Veeam Software, the Availability for the Always-On Enterprise innovator, today announced that its solutions to enable any business to deliver the seamless Digital Life experience users expect continues its momentum, with the company overtaking Commvault in marketshare and industry leader recognition.

In Gartner's Backup & Recovery Marketshare Report 2016, Veeam was ranked No. 4 globally with a 27 percent year-over-year (YoY) growth, surpassing legacy backup providers who posted flat or single-digit growth. Similarly, within IDC's Software Tracker, Data Protection 2016, Veeam was positioned in the top four vendors, once again validating Veeam's vision and ability to execute is being embraced by customers across the globe. 

Testament to Veeam's momentum are its huge gains during Q2'17:

• 27 percent YoY total bookings revenue growth;
• 53 percent YoY bookings growth on $100K+ deals;
• Reaching a new milestone of 255,000 customers worldwide, maintaining its average of adding more than 4,000 new customers each month;
• Increasing Net Promoter Score (NPS) by 11 points to 73, which is more than twice the industry average;
• Massive customer traction with HPE resell agreements during the first full quarter of the relationship.
  

"To say that the market is changing would be a mammoth understatement; end-users are becoming more and more demanding, ransomware and other security threats are having major impact on businesses, and business owners are fighting an uphill battle to constantly innovate and deliver seamless services while remaining competitive," said Peter McKay, Co-CEO and President at Veeam. "Veeam's vision is clear, and over the past few months we have seen huge momentum in not only net new customers and year-over-year bookings growth, but also external validation. As enterprises move to the Cloud, we are experiencing a groundswell of interest in our Availability solutions... our results tell that story! During the last quarter, we have raised the bar with many innovation and partnership announcements, and we are just scratching the surface of what we can achieve."
