Veeam, a global data protection provider for cloud, virtual, SaaS, Kubernetes and physical workloads, has announced another quarter of double-digit growth with an annual recurring revenue (ARR) increase of 25% year-over-year (YoY) for the first quarter of 2021.
According to Veeam, double-digit growth across the globe is a testament to the early success of NEW Veeam Backup & Replication v11, their advanced data protection solution for cloud, virtual, SaaS, Kubernetes and physical workloads.
Released in Q1’ 21, Veeam Backup & Replication v11 has brought Veeam customers 200 new backup, cloud, DR, security and automation enhancements. With more than 130,000 unique downloads of Veeam Backup & Replication v11 since general release in February 2021, the product would average more than one download per minute. The new 4-in-1 solution combines backup, replication, storage snapshots and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) to protect each phase of the data life cycle, while handling all the complexities of a multi-cloud environment for AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform.
