GEC NEWS WIREVeeam Software revealed that preliminary interest for its newest solution, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365, has exceeded initial expectations with more than 1,500 beta downloads in a matter of days, showing customers are eager to take control of their Office 365 Exchange Online data.
Peter McKay, President and COO at Veeam said, “Blending Microsoft’s historic dominance in the email space with cloud’s promise to save IT departments time, resources and cost, it’s easy to bet on Office 365 as the email platform of the future. While no longer needing to manage and maintain email-related systems is a breath of fresh air for IT departments everywhere, it’s critical to remember that it’s still their [the business’] data — they control it — and it’s their responsibility to protect it. The business reigns over the availability of their data, and with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 we’re giving them the tool to do just that for Office 365 Exchange Online!”
“The key to protecting data isn’t having siloed tools and interfaces for on premises, and cloud hosted data. Email on Office 365 is the most important information that commonly lives in the cloud today and Veeam by going down this path is demonstrating leadership in the hybrid cloud backup era,” commented John Nicholson, Senior Technical Marketing Manager at VMware and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 beta user.
