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; Dell subsequently acquired Quest.
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. Veeam gained attention in 2007 with its free VM backup copy product, FastSCP 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. Veeam Backup & Replication started supporting Microsoft Hyper-V in 2012.
In 2014 Veeam held its first conference on data protection called "VeeamON", which took place in Las Vegas, Nevada.
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. In the same year Veeam released Veeam FastSCP for Microsoft Azure, a tool for copying files between on-premises and Microsoft Azure VMs.
In 2016 Veeam launched Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365, a software utility for backing up Office 365 Exchange servers. In 2017 Veeam introduced Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows and Veeam Agent for Linux. Both applications are dedicated to physical workloads data protection with various backup / restore scenarios incl. cloud.
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.
This resulted in two new products:
- Veeam nworks Management Pack for VMware allowed users to directly integrate VMware management into Microsoft System Center Operations Manager.
- Veeam nworks Smart Plug-In for VMware allowed users to directly integrate VMware management into HP OpenView.
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.
Late 2015 Veeam won "Backup and Recovery/Archive Product of the Year" from SVC Awards.
In 2017, Veeam was included for the second consecutive year as one of the "Leaders" in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Software.
