Veeam

Veeam Software is a privately held software company that develops data protection and disaster recovery solutions for virtual, physical, and cloud environments. The company is known for its backup and replication capabilities and its focus on rapid recovery and availability of workloads across on-premises data centers and public clouds.

Founded in 2006 by Ratmir Timashev and Andrei Baronov in Baar, Switzerland, Veeam released its first backup product in the late 2000s and expanded its platform to cover virtual machine backup, replication, monitoring, and orchestration. The flagship product is Veeam Backup & Replication, a comprehensive data protection platform that provides image-based backups, instant VM recovery, replication, and automated recovery testing.

Veeam Availability Suite combines Backup & Replication with Veeam ONE for monitoring and reporting. Additional offerings include Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, Veeam Availability Orchestrator, Veeam Cloud Connect, and cloud-native backups for public clouds. The company emphasizes ease of use, fast recovery, and scalability across diverse environments.

Technologies and approach: Veeam supports VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, along with Nutanix AHV, and focuses on features such as scale-out storage repositories, incremental forever backups, and verified recoveries. It serves enterprises, service providers, and mid-market customers through a broad partner ecosystem and global support network.

As of the 2020s, Veeam remained privately held with a global presence and ongoing product expansion, maintaining a prominent position in the data protection market and continuing to adapt to hybrid and cloud-centric workloads.
