Veeam Software, the innovative provider of solutions that deliver Availability for the Modern Data Centre, released highlights of its Q3 2014 results, reporting total revenue bookings growth of 65% compared to the same period last year.
The third quarter of 2014 marks Veeam’s 27th consecutive quarter in which total revenue bookings has experienced double-digit percentage growth over the same quarter during the previous year.
“IT has been forced to become strategic now that businesses require 24×7 availability for all applications and data,” says Ratmir Timashev, CEO at Veeam.
“To deliver that level of availability, IT is transforming the modern data centre by bringing together virtualisation, the cloud, and storage technologies so they can provision services and devices faster, strengthen security and control, and reduce operational costs. Veeam’s continued growth illustrates this, and we are seeing steady demand across all geographies and verticals as businesses strive to deliver the application availability users demand.
“I am delighted that Veeam Availability Suite™ v8 is now generally available, as this addition to Veeam’s award-winning portfolio addresses says business continuity requirements and enables the Always-On Business™.
“This new release further extends Veeam’s leading position in the new market of Availability for the Modern Data Centre and introduces more than 200 new features and enhancements, including Veeam Cloud Connect, integration with NetApp and major enhancements in replication and disaster recovery. Its release will help accelerate Veeam’s global and enterprise expansion to meet both market share and revenue goals as we close out 2014.”
