Availability solutions leveraging multiple cloud infrastructures are a critical component of any company’s Digital Transformation efforts. According to IDC, over the next three years, 67 percent of enterprise IT infrastructure and software will be focused on the Cloud. With information at the nucleus of any organization, Cloud based DRaaS will be essential to meet Availability and compliance requirements in the modern Cloud era. In fact, Gartner estimates the DRaaS market will nearly triple within the next two years, hitting $3.4 billion by 2019.
Recognizing this dramatic shift and building on 2016’s exponential success where Veeam reported 79 percent YoY growth across its Cloud business, this year the company and its partners will invest up to $200 million through an exclusive offer that delivers free Backup and DRaaS services through its world-leading ecosystem of providers and resellers.

“We are at an inflection point in the industry where enterprises who have not adopted a DRaaS strategy will suffer business consequences – higher TCO, slower operations, and lost competitive advantage. It’s now a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’ enterprises will move to adopt,” said Peter McKay, President and COO of Veeam. “We have more than 230,000 customers that rely on Veeam to deliver 24.7.365 data and application Availability, and many of these want to embrace the opportunity that Cloud presents, which is why Veeam is delivering solutions for private, managed, public and hybrid cloud infrastructures via Veeam Availability Platform for Hybrid Cloud. Along with our partners [14,300 VCSPs and more than 45,000 resellers] Veeam recognizes this and we are fully committed to major investments supporting our partners and end-users moving to the Cloud.”
