Veeam boasts bookings boost from enterprise customers

Number of resellers on the vendor's ProPartner Programme hits 33,000

Backup software vendor Veeam has released its second-quarter results which show a 22 per cent annual increase in revenue bookings, much of which came from enterprise customers.

The Veeam Cloud Provider (VCP) programme – which is home to 8,500 service providers and cloud partners – has experienced an 88 per cent boost in transactions compared with last year. Revenue bookings specifically from enterprise customers rose 64 per cent annually in Q2.

In addition to the revenue bookings spurt, the number of channel partners on the vendor's ProPartner Programme has hit 33,000.

Plus it has added 11,700 customers to its database, meaning it now serves 157,000 customers with its software, which is being used on 9.1 million machines globally.

Some 70 per cent of Fortune 500 companies and 48 per cent of the Global 2000 are now using Veeam's services.

Ratmir Timashev, CEO at Veeam, said: "During the last quarter we saw strong growth in not just our enterprise business, but we also broke the 150,000 barrier in terms of total number of customers, further indicating that businesses of all sizes are tired of legacy backup and are hungry for next-generation availability solutions as delivered by Veeam."

Veeam's team of employees has grown to 1,860 individuals worldwide. Futhermore, it reports that more than 10,000 users have signed up to stay informed about its upcoming Availability Suite v9 – expected for release later this year.
