The Veeam Data platform in our organization currently protects several Cloud, virtual, and physical workloads. It is difficult to provide an exact number. But for sure, this number has increased since we first acquired the product and is expected to grow. This holds as our customers are increasing every year, and so is our workload.

- Lowered Operational costs.
- Ransomware protection saved unforeseen costs.
Veeam Data platform had a broader customer base and protected multiple virtual, physical, Cloud, and Saas environments. The platform kept pace with the latest technology improvements compared to our previous backup solution, which had become obsolete. We have more choices to back and recover and better cyber threat protection than we experienced before the Veeam Data platform.
Veeam Data platform provides comprehensive solutions for protecting physical, virtual, and Cloud environments. This has helped our organization preserve the workloads deployed in the cloud. With the flexibility of storing backups in the cloud, we could choose the cloud provider to store backups, which helped protect against local failures.
Our organization made use of a NAS/File-share backup solution for protecting our data on Windows and Linux NFS and SMB file shares. The full and incremental backups are reliable, smooth, and super-fast. The solution also helped us to meet our long-term data protection goals for regulatory and compliance purposes.
Veeam Data platform provides a superior and much more reliable experience than the other solutions mentioned. It kept pace with technological advancements to remain relevant today and has a broader service under its umbrella. Its tools have an easy-to-use user interface, better technical documentation, and a powerful Veeam technical support team.
