VeeamON 2017

Diving into the world of backup and availability.

- Peter Chu

Most consumers tend to disregard the importance of regularly backing up their data until they personally experience their entire system crashing down on them, wiping out everything in the process. But when you’re running a multinational company, you really cannot afford to deal with such a calamity. Because even if the downtime were to only last for a couple of hours, it would still nonetheless translate to millions of dollars in lost revenue.

And this is where backup and availability solutions provider, Veeam, comes into the picture. Veeam strongly believes that in this day and age, it is essential for businesses both small and large to be ‘Always-On’ – meaning they should be up and running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

How exactly does Veeam help businesses and enterprises achieve such a seemingly unattainable goal? We were recently invited by the company to attend its three-day VeeamON 2017 conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, to find out.
