Veeam Software Announced 49 Percent Growth in Enterprise Deals Year-Over-Year

Veeam Software announced a 31 percent year-over-year (YoY) growth in total bookings revenue for Q3 2016. With 71 per cent of Fortune 500 and 51 percent of the Global 2000 now being Veeam customers, the company reported a 49 percent YoY increase in the new license bookings from large enterprise deals, solidifying the increasing demand for 24x7x365 availability, in absence of which advantages received by digital transformation are lost. In addition, the company’s total bookings revenue for Q3 2016 in India grew by 104% percent (YoY).

IDC has predicted that digital transformation initiatives will more than double by 2020, and will act as a primary driver for IT spending worldwide.

To meet the demands of customers, Veeam recently introduced the next generation of comprehensive Availability: Veeam Availability Platform for the Hybrid Cloud. This solution enables businesses and enterprises of all sizes to ensure Availability for virtual, physical, and cloud-based workloads in the Hybrid Cloud.
