Veeam Software is a privately held information technology company that develops backup, disaster recovery and virtualization management software for VMware and Hyper-V virtual environments.[3][4] The company focuses on products that increase the resistance of virtualized workloads, reduce downtime, and ensure the system availability required by service-level agreements. The company’s headquarters is based in Baar, Switzerland.[5]
The name "Veeam" came from the phonetic pronunciation of the letters ”VM,” as in virtual machine.

History

Ratmir Timashev and Andrei Baronov founded Veeam in 2006. (Timashev and Baronov had sold their previous IT management software company, Aelita Software Corporation, to Quest Software in 2004;[6][7] Dell subsequently acquired Quest.[8]

The first Veeam products, Veeam Monitor and Veeam Reporter, provided virtual-infrastructure monitoring, reporting, analysis and documentation. Later, in 2010, the company combined both products to form Veeam ONE.[9] Veeam gained attention in 2007 with its free VM backup copy product, FastSCP[10] which became a basis for building Veeam's data-protection software for hardware virtualization.

In 2008, with 10 employees, the company released Veeam Backup & Replication, a tool that provided VMware vSphere VMs with incremental backups and image-based replication, with built-in data deduplication and compression.[11] Veeam Backup & Replication started supporting Microsoft Hyper-V in 2012.[12]

In 2014 Veeam held its first conference on data protection called "VeeamON", which took place in Las Vegas, Nevada.[13]

In 2015 Veeam extended its product line with a free backup utility for physical endpoints: Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE. This utility supports PCs running 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows OS and integrates with Veeam Backup & Replication.[14] In the same year Veeam released Veeam FastSCP for Microsoft Azure, a tool for copying files between on-premises and Microsoft Azure VMs.[15]

At the end of 2015 Veeam had 2,000 employees. The company has a number of international offices, including regional headquarters for EMEA in Paris, France, for the Americas in Columbus, Ohio, for the Middle East in Dubai and for the Asia-Pacific region in Sydney, Australia.

Acquisitions

In 2008, Veeam acquired Nworks to further integrate VMware management with Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard enterprise system management platforms.[16]
This resulted in two new products:

In 2012, both products were renamed to Veeam Management Pack and Veeam Smart Plug-In, omitting the word "nworks".

Awards and honors

Ratmir Timashev was named one of the top 25 innovators of 2013 and 2015 by CRN Magazine.[17][18]
Late 2015 Veeam won "Backup and Recovery/Archive Product of the Year" from SVC Awards.[19]
In 2016 Veeam was included as one of the "Leaders" in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Software.[20]
