Veeam announced a new initative in partnership with its Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partners that will enable current customers, using Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam Backup & Replication, or Veeam Backup Essentials, to extend their ‘availability’ strategy to the cloud at no cost.
Veeam is giving away up to $200 million through an exclusive Veeam FREE Cloud Services program. Effective immediately, every customer using Veeam for on-premises backup and recovery is now eligible for up to $1,000 in free cloud backup and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) from Veeam and its VCSP partners.
Veeam Cloud Connect enables VCSP partners to offer cloud-based disaster recovery and offsite backup. Today, many customers want to utilize the cloud for backup and disaster recovery (BDR), and others want to offload BDR to a service provider all together. Veeam’s strategy is to partner with cloud and service providers, who are the true experts in delivering cloud and managed services. Therefore, it doesn’t offer its own cloud or managed services, but rather enables VCSP partners to do so.
“Organizations across the globe are increasiblgy adopting cloud platforms for IT and business solutions, and they need an Availability platform that is scalable, reliable, secure and adaptable enough to leverage multi-cloud infrastructures,” said Paul Mattes, Vice President of Veeam’s Global Cloud Group. “We, along with our partners, recognize this opportunity and are fully committing to major investments supporting our partners and end-users, and further delivering on our cloud vision and strategy.”
