Veeam Software today announced that the customer adoption of is Veeam Availability Suite v8 has gone above and beyond company expectations. The company reported that 36% of existing users upgraded to v8 within 90 days of the product announcement, and that there have been an average of 1200 downloads of the software per day.
“Today’s users are more demanding than ever before, generating ever-increasing amounts of data and they expect 24/7 access to applications and data – this places an immense burden on IT to deliver,” said Ratmir Timashev, CEO at Veeam. “Organizations that fail to deal with this ‘availability gap’ [the gap between the requirements of the Always-On Business and IT’s ability to effectively deliver] will falter in the coming year.”
Veeam reported that customers were easily able to upgrade to v8 in a matter of minutes. Top features/benefits were Veeam Explorer™ for Microsoft Active Directory (21 percent), enhancements to Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange (19 percent), Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SQL Server (18 percent) and replication enhancements (17 percent).
