Leaseweb Global expands Veeam Backup Integration to global entities
Leaseweb Global , a leading hosting and
cloud services provider , has announced the integration of Veeam-powered solutions with its Leaseweb Cloud Services . Veeam is a leader in backup solutions that deliver cloud data management . The new services are available in several Leaseweb locations across the globe : Amsterdam-1 and Amsterdam-2 , London , Frankfurt and will be available in Washington , D . C . before the end of the year . Organisations that trust Leaseweb to help them expand internationally are now able to enter into different regions knowing they have Veeam ’ s industry-leading solutions integrated with their Leaseweb cloud services .
This announcement comes on the heels of the recent market introduction of Leaseweb Cloud Connect and further demonstrates the company ’ s commitment to continued investment in its cloud portfolio . This announcement is in direct response to customer requests for cloud services to be accessible at each of their global entities .
Leaseweb and Veeam first partnered in 2018 when Leaseweb launched its Backup- as-a- Service offering at its first cloud data centre facility in Amsterdam . Over that period , Leaseweb has grown its cloud services through a strong commitment to increasing and improving its high-performing cloud services while continuing to offer them at competitive pricing .
Through the success and growth of Leaseweb ’ s cloud offerings , the company learned its customers wanted to extend deployment of these same services into their global offices to ensure both a close proximity to its customers while also maintaining full control of the data . Moreover , companies seeking to grow internationally requested that these solutions be available in additional strategic markets . The expansion of the partnership means that the service is now more widely available across Leaseweb ’ s network of entities – with more locations planned for 2021 .
“ One current market trend is the expansion of the ‘ as-a-Service ’ model . This is due to companies increasingly moving towards cloud solutions – be it private , public or hybrid or multi-cloud ,” said Gonzalo de la Rocha , Product Manager at Leaseweb Global . “ The current global situation is a challenge for many companies . Most are feeling the need to both become more efficient while taking on the extra project of moving workloads to cloud models . At the same time , this large amount of data being moved to the cloud requires a leading technology to be properly managed and protected in terms of security and resiliency . Veeam allows us to offer the resiliency and control our customers need , available with no entry fees and under competitive OPEX models .”
As a leader for data centre backup and recovery solutions and majority market share holder , Veeam was the obvious partner choice for Leaseweb – a company which is devoted to helping organisations scale their businesses reliably and effectively . Veeam is a 100 % channel-focused business and its customer-satisfaction scores are the highest in the industry at 3.5x the average , with proven capabilities through upwards of 375,000 global customers .
“ This expansion of our Leaseweb partnership into new territories is taking place at a time when organisations need to guarantee the protection and management of their data more than ever before ,” said Bert van Meel , Senior Territory Manager , Cloud , Benelux at Veeam . •
