history

Veeam was founded in 2006 by Ratmir Timashev after he sold his previous IT management software company, Aelita Software Corporation, to Quest Software , now part of Dell , in 2004 . Some of the former senior executives at Aelita joined Veeam.

The first products Veeam brought to market were the Veeam Monitor and Veeam Reporter software applications for monitoring, reporting, analyzing and documenting virtual infrastructures. The company gained widespread attention in 2007 with FastSCP, a free VM backup product that became the basis of Veeam's data protection software for virtual server partitioning .

In 2008, with just ten employees, the company launched the first version of Veeam Backup & Replication , which enabled incremental data backups integrated with data deduplication and data compression , as well as image-based replication .

In 2014, Veeam hosted its first data protection conference, VeeamON, which was held in Las Vegas , Nevada .

By 2015 Veeam grew to more than 2,000 employees with its headquarters in Baar, Switzerland, as well as 17 worldwide branches and regional company headquarters: for the EMEA region in France, Paris , the American region in Columbus , Ohio , the Middle East in Dubai and the Asia-Pacific space in Sydney , Australia . On November 30, 2018, Veeam Software AG was converted into a GmbH. Since December 21, 2018 it has been operating under the name Veeam Software Group GmbH.
