Veeam reports big increase in backup software sales
Veeam Availability Suite v9 will be generally available later this year
Veeam Software has reported a 22 percent year on year increase in total revenue bookings for the second quarter.
“We continue to see enterprises migrate from legacy backup to modern data centre availability solutions as they begin to realise that backup alone is not enough to meet the expectations of their stakeholders,” said Ratmir Timashev (pictured)
, CEO at Veeam.
“During the last quarter we saw strong growth in not just our enterprise business, but we also broke the 150,000 barrier in terms of total number of customers, further indicating that businesses of all sizes are tired of legacy backup and are hungry for next generation availability solutions.”
Veeam Availability Suite v9 will be generally available later this year. In addition, Veeam service provider partners are awaiting new image-based VM replication capabilities being added to Veeam Cloud Connect, which will enable them to offer disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) to customers.
Veeam says it now has 33,000 ProPartners worldwide. It said: “Veeam’s commitment to the channel continues to attract new resellers and VARs to our solutions.”
