Zero Trust’s policies have increasingly become the cornerstone of a modern and effective cybersecurity strategy. However, most Zero Trust policies do not include the security of data backup and recovery systems, although 93% of ransomware attacks target backup repositories and 75% of those attacks are successful. While many organizations are following Zero Trust schemes, they also need to apply these tools to data backup and recovery to reduce downtime and be more resilient against ransomware. That is why, in 2024, it is essential that organizations start following the Zero Trust Data Resilience (ZDTR) model, which applies practical tools of zero trust such as access with minimal privileges and immutability to backup and data recovery. These practices will make the difference between organizations that survive ransomware attacks and those that don’t.

By 2024, companies must be smarter in their defenses against ransomware

Looking ahead to 2024, we can expect to see more specialized ransomware attacks targeting specific sectors. Attacks will generally be more significant and cause more damage. Managers need to stay on top of threats and the market landscape and focus on the fundamentals-not the latest and best security solutions-such as training, preventive planning and stronger defenses. Partnering with experts will also provide better defensive measures. Companies that surround themselves with the right people with experience in ransomware prevention will get better results than those that take on this task alone.

2024 will not be the year when AI radically changes

We’ve already seen the buzz that has formed around blockchain and Web3 in recent years, and generative AI is no different. Although much of the “AI boom” occurred in 2023 and LLMs (Large Language Models) have been around for almost a decade, we cannot expect any case of innovative use or wider adoption for quite some time, in the next ten years or so. Instead, generative AI will have the greatest impact on individual productivity, such as marketing. Next year, use cases for internal versus external processes for the benefit of customers will be the main focus. We, of course, have to be aware of the distinction.

Will industrial cloud platforms revolutionize the company?

Not so fast.

Some experts estimate that Industrial Cloud Platforms (ICP) will be the next big thing to help companies streamline their business processes. However, Industry Cloud Platforms (ICP) are just verticalized clouds for a specific sector, not revolutionary new tools. What is actually happening is a shift from generalized global system integrators to more specialized partners with experience in a specific vertical. Instead of a specialization of the cloud in a sector, it is expected to see more specialization in services in 2024.

Business Challenges: Budget and Security in the Ransomware Era

While ransomware attacks are increasingly aggressive and frequent, when it comes to investing in storage the budget is the main impediment, because many organizations are still unaware of the investment to make to have a strong cybersecurity strategy. Backup is not simply insurance, but is part of the business continuity plan along with the cybersecurity part.

Technology alliances for full integration with Kasten by Veeam

By 2024, it will be critical to continue working on strengthening partnerships between Veeam and its technology partners, creating a symbiosis to provide customers with the highest quality products and services for their data security strategy. Work will continue on further integration between Veeam and Kasten. Since its acquisition in 2020 it has functioned as a stand-alone unit and is now being fully integrated into Veeam’s portfolio.

Transformation with resellers

About partners, we can see a significant evolution and change. The reseller is no longer the same, it requires certain trainings and new skills to get involved in what Veeam is offering. Consumer behaviour is changing, partners have to adapt to new consultation habits. Times of change are shorter and everything is faster, so continuous training and incentive programs are a priority.

Highlights of the report:

• While new IT workloads are launching in the cloud at far faster rates than old workloads are being decommissioned in the data center, a surprising 88% brought workloads from the cloud back to their data center for one or more reasons, including development, cost/performance optimization and disaster recovery.
• With cybersecurity (including ransomware) continuing to be a critical concern, data protection strategies have evolved, and most organizations are delegating backup responsibilities to specialists, instead of requiring each workload (IaaS, SaaS, PaaS) owner to protect their own data. The majority of backups of cloud workloads are now being done by the backup team and no longer require the specialized expertise or added burden of cloud administrators.
• Today, 98% of organizations utilize a cloud-hosted infrastructure as part of their data protection strategy. DRaaS is perceived as surpassing the tactical benefits of BaaS by providing expertise around Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) planning, implementation and testing. Expertise is recognized as a primary differentiator by subscribers choosing their BaaS/DRaaS provider, based on business acumen, technical IT recovery architects, and operational assistance in planning and documentation of BCDR strategies.
• Unfortunately, as is often the case for new cloud-hosted architectures, some PaaS administrators are incorrectly presuming that the native durability of cloud-hosted services relieves the need for backup:
  34% of organizations do not yet back up their cloud-hosted file shares, and 15% do not back up their cloud- hosted databases.

“The growing adoption of cloud-powered tools and services, escalated by the massive shift to remote work and current hybrid work environments, put a spotlight on hybrid IT and data protection strategies across industries,” said Danny Allan, CTO and Senior Vice President of Product Strategy at Veeam. “As cybersecurity threats continue to increase, organizations must look beyond traditional backup services and build a purposeful approach that best suits their business needs and cloud strategy. This survey shows that workloads continue to fluidly move from data centers to clouds and back again, as well as from one cloud to another — creating even more complexity in data protection strategy. The results of this survey show that while modern IT enterprises have made significant strides in cloud and data protection, there is still work to be done.”

“The APJ market has been exhibiting a similar tendency, with 91% of organizations bringing workloads back to their data centers due to disaster recovery failback, staging versus production and complications in optimising cloud for workloads. Therefore, it’s essential for businesses to strengthen their data protection strategies to ensure they can withstand the complexities presented by repatriating workloads and ensure seamless migration of data,” said Sandeep Bhambure, Vice President, Veeam India and SAARC.

The Veeam Cloud Protection Trends Report 2023 findings include:

Software as a Service (SaaS):

90% of organizations realize they need to back up Microsoft 365. The report revealed only 1 in 9 (11%) organizations do not protect their Microsoft 365 data — a promising majority of 89% use third-party backups/BaaS or enhanced tiers of Microsoft 365 for legal hold, or both.

As data protection strategies have evolved and ransomware continues to be a top concern, most organizations are delegating backup responsibilities to backup specialists, instead of requiring each workload (IaaS, SaaS, PaaS) owner to protect their own data. This fuels the progression of backup becoming a conventional component tasked to the traditional backup admin versus the application team.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):

While organizations of all sizes now embrace hybrid-cloud architectures, it is not a one-way journey to the cloud that reduces the importance of the modern data center.

30% of cloud-hosted workloads were from “cloud first” strategies, whereby new workloads are starting in clouds at far faster rates than old workloads are being decommissioned in the data center.

98% of organizations utilize a cloud-hosted infrastructure as part of their data protection strategy, including cloud-storage tiers, cloud-infrastructure as their disaster recovery site, or the use of BaaS/DRaaS providers.

88% of organizations brought workloads from the cloud back to their data center for one or more reasons (development, cost/performance optimization, or disaster recovery) — highlighting a need for 2023 data protection strategies to ensure consistent protection and the ability to migrate, as workloads move from data center to cloud, cloud to data center, or from one cloud to another cloud.

The majority of backups of cloud workloads are now being done by the backup team and no longer require the specialized expertise or added burden of cloud administrators. However, while nearly every organization acknowledged having long-term regulatory mandates, only half of organizations retain backups of their cloud data for even one year.

Platform as a Service (PaaS):
While most organizations initially “lift and shift” servers from the data center to IaaS, most agree that running foundational IT scenarios, such as file shares or databases, as native cloud-services is the future for mature IT workloads:

76% run file services within cloud-hosted servers and 56% run managed file shares from AWS or Microsoft Azure
78% run databases within cloud-hosted servers and 65% run managed databases from AWS or Microsoft Azure.

Backup and Disaster Recovery as a Service (BaaS/DRaaS):
Nearly every IaaS/SaaS environment also utilizes cloud services as part of their data protection strategy in some form.

58% of organizations utilize managed backup (BaaS) compared to the 42% that utilize cloud storage as part of their self-managed data protection solution. Of special interest, nearly half (48%) started with self-managed cloud storage but eventually switched to BaaS.

Nearly every organization (98%) claims to use cloud services as part of their data protection strategy, though that varies from cloud storage as a repository to full-fledged BaaS or DRaaS services.
BaaS is predominantly sought for gaining operational and economic efficiencies, as well as assuring data survivability from disasters and ransomware attacks. It is notable that BaaS is no longer seen as the “tape killer” that early pundits offered, with organizations stating that nearly 50% of their data is still stored on tape during its lifecycle, regardless of their use of cloud-based data protection services.

DRaaS is perceived as surpassing the tactical benefits of BaaS by providing expertise around BCDR planning, implementation, and testing. Expertise is perceived as a primary differentiator by subscribers choosing their
BaaS/DRaaS provider, based on business acumen, technical IT recovery architects, and operational assistance in planning and documentation of BCDR strategies.

This year’s report showed a significant shift from last year as customers are increasingly interested in outsourcing their backups and gaining a “turnkey” or “white-glove” level of management service instead of the internal IT staff continuing to manage BaaS-delivered infrastructure. This shift indicates that experience and trust in providers is increasing and could also point to challenges over the past year with the IT talent supply chain.

The Veeam Cloud Protection Trends Report 2023, born from the annual Veeam Data Protection Trends Report, is the result of a third-party research firm that surveyed 1,700 unbiased IT leaders from 7 countries (US, UK, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, New Zealand) on their use of cloud services in both production and protection scenarios to deliver the largest single view into the trajectory of hybrid strategies across the modern IT enterprise in today’s cloud-first digital landscape. The broad-based market study was conducted to understand the various perspectives on responsibilities and methodologies related to operating and protecting cloud-hosted workloads, and considerations when using cloud-powered data protection.

“Veeam continues on an amazing growth trajectory, reporting its 18th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth with an annual recurring revenue (ARR) increase of 22% year-over-year (YoY), on a constant currency basis, for Q2’22,” said Danny Allan, CTO and Senior Vice President of Product Strategy at Veeam. “Now a Magic Quadrant Leader for the sixth time in a row, we believe our innovation and ability to execute validates our solid standing as the #1 trusted provider of modern data protection.

Our consistent innovation and product-led growth are on full display at VeeamON 2022 as we continue to set the very highest product standards and respond to customer demands for redefining security, achieving resiliency and delivering future-ready solutions.”

Veeam Backup & Replication v12

With more than 850,000 downloads of Veeam Backup & Replication v11, Veeam has continued innovation and expansion of its expansive feature set with the highly anticipated Veeam Backup & Replication v12. For the first time, Veeam unveiled V12 at VeeamON 2022, previewing even more capabilities in cloud, security and enterprise focus areas. Veeam is further hardening the capabilities customers need in today’s ever-changing IT ecosystem, including the new capabilities below:

• Additional cloud accelerated features including direct writes to object storage and cloud-based agents
• Immutability everywhere provides greater control and protection for even faster ransomware recovery and protection from cyberthreats
• Additional enterprise applications support and innovations ease day two operations and optimize for greater efficiency at scale
• Centralized visibility and management of Kubernetes data protection with the new Veeam Backup & Replication plug-in for the new Kasten by Veeam K10 V5.0.

“Against a backdrop of increased cyber threats, exponential data growth and relentless cloud adoption,  protecting data and systems at scale, wherever they live, has become a must-have for organizations (of all sizes) around the world,” said Christophe Bertrand, program director at ESG Research. “Our research shows that there are significant data protection disconnects – and therefore data loss risks – when it comes to cloud-resident data, applications, containerized services, and as-a-service platforms. That’s why this new release of Veeam V12 is significant:  it not only builds on their proven platform but expands the ability to reduce business risk through improved data and systems security recoverability at scale.”

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v7

In addition, Veeam demonstrated advanced monitoring and reporting for the upcoming Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v7, expected later this year. As the Microsoft 365 backup market leader, with over 11M users under paid contract, the new version will include enterprise-grade monitoring and reporting capabilities as a result of integration with Veeam ONE, helping to keep systems and infrastructure running smoothly thanks to built-in intelligence. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v7 provides:

• Total visibility: Single view of all Microsoft 365 backup architecture and components
• Proactive management: Real-time alerts to quickly resolve data vulnerabilities
• SLA confidence: Detailed reports provide peace of mind and protection

Veeam Backup for Salesforce

Following the success of its Microsoft 365 product, Veeam has provided the first sneak peek into Veeam Backup for Salesforce, a much sought-after addition to Veeam’s portfolio. With the ability to back up in the cloud and on-premises, the new offering eliminates the risk of losing Salesforce data and metadata. Key highlights include:

• Control and flexibility: Own your data, avoid backup and storage lock-in and deploy your backup environment anywhere you choose
• Salesforce-native backup and recovery: Purpose-built for Salesforce using native APIs. Restore Salesforce records, hierarchies, fields, files and metadata.
• Quickly recover from data loss: Protect against human error, integration issues and other common Salesforce data loss scenarios

“I’m excited to show these new innovations for the first time to our customers and partners at VeeamON 2022,” added Allan. “The fact that Veeam moved more data in the first quarter of 2022 than we did in all of 2020 proves that organizations need better intelligence, data mobility, an ecosystem of collaboration and a hybrid world. We understand the power that data has to solve real-world challenges, to change the course of history and its impact on individuals. To hold that data for hundreds of thousands of organizations all over the world is a responsibility we are honored to be trusted with.”

All solutions demonstrated at VeeamON will be generally available later in 2022.

“Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 reported 73% growth YoY, with 8.5 million users relying on Veeam to protect their Microsoft 365 data, including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business and Microsoft Teams,” said Danny Allan, CTO and SVP of Product Strategy at Veeam. “Within all SaaS platforms, including Microsoft 365, the organization owns and controls their own data, and it’s the organization’s responsibility to protect it. The growth and momentum of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is an indication that more organizations are realizing the importance of managing and securing their data, and consistently trust Veeam with critical business assets.”

50% of backup and SaaS admins list accidental deletions as their top motivator for protecting Microsoft 365, citing the time spent restoring user data as a pain point due to frequent accidental deletions. NEW Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v6 introduces the self-service restore portal for Microsoft 365 environments, which empowers IT administrators to securely delegate restores of emails, files and more from one centralized location. Restore scenarios, like simple user accidental deletions, will not require an IT admin’s assistance and can be done independently by users and/or delegated to a group of restore operators without the need to provide direct access to the backup server — saving time while maintaining administrative security.

Now with over 300 million commercial paid seats, Microsoft 365 data is being generated at a rapid rate, and organizations are holding onto more data as retention policies evolve. This has created a need for organizations to leverage low-cost object storage as they retain growing electronic intellectual properties. To meet this demand, Veeam has added backup copy to Amazon S3 Glacier, Glacier Deep Archive and Azure Archive for a secondary copy on low-cost, long-term object storage with options for various retention periods. This enhancement of cloud object storage integrations is in addition to AWS S3, Azure Blob, IBM Cloud, Wasabi and other S3-compatible providers that were already included in previous releases.

Veeam released the first version of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 in November 2016. The continued innovation in this latest release is designed to further accelerate Veeam’s leadership in the Microsoft 365 backup market. NEW Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v6 provides:

Automation and scalability for enterprise organizations and service providers  

Time savings inhandling restores and not having to build and maintain your own portal 

Enhanced security with multi-factor authentication (MFA) access to restore data  

Recovery confidence with a secondary copy of data in low-cost object storage

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is designed for IT departments that use Microsoft 365, as well as Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partners who want to offer Microsoft 365 backup services to their customers. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v6 is now generally available. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Community Edition provides FREE backup and recovery of Microsoft 365 data for up to 10 users, 10 teams and one TB of SharePoint data.

The company today kicked off its seventh annual user event, VeeamON 2021, delivering a clear overview of its vision and strategy for the most advanced data protection solutions for cloud, virtual, SaaS, Kubernetes and physical workloads. VeeamON 2021 looks back at how Veeam and their ecosystem of partners have endured a challenging year and delivered simple, flexible, reliable and powerful data management and protection solutions to more than 400,000 customers. Highlights include interactive and inspiring sessions from Veeam’s leadership team – including CEO Bill Largent, CTO and SVP Product Strategy Danny Allan, and SVP Product Management Anton Gostev – as well as guest speakers from the City of New Orleans, Maritz and Nuance.

“Veeam is the largest storage company that’s not making storage or infrastructure, and is by far the #1 pure play data protection vendor on the planet,” said Danny Allan, CTO and SVP Product Strategy at Veeam. “We moved more than 100 PB of data into our top three cloud object storage providers alone in just the first quarter of 2021, compared to 242 PB in all of 2020, and we recently surpassed 1 million active Veeam Backup & Replication installations. The movement of data into cloud and expanding cloud data management is accelerating. Data storage in the cloud is just one of the engines that is driving massive growth at Veeam. And the way we’ve built and evolved our single platform for Modern Data Protection – to be simple, flexible, reliable and powerful – continues our solid reputation of the being the industry standard and providing the highest level of value to customers. Over the next two days, VeeamON attendees will not only hear about how they can leverage our solutions to advance their data protection strategies, but will also see a glimpse into the future. We delivered more than 20 new products and major product updates over the last 18 months, but there is so much more to come.”

Since Veeam was founded more than a decade ago, it has continuously been expanding and strengthening its platform as the market evolves to new environments. Quickly known as the very best backup solution for VMware vSphere, Veeam has continued to evolve along with market demands by adding solutions for multiple hypervisors, physical systems, SaaS offerings (Microsoft Office 365), public cloud environments, and most recently, is now doubling down on modern infrastructure like Kubernetes (with the recent acquisition of Kasten). Modern Data Protection, defined by Veeam, provides a single platform for data resiliency to protect every workload, access all platforms with a single experience, reduce operational costs, and ensure guaranteed recovery.

Veeam recently announced another quarter of double-digit growth with an annual recurring revenue (ARR) increase of 25% year-over-year (YoY) for Q1’21 – the thirteenth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. Veeam highlights strong growth in the Enterprise segment with two-thirds of the bookings coming from net new licenses vs. only one-third from renewals. Veeam continues to release new features and enhancements ideal for Enterprise environments, which has resulted in +246% growth YoY in large-deal transactions.

Contributing to this specific segment growth is 17 NEW product releases since VeeamON 2020 (12 months ago) that span the ecosystem of cloud, virtual, physical, SaaS and application-specific environments, including Veeam Backup & Replication v11. V1 first launched in 2008, and this year V11 of the company’s flagship product was released in Q1’21 with an additional 200 new and powerful backup, cloud, DR, security and automation enhancements. With 1 million active Veeam Backup & Replication installations, the product is now the most widely deployed Enterprise backup software in the world – more than several of its competitors combined.

Veeam also released Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v5 at the end of 2020. As the most deployed Microsoft Office 365 solution in the industry, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 has been Veeam’s fastest growing product for the past 2 years, reporting 222% growth YoY and now downloaded by more than 175,000 organizations with 15 million mailboxes being protected.

Veeam credits its growth to being software-defined, hardware-agnostic, cloud-ready and flexible. In addition to 83 primary storage arrays and 85 secondary storage systems, Veeam has officially validated support for 37 object storage systems, 12 of which are immutable – including support across all three hyper-scalers (AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Storage) and available in all 3 respective marketplaces. Veeam boasts more than 1EB of data protected with object storage in just the past 2 years.

Recent industry recognition also aligns with Veeam’s growth and momentum. In the most recent IDC Semi-Annual Software Tracker for Data Replication & Protection 2H’20^[i], Veeam had the fastest revenue growth, both sequentially (21.5%) and YoY (17.9%) in 2H’20 among the top five vendors, all other vendors combined and overall market average. Gartner, Inc. positioned Veeam in the Leaders quadrant of the 2020 Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions^[ii]. Not only does this mark the fourth time Gartner has recognized Veeam as a category Leader, but it is the first time Veeam is positioned highest overall in Ability to Execute. Veeam was also the only vendor to move higher in both Ability to Execute and in the Completeness of Vision axis. Additionally, for the first time in company history, Veeam was recently named to Financial Times’ Americas Fastest Growing Companies 2021.

“Although our history of solid growth and profitability is unrivaled in the industry, I believe that Veeam will become the #1 industry leader in total revenue within the next 2 years, what I am most proud of is that we helped 400,000+ customers around the world with their Modern Data Protection. Veeam is protecting the data that is powering our global digital economy,” added Allan.

Veeam today showcased a glimpse into its roadmap through 2021 and how the company will continue to provide its customers with the most advanced data protection across all environments – cloud, virtual, SaaS, Kubernetes and physical.

“Over the past 18 months, Veeam enjoyed its most prolific product launch period, bringing to market more than 20 new offerings such as Veeam V10 and V11, Veeam Backup for Google Cloud, updates for Veeam Backupfor Microsoft Azure, AWS & Microsoft Office 365 and many, many more,” said Danny Allan, CTO & SVP, Product Strategy at Veeam. “We are continually innovating and know customers are looking to protect their data across multi-cloud environments; with Veeam’s single platform we are helping our customers ensure that every piece of data, every workload is safe, secure and easily recoverable no matter where they reside.  We are proud of our success, and that we are now #2 in the market, and we know that this is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Expanded cloud-native capabilities for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud

Veeam’s single platform for protecting and managing resources in multi-cloud environments, including AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, delivers cloud mobility to backup, recover and migrate workloads across any environment, ensuring up to 50X lower costs when natively protecting cloud workloads.

Veeam Platform gains cloud-native backup and recovery

Veeam now provides cloud-native support for the three leading hyperscale public clouds – AWS, Azure and Google Cloud – under a single platform across hybrid-/multi-cloud environments. This also includes Cloud Mobility for backup, recovery and migration across on-premises and public clouds.

Lowest cost long-term retention and archive for native backup of AWS, Azure and Google Cloud:

Veeam unveiled support for archive object storage for all three leading hyperscale public cloud providers.

-AWS = Amazon S3 Glacier y Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive
-Azure = Azure Archive Storage
-Google Cloud = Archive Cloud Storage

Expanded support for cloud-native backup and recovery

-AWS = Amazon EFS (Elastic File System)
-Azure = Azure SQL

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v6 will deliver NEW Self-Service Portal and integration to Azure Archive and AWS S3 Glacier

In this way, it promises to increase the ROI for enterprises and service providers by lowering the load on IT departments (thereby enabling them to focus on other tasks) and puts recovery in the hands of the user. This helps organizations divide work across teams, improves the way restores are handled and saves the time and effort of building their own portals, providing faster access to critical data.

New Office 365 Backup Copy to Azure Archive and AWS Amazon S3 Glacier

For years there has been a debate on how many Office 365 copies are needed, one backup or following industry backup best practices with a backup copy.  Now with v6, customers can do either and quickly create secondary copies directly from object storage to Azure Archive, Amazon S3 Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive, with different retention period options. Now users can more effectively achieve the 3-2-1 data protection rule providing additional confidence in restoring Office 365 data.

Veeam support for Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) backup

Veeam announces support for our fourth hypervisor in response to customer demands from key verticals, large enterprises, and service providers. It also delivers powerful data protection capabilities for hyper-converged infrastructure with Red Hat to Veeam Backup & Replication: Modern data protection for Red Hat Virtualization; Reduced management complexity delivered by standardizing on Veeam’s control plane; and improved storage usage delivered via intelligent Veeam storage repositories.

In addition, it offers agentless image-level backup and recovery of RHV VMs; and efficient data protection that leverages Changed Block Tracking (CBT) for greater efficiency; as well as allowing RHV backups to be centralized and managed in Veeam backup repositories.

Veeam repository integration for Kasten K10 for Kubernetes

Veeam expands Kubernetes data protection services to help containerized product development and support DevOps and PlatformOps.

With Kasten K10 integration, it enables customers to write to the many Veeam storage repositories for centralized data management, which includes disk, solid state, object storage, cloud, and even tape.

Additionally, it offers options to store Kubernetes backups in the cloud, on premise and in ransomware-proof, immutable locations.

It also allows Kasten workloads to be included in automated backup data lifecycle management for complete policy management.

“With these demonstrations, we are upping the ante for Modern Data Protection, ensuring our customers can protect ALL workloads across ALL environments; Veeam continues to set the standard for the industry,” added Allan. “Veeam has proven itself to be in tune with customer needs – the feedback we have received for V11 proves that – and I am confident with these new solutions coming to market later this year, we’ll yet again deliver on what our 400,000+ customers require and help them drive their digital transformation journeys.”

Veeam Software today announced general availability of NEW Veeam Backup & Replication v11, enabling the most advanced data protection solution for Cloud, Virtual, Physical and Enterprise workloads.  With more than 200 new features and enhancements, the single solution for comprehensive data management is powerful and flexible enough to protect each phase of the data life cycle, while handling all the complexities of a multi-cloud environment for AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform.

“Veeam released V10 with more than 150 new enhancements just 12 months ago, and now has more than 700,000 downloads. Being able to launch the next version — Veeam Backup & Replication v11 — with an additional 200 new and powerful backup, cloud, DR, security and automation enhancements speaks volumes to Veeam’s speed of innovation, as well as our strong commitment to the needs and data reliability demands of our customers and partners,” said Danny Allan, Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of Product Strategy at Veeam.

451 Research reports that 69% of enterprises indicate at least 75% of their workforce can now effectively work remotely. ith workloads accelerating to multi-cloud ecosystems and workers increasingly operating remotely, data is harder to manage and control than ever before. In response to the new data protection challenges customers faced in 2020 and in anticipation of those to come this year, the new V11 includes reliable security and ransomware protection that fends off increasing risks of cyberthreats now and into the future, delivering unprecedented resiliency for companies of any size.
