These annual awards celebrate the exceptional achievements and unwavering dedication of Veeam Value-Added Resellers (VAR) and Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partners. As a partner-first company, Veeam takes immense pride in acknowledging these partners for their ability to prioritise customer support and leverage the unrivalled capabilities of Veeam's products and related services. These award winners have successfully delivered radical resilience for their customers in today's ever-changing IT landscape, ensuring the enhanced protection and recoverability of diverse workloads, data, and applications.
Alex Walsh, Channel and Alliances Director UK&I at Veeam, said: “Today every single organisation runs on data. Protecting that data and ensuring it can be rapidly recovered if something bad happens is becoming a critical priority. According to the findings of the latest Veeam Data Protection Trends Report, 76% of organisations have suffered a cyberattack in the past twelve months. It's a question of when, not if there’s an attack and that underscores the critical need for organisations to ensure they are cyber resilient, either through in-house efforts or with the assistance of specialised third-party support.”
“At Veeam, we firmly believe that cyber resilience is a collaborative endeavour. From the very beginning, the Veeam ProPartner Network has been meticulously designed as a mutually beneficial framework. It grants access to Veeam's exceptional resources within our partner ecosystem, empowering partners to meet the data protection and recovery needs of customers while simultaneously fostering predictable and profitable business growth. We deeply value and appreciate our local ProPartner Network, whose contributions have been instrumental in our shared 2023 achievements. I congratulate this year´s winners who have surpassed themselves and whose commitment and partnership are truly exemplary and inspiring for the entire network.”
