Veeam Software, innovative provider of backup, replication and virtualization management solutions for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Visionaries" quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup/Recovery Software.

This is Veeam's first time being included in the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup/Recovery Software, which represents a significant milestone in the company's growth. According to the report, "As the backup/recovery software market comprises several dozens, if not hundreds, of vendors, this report narrows it down to those that have strong presence in large enterprise environments, in part measured by Gartner search analytics and Gartner end user inquiry."

"We believe our inclusion in this year's Magic Quadrant is further confirmation of Veeam's success in providing large enterprise customers with powerful, easy-to-use and affordable data protection solutions built for virtualization," said Ratmir Timashev, President and CEO of Veeam. "We'll provide further evidence of our enterprise capabilities with next quarter's release of Veeam Backup & Replication v7 and its two disruptive innovations - built-in WAN acceleration and the ability to back up from storage snapshots - plus seven other market-leading features and more than 50 additional new features and enhancements. We truly enable IT to tackle their ‘3C' problems with capabilities, complexity and cost."
