GEC NEWS WIREVeeam Software, has experienced strong – and accelerating – demand for its Backup for Microsoft Office 365 since the product’s initial release. Over 25,000 organizations have downloaded the software, representing in aggregate more than 2.3 million Microsoft Office 365 users. From Q2 2017 to Q3 2017, sales for Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 grew 83%. In the most recent fiscal quarter, from Q3 2017 to Q4 2017, sales grew even faster with the release of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v1.5, at 327%, accelerating Veeam’s overall momentum – and reporting 4 consecutive quarters of growth.
“As organizations increasingly move to cloud-based applications like Microsoft Office 365, they need to clearly identify and understand who is responsible for what. For example, Microsoft takes on management of the infrastructure built underneath Office 365 while companies have complete control over its data to ensure availability to users and meet the needs of compliance and legal requirements,” said Paul Mattes, Vice President of Global Cloud Group at Veeam.
The new release of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v1.5 has resulted in a large influx of Enterprise adoption due to several sizable scalability enhancements, led by a multi-repository, multi-tenant architecture addition which enables protection of large enterprise Office 365 deployments with a single installation. Vodafone Espana, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Fresno County Sheriff Department IT team, College Success Foundation, and the City of Mairie de Versailles are all leveraging the scalability and reliability of the Veeam solution. In addition, this new release provides the ability for 18,000 Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) Partners to offer Office 365 backup services to enable their clients to protect critical email data in the event of a malicious attack, human error or outage.
Veeam is also seeing strong usage via hybrid email deployments. Veeam enables enterprises to back up Office 365 email data as well as on-premises exchange with the same solution. Customers can store the data in their choice of location, whether that’s in a public cloud like Microsoft Azure or on-premises. Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 simplifies management of a hybrid email deployment and migrates mailbox data and users between Office 365 and on-premises Exchange.
