017 Veeam Availability Report), it seems that enterprises are still struggling with an Availability Gap — the gap between what users need and the service IT can deliver. In fact, 82% of enterprises across ... Read more
