Veeam Software, innovative provider of backup, replication and virtualization management solutions for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, today announced that the company has expanded its Veeam Cloud Provider (VCP) program with the addition of Veeam Backup Management Suite. The VCP program offers flexible monthly and perpetual licensing to meet the needs of hosting, managed service and cloud providers.
The Veeam Cloud Provider program currently has more than 3,000 participants worldwide. Monthly rental by the virtual machine (VM) is available in more than 70 countries from more than 50 Veeam rental resellers, while perpetual licenses are available from thousands of Veeam resellers around the world.

Their agility in adapting to new and changing business requirements puts them in a good position to compete."[1]
Veeam Backup Management Suite combines Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam ONE in a single, integrated data protection and infrastructure management solution for VMware and Hyper-V that is powerful, easy-to-use and affordable. The suite is available now to VCPs as a per VM monthly rental and as a perpetual license in blocks of 10 VMs.
