New initiatives include a Veeam Accredited Service Partner program, the release candidate of a new Veeam Availability Console and new multi-tenancy in Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365.
Deepening enterprise penetration, increasing cloud business, and improving attach rate on partner VMware and Microsoft sales are at the top of Veeam’s agenda for this year.
The latest addition to Veeam’s free offerings for its community is aimed mainly at Linux servers running in the cloud, but also supports physical Linux servers, and will offer partners ways to monetize it, though some may be down the road.
Veeam is emphasizing that partners not in the cloud need to develop a cloud option for their customers, and opened their VeeamON event by announcing a simple-to-use portal to help partners develop a service provider practice.
