GEC NEWS WIREVeeam has surpassed 16,700 service provider partners in response to the high demand for Veeam-powered cloud offerings for data availability, protection and management. Building on its 10 years of leadership in providing always-on availability for virtual workloads, Veeam has expanded its capabilities to physical environments as well as multi-cloud support for Microsoft Azure and Azure Stack, Amazon Web Services, IBM Cloud, and support for SaaS applications including NEW Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 1.5. As the demand for uninterrupted digital experiences continue, Veeam experiences steadfast momentum.
“This quarter, we surpassed the bookings in our cloud business, exceeding what we did in that business in all of 2016. With an increase of 72 percent year-over-year Cloud bookings for Q3 and more than 1 million VMs now protected with Veeam-powered cloud services from our Veeam Cloud & Service Provider partners, our momentum is clear – Veeam has now expanded its leadership position as the No. 1 Availability provider for any app, any data, on any cloud. As we persist on our high trajectory of growth and gain marketshare from legacy vendors, our commitment to partners and alliances is enabling us to scale to meet our goal of $1.5 billion in bookings revenue by 2020” said Peter McKay, Co-CEO and President of Veeam.
In today’s digital economy, organizations are embracing a multi-cloud strategy to drive increased innovation, speed time to market, and optimize cost. But as workloads expand, and user expectations for Availability increase, many organizations are left vulnerable.

To continue to satisfy the needs of service provider partners, meet the needs of their customer’s environments, and differentiate themselves from the competition, Veeam has expanded its product portfolio to provide an even greater range of cloud offerings. The NEW Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 version 1.5 adds new scalability and multi-tenancy support for enterprise deployments and service providers offering managed Office 365 backup services.
