8 years ago

As a giant step towards Delivering next generation of Availability for virtual, physical, and cloud-based workloads to enable the Always-On Enterprise, Veeam has unveiled the Veeam Availability Platform for the Hybrid Cloud.

By 2019, most organizations around the world will need to complete the shift to a predominantly cloud-based IT environment, and this places a huge pressure on availability tools to deliver a constant experience across multiple environments.

In a game-changing move to address these challenges, Veeam Availability Platform for the Hybrid Cloud provides businesses and enterprises of all sizes with the capabilities to ensure Availability for virtual, physical, and cloud-based workloads in the Hybrid Cloud.

“Veeam Availability Platform for the Hybrid Cloud represents an inflection point for Veeam,” said Peter McKay, President and COO at Veeam. “More than 200,000 Veeam customers have embraced our availability solutions over the past 10 years, and as we look to the future, Veeam Availability Platform dramatically expands our capabilities and market penetration. It marks a new era in how we address enterprise requirements for a comprehensive Availability solution for virtual, physical, and cloud-based workloads. It strengthens our position as a principal innovator and a leader in enterprise Availability for years to come.”

“Enterprises are engaged in a continuous digital transformation process as they adapt to or drive disruptive changes in their customers and markets. Success in these digital transformation efforts depends upon data and application availability in the hybrid cloud” said Phil Goodwin, Research Director Protection, Availability and Recovery at IDC. “A recent worldwide survey of Veeam customers conducted by IDC revealed solid availability business results, including significant improvements in SLA compliance, downtime, and IT operations management time as compared to other solutions used prior to Veeam.”

“Having knowledge of what the future will look like, with an understanding of the Veeam product roadmap is key,” said Mario Angers, Manager Systems at University of British Columbia (UBC). “It allows us to develop the roadmap for our community cloud service offering, which we can then communicate to our clients.”

Veeam also unveiled new capabilities supporting Microsoft Office 365. NEW Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 enables an enterprise to work anywhere and at any time without the need to maintain its own email infrastructure.
