Veeam Software, innovative
provider of solutions that deliver Availability for the Modern Data
Center, today announced that it won its 100,000th customer and posted
record revenue results for the first quarter of 2014. Veeam closed Q1’14
with 48 percent year-over-year growth of new license bookings. In
addition, total bookings revenue growth for Q1 2014 was 56 percent for
the same period, marking Veeam’s 25th consecutive quarter in which
quarterly total bookings revenue has grown by more than 50 percent over
the same period during the previous year.
“Veeam continues to bridge the gap between the requirements of the
Always-On Business and IT’s ability to effectively deliver business
continuity and IT resilience to the majority of businesses,” said Ratmir
Timashev, CEO of Veeam. “Businesses are facing challenges such as data
loss, long recovery times, unreliable data protection and a lack of
visibility into their IT environments. Advanced data protection from
Veeam, combined with virtualization, the cloud and other enabling
technologies, completes the modern data center and ensures that the
critical applications of our more than 100,000 customers remain always
on from any place, at any time, on any device. Our recent partnership
with NetApp as a part of Veeam Backup & Replication v8
is a testament to our ongoing mission to enable the Always-On Business
by providing advanced data protection to the modern data center.”
Additional highlights of Q1’14 include:
- Customer Growth: More than 9,400 new customers were
added in Q1, surpassing the milestone of 100,000 paid Veeam customers.
Veeam continues to acquire new customers at a rate of 3,000 each month.
This customer momentum has also led to Veeam’s first flagship event, Veeam ON: The World’s Premier Data Center Availability Event,
taking place October 6–9, 2014 at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, NV.
Veeam will bring together industry-leading experts and Veeam customers
to learn how to enable the Always-On Business.
- Veeam Cloud Provider (VCP) Program: To better serve
the growing number of managed service providers (MSPs) who use Veeam
Backup & Replication, Veeam joined the Kaseya Technology Alliance
Program and developed an add-on for Kaseya Virtual System Administrator
(VSA).
“We are thrilled to have Veeam join the Kaseya ecosystem. The Veeam
add-on dramatically simplifies management of joint customers’
virtualized environments by exposing Veeam data within the Kaseya
management console,” said Don LeClair, EVP, Product Management at
Kaseya. “Simplified, centralized management of cloud, on-premise,
virtualized and distributed environments is Kaseya’s focus, and this
integration with the virtualized backup market leader adds great
strength to our offering.”
Veeam also added two new VCP rental aggregators in Q1: Insight (U.S.A.) and ECS (China).
- New Partner Margins and Growth: As a 100 percent
channel-based organization, Veeam increased incentives and support to
its worldwide partner base of 25,000 ProPartners. Veeam also launched
its Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) certification, enabling partners to
build professional services and solutions around Veeam within their own
virtualization practices.
- State, Local and Higher Education (SLED) team: In
response to Veeam’s continued growth of the SLED market, a team devoted
specifically to this segment in North America has been created. This
dedicated team understands the specific needs, demands and potential of
this vertical. Veeam’s newly created SLED team will work closely with
the public sector to ensure the challenges they face in maintaining an
Always-On Business are supported and delivered.
