Our take
The increasing reliance of businesses on data and the growing volume of data generated make organisations more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Veeam is a leading provider of backup, recovery, and data management solutions, focusing on simplifying backups for virtual machines, achieving any recovery objective, maximising investments, and reducing management overhead.
Veeam continuously introduces product updates, recently including cloud-native solutions to protect data across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The company currently safeguards data for over 400,000 customers worldwide, including over 80% of the Fortune 500 and 70% of the Global 2,000, with clients like Fujitsu, Siemens, and VW.
Its acquisition by Insight Partners in 2020 enables Veeam to expand into new markets, fueling its continued growth. Veeam is poised to remain a leader by driving industry innovation and staying ahead of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.
