Auckland, New Zealand: August 07, 2017 Veeam® Software, the Availability for the Always-On Enterprise™ innovator, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has positioned the company within the Leaders quadrant in the July 2017 Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions for the second consecutive year. The company improved on its Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute in the Leaders quadrant, with the company overtaking Commvault in market share and industry leader recognition, We believe Veeam is the vendor of choice for Enterprises across the globe.
The 2017 "Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions" is an update to the "Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Software" that was last published in June 2016. “As the backup and recovery market has hundreds of vendors, this report narrows
the focus down to those that have a very strong presence worldwide in the upper-end midmarket and large enterprise
environments.”
“We believe that our Leadership position further proves that legacy backup vendors are losing relevance and appeal in this digital transformation era,”
said Peter McKay, Co – CEO and President of Veeam. “We believe our upward movement to the right is the biggest
advancement in both Vision and Ability to Execute, outpacing our competitors and feel it’s validation of our efforts as
we drive ahead as a leader in Availability solutions for the enterprise with multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments.
You don’t average 4,000 new customers each month if your product isn’t reliable, rich in features and functionality, and
supports the needs and demands of today’s 24.7.365 Digital World. With the release of the new Veeam Availability Suite™ v10 expected early next year, Veeam will continue to innovate, execute, and drive our vision by providing customers with
purpose-built solutions while also strengthening our partnerships to address a cloud-centric future.”
“We are immensely proud of this result because the Magic Quadrant (MQ) is a key part of the enterprise evaluation
process and the go-to resource for our enterprise customers across the globe,” said Nathan Steiner, Head of Systems
Engineering, ANZ at Veeam. “We see the MQ as the latest recognition of our rapid growth in the top end of town, where
our multi - cloud offerings are winning broad customer adoption. While we have dominated the SMB market for years, we
are now gratified to see our latest product versions acknowledged as best-in-class by enterprise customers in
head-to-head competition for deals.”
Veeam recently announced 36 quarters of consecutive double digit growth and major market share gains from legacy backup
providers, as well as 27 percent year-over-year growth in total bookings for Q2 2017, further proving the power and
increasing market share of its Availability solutions. Veeam has also made numerous partnership announcements this year
including integrations with Pure Storage, Nutanix, and IBM Bluemix, strengthening its enterprise solution partner
roster.
