Backup as-a-Service, Disaster Recovery as-a- Service or even Archive as-a-Service.
Veeam Data Cloud( VDC) is perfectly architected to address such needs, ensuring an organisations’ data is managed without worrying about storage or implementation complexity. The service is protecting organisational data end-toend, whether that’ s on cloud, on-premise or in their hybrid environments.
Veeam’ s presence across the Middle East, Saudi and Bahrain is ever present and growing. But with major events such as LEAP being postponed, how is that conversation evolving?
LEAP is an important event for us and the region. We have been participating since the beginning, and we’ re still coming strong. Since LEAP has been postponed, Veeam Software is also going to sponsor an executive lounge. This helps us spread the right awareness and knowledge of Veeam capabilities. We’ re a multinational organisation that wants to ensure that every company in Saudi Arabia has full trust and reliability on our technologies.
At the event in August, we will have more than 35‘ Veeamers’ in place to help our customers, partners and the entire community understand what Veeam data resilience is all about.
What differentiates Veeam in today’ s evolving IT landscape?
Worldwide, it’ s the speed of innovation and our audacious plans. In Saudi Arabia, it’ s our expansion and our operations that align with Vision 2030.
We have more than 1000 active customers in Saudi Arabia and more than 250 customers in Bahrain. We have a strong partner ecosystem. We have the right engineers that are Veeam certified. Additionally, we’ ve recently published the Veeam User Group – a certified community to equip engineers across multiple organisations with a Veeam know-how.
We work with multiple stakeholders at the same organisation – the infrastructure team, the security team or the data privacy team. Our software today has changed the game for much more than backup or recovery. It’ s all about ensuring that data and the life cycle of this data is purely protected with full control and visibility.
Veeam has always been a leader in data resilience and that remains central to our strategy. But with the rapid rise of AI and autonomous agents, the way organisations secure and govern data is evolving.
Protecting data is no longer just about resilience – it’ s about building trust across security, governance, privacy and compliance.
Through the acquisition of Securiti AI, Veeam is bringing these critical elements together into a single, unified platform. This expanded vision combines data resilience with advanced security and governance capabilities to close the AI Trust gap.
Our platform empowers organisations with complete visibility, control and confidence over their data – both in production and backup – delivering a seamless foundation where resilience is an essential part of a larger ecosystem that drives safe, trusted AI at scale. • www. intelligentcio. com
