20,000 CUSTOMERS WORLDWIDE NOW USE VEEAM BACKUP & REPLICATION

Columbus, Ohio, May 10, 2011 – Veeam Software, world-renowned for innovative data protection and virtual infrastructure management solutions, today announced that its flagship product, Veeam Backup & Replication, is now used by 20,000 customers and protects more than 1.5 million virtual machines (VMs). In just over 3 years since its first release in February 2008, Veeam Backup & Replication has become the #1 market leader in virtualization backup and recovery. In addition, it has won 5 top virtualization industry awards in 6 months. In a recently issued report by Gartner®, Inc. titled Market Share Analysis: Storage Management Software, Worldwide, 2010, the authors (Alan Dayley, Matthew Cheung and Dave Russell, May 3, 2011) state that Veeam grew at more than 200 percent in VM backup in 2010. “In 2010, Veeam became the mindshare leader in VM recovery,” said Ratmir Timashev, President and CEO of Veeam. “The implementation ease and breadth of capabilities in Veeam Backup & Replication have successfully filled a void long-felt by server administrators. Innovation is what sets Veeam apart. We listen carefully to our customers’ requirements and deliver the functionality they need to realize the full benefits of virtualization, enabling them to improve business processes and reduce cost, effort and risk.” Designed specifically for virtual environments, Veeam Backup & Replication provides cost-effective and comprehensive image-based data protection. With groundbreaking vPower technology, Veeam Backup & Replication performs functions not possible with physical backup tools or other virtual backup solutions. It can run a VM directly from a compressed and deduplicated backup file, resulting in these 5 industry firsts:

1. Instant VM Recovery: Restore an entire VM from a backup file in minutes. Users remain productive while IT troubleshoots the issue.
2. U-AIR (Universal Application-Item Recovery): Recover individual items from any virtualized application, on any operating system, without additional backups, agents or software tools. Eliminates the need for expensive special-purpose tools and extends granular recovery to all applications and users.
3. SureBackup Recovery Verification: Automatically verify the recoverability of every backup, of every VM, every time. Eliminates uncertainty and sets a new standard in data protection.
4. On-Demand Sandbox: Create test VMs from any point in time to troubleshoot problems or test workarounds, software patches or new application code. Eliminates the need for dedicated test labs and overhead from extra VM snapshots.
5. Instant File-Level Recovery for any OS or file system: Recover an entire VM or an individual file from the same image-level backup. Extends instant file-level recovery to all VMs.

Veeam’s innovation has resulted in many industry firsts for Veeam Backup & Replication:

• Version 1.0: First 2-in-1 backup and replication solution; first to provide instant file-level recovery from an image-based backup (February 2008)
• 2.0: First to support backup of VMware ESXi and provide advanced VSS support for hot backups (July 2008)
• 3.0: First to provide instant file-level recovery for Linux (February 2009)
• 4.0: First to support VMware vSphere, Changed Block Tracking and replication to VMware ESXi for near-continuous data protection (Q4 2009)
• 5.0: First to win 5 major industry awards, thanks to vPower (September 2010–February 2011)
