The blog post discusses the opportunity for Virtual Cloud Service Providers (VCSPs) to offer backup and availability services for Microsoft Office 365, particularly in the Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) market. The author highlights the growing demand for these services due to the increasing adoption of Office 365 and the need for third-party backup solutions to ensure data protection and availability.

The post notes that VCSPs who have already deployed Cloud Connect can extend their service to offer Veeam Backup for Office 365 as a service, with billable components including licenses and storage costs. Managed Service Providers can also build in management fees for an end-to-end solution. The author emphasizes the potential for significant storage revenue early on and continued growth as tenants backup and retain more mailboxes.

The author highlights that version 2 of Backup for Office 365 will include the ability to backup SharePoint and OneDrive, further expanding the revenue opportunities for VCSPs. The post concludes by emphasizing the huge market potential and encouraging VCSPs to seize this opportunity before it slips away.
