“Rumor”: A currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth.

By definition, a rumor is dubious — at best. That said, many people still interpret rumors as facts. I would now like to address the recent rumors about Veeam directly.

Over the past few days, several media articles have circulated across the globe stating that Veeam is an acquisition target. While we may be a target (frankly speaking, many vendors would probably love to integrate Veeam’s world-class Availability solutions into their own portfolios!), I am happy to state on the record that Veeam is not for sale and this is not part of our company strategy.

For the past decade, Veeam has been innovating Availability solutions that are easily the ... Read more

Today’s HyperFlex version updates from Cisco come almost a year to the day of its launch. The updates are important for organizations — many of which are Veeam customers —interested in the benefits of all-in-one compute, storage, network and virtualization technologies.

Veeam’s relationship with Cisco has continued to strengthen. And last week’s news about our integration with Cisco HyperFlex has made it even stronger.

At just one-year-old with about 1,000 customers to its name, many of our Veeam customers now view Cisco HyperFlex as an important business platform. We’ve watched the rapid growth of ... Read more

Have you suffered downtime in your business over the past 12 months? If you have, you’re not alone. According to our 2016 Availability Report, on average, a business has 15 unplanned downtime events per year, and non-mission critical application downtime is increasing too. Added to that, less than half of the businesses tested their backups (yes, not all backups are successful!), and it paints a worrying picture, a picture that costs businesses around $16 million. Incredible isn't it?

Here at Veeam, the team has spent a lot of time thinking about this costly situation and working on products that help reduce risk of such costs. Today, we’re really Read more

I’ve heard about the "Ransomware as a Service" concept before and it was a big eye opener to me in regards to the real level of threat we could be facing soon. And last week, I found this blog post that went into detail about RaaS and new threats. Take some time to read it, because I think RaaS will change IT as we know it.

It only seems like yesterday that I stepped into my role as Veeam President and COO, but it’s actually been more than eight months — and what an amazing eight months they’ve been! When I took this role, I knew I was joining a special company, one with a rich heritage of innovation and success, a loyal customer base, passionate employees and a terrific reputation in the industry. Veeam’s vision for a highly virtualized, cloud-first era, where 24.7.365 access to information from anywhere, at any time — or Availability, as we call it — is something users can expect and not dream about hooked me.

However, what I heard about Veeam prior to joining the team was a massive understatement, ... Read more

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 ...
