VeeamON 2018: The Future of Hyper-Availability

The annual VeeamON conference has come and gone, leaving in its wake a new vision for the future of hyper-availability. As a member of the Product Strategy team, I had the privilege of attending this year’s event, and I am excited to share my thoughts on what was announced and what it means for the industry.

A New Vision for Hyper-Availability

This year, Veeam did not announce any new products or features, but instead laid the groundwork for what is to come with our new vision and strategy. The company is committed to being the leading provider of intelligent data management solutions for a world where data is highly distributed, growing at exponential rates, and where hyper-availability is desired.

This evolution of our messaging represents an exciting opportunity for Veeam to continue driving innovation in the industry. The company’s vision for hyper-availability goes beyond traditional backup and recovery solutions and encompasses a broader range of data management capabilities, including data protection, data visibility, and data mobility.

The Acquisition of N2WS

One of the highlights of VeeamON 2018 was the announcement of Veeam’s acquisition of N2WS, a leading provider of AWS availability solutions. This strategic move further solidifies Veeam’s position as a leader in the hyper-availability space and expands its offerings to include cloud-based solutions.

The Inaugural Veeam Innovation Awards

Another exciting development was the inaugural Veeam Innovation Awards, which recognized four VCSPs for their innovative use of Veeam’s technology. Probax, a local Perth company, was included as part of the initial group of winners, highlighting the company’s commitment to recognizing and rewarding innovation in the industry.

Media Interviews and Daily Wraps

The event also saw numerous media interviews and daily wraps, providing further insight into Veeam’s vision and strategy for hyper-availability. These interviews and wraps highlighted the company’s focus on delivering intelligent data management solutions that meet the evolving needs of its customers.

Conclusion

VeeamON 2018 was an exciting event that showcased the company’s commitment to driving innovation in the hyper-availability space. With its new vision and strategy, Veeam is poised to continue leading the industry towards a future where data is highly distributed, growing at exponential rates, and where hyper-availability is desired. As a member of the Product Strategy team, I am thrilled to be part of this journey and look forward to seeing what the future holds for Veeam and its customers.
