Veeam continues to stand out with numerous agentless VM recovery options and unique functions to overcome hypervisor-native limitations. For the last several years, Veeam has been — and continues to be — one of the fastest-growing companies in the backup industry.” With over 250,000 customers, Veeam is now the 4th largest Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software vendor. ”We believe that our Leadership position further proves that legacy backup vendors are losing relevance and appeal in this digital transformation era,” said Peter McKay, Co–CEO and President of Veeam. “We believe our upward movement to the right is the biggest advancement in both Vision and Ability to Execute, outpacing our competitors and feel it’s validation of our efforts as we drive ahead as a leader in Availability solutions for the enterprise with multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments.” As the first Veeam Cloud and Service Provider Platinum Partner in Victoria, Australia, blueAPACHE is delighted with this news.
