This week, Veeam hosted its annual user conference, VeeamON 2024, at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. The focus of the event was clear: Veeam is transitioning from a data backup provider to a comprehensive cyber resilience solution company.

Over the three-day event, Veeam was able to showcase the company's latest innovations in data protection, cloud integration, and artificial intelligence (AI). The event provided a platform for Veeam executives to share their vision and unveil new offerings designed to address the evolving needs of its customers in an ever-changing technology landscape. And two of those Veeam executives that VMblog had the pleasure to sit down with were Rick Vanover, VP of Product Strategy, and Shiva Pillay, GM and SVP of Americas.

In the era of exponential data growth, organizations require robust and efficient solutions to manage and protect their valuable information. Backblaze makes it astonishingly easy to store, use, and protect data. The Backblaze Storage Cloud provides a foundation for businesses, developers, IT professionals, and individuals to build applications, host content, manage media, back up and archive data, and more.

In this exclusive VeeamON 2024 interview, VMblog sits down with Don Stewart, Sr. Strategic Alliance Partner Manager at Backblaze, to explore their cutting-edge technology and their strategic partnership with Veeam. Stewart sheds light on the features and advantages of Backblaze's technology and how their collaboration with Veeam strengthens data management and protection.

Backblaze has been part of the cloud storage backup landscape since 2007 and went public in 2021.

B2 Cloud Storage, its open cloud object storage product, is differentiated by its ease of use, affordability, premium customer support, and proven track record of performant and dependable service. Stewart says that the key to their longevity and success is that Backblaze B2 has straightforward, transparent pricing-no minimum retention penalties, no egress charges for up to 3x the data stored (and egress is completely free to most compute and CDN partners), premium support, and no delays in accessing your data when and where you need it.

Veeam Software announced its annual flagship customer and partner event VeeamON taking place June 3-5, 2024 at The Diplomat Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. and online. Now in its 10^th year, VeeamON combines the latest innovation from Veeam with hands-on learning and the opportunity to connect with the world's leading community of data experts, IT leaders, and security specialists.

Key speakers this year include Veeam's CEO, Anand Eswaran, Chief Product Officer, Anton Gostev, Vice President of Enterprise Strategy and Acting CTO, Dave Russell, and Vice President of Product Strategy, Rick Vanover, along with a host of customers, partners, and experts. The event will feature 40+ breakout sessions addressing everything from ransomware threats to data freedom, a solutions expo offering hours of networking opportunities, LabWarz, and exclusive on-site super sessions.

In 2023, AI has been dominating much of the IT conversation. But Ransomware remains a key topic as it continues to threaten organizations of all sizes. As businesses strive to protect their critical data, Object First emerges as a game-changer with their Ootbi solution.

In this exclusive VMblog interview as part of our VMware Explore US 2023 coverage, we sit down with Anthony Cusimano, chief evangelist of Object First, to explore the innovative features of Ootbi and its role in providing simple, powerful, and affordable backup storage for Veeam customers.

Ransomware, Immutability and the Power of Object First Ootbi.

Anthony Cusimano provides valuable insights into the who, what and why of Object First's Ootbi. Built with a focus on simplicity, power, and affordability, Ootbi empowers Veeam customers to safeguard their data with ease. By combining advanced backup storage technology with ransomware-proof features, Ootbi ensures data integrity and protection, even in the face of sophisticated attacks. A key aspect of Ootbi is its immutability feature. By making backup data immutable, Object First prevents ransomware from tampering with or encrypting critical files. This ensures that organizations can recover their data securely, without falling prey to extortion. Anthony Cusimano dives into the technical details of how Ootbi achieves immutability, highlighting its effectiveness in thwarting ransomware attacks. And we take a look at how Object First partners with VMware and solves problems for VMware users and VMware implementations.

In this exclusive VeeamON 2023 video interview, VMblog sits down with Shiva Pillay, the GM and SVP of Americas at Veeam, to discuss his new role of taking over the Americas. Prior to this change, Pillay was in charge of the AsiaPac and Japan (APJ) region for Veeam. Now, he will bring that same level of energy and success to the Americas.

Pillay tells VMblog that companies are facing many challenges in keeping their business running today. It is a far more complex IT environment that encompasses the cloud, SaaS and on-premises resources. At the same time, there’s a growing threat from cyberattacks as ransomware attacks continue to rise in frequency, affecting many organizations at least once. Veeam is focused on helping customers keep their business running by protecting their data and if the worst happens, helping them to recover rapidly.

In this exclusive VeeamON 2023 interview, VMblog sits down with Dave Russell, the VP of Enterprise Strategies at Veeam, to discuss the new Veeam 2023 Ransomware Trends Report which was released during the event.

Looking at the ransomware trends, there is bad news and even worst news. As an example, according to the data in the report, one in seven organizations will see almost all (80%) data affected as a result of a ransomware attack - pointing to a significant gap in protection.

And paying the ransom does not ensure recoverability either. According to the study, while 59% paid the ransom and were able to recover data, 21% paid the ransom yet still didn't get their data back from the cyber criminals. Additionally, only 16% of organizations avoided paying ransom because they were able to recover from backups.

Russell discusses other study findings, and hopes that these findings help raise awareness across the industry. Veeam continues to add features and functionality into their products to help.

One other area of discussion that is important to consider is cyber insurance. What's interesting to note here is that while many companies have taken out and used cyber insurance in the past to help pay a ransom, many will find that this type of insurance may be going away.
