Veeam® Software, renowned for its leadership in Data Protection and Ransomware Recovery, has unveiled two new offerings that seamlessly merge the reliability of Veeam’s backup and restore capabilities with the simplicity of Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS). The launch of Cirrus by Veeam signifies a significant development, offering a robust, flexible, and user-friendly BaaS solution available for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure customers.

Cirrus by Veeam, available today, empowers companies with a streamlined approach to managing and administering their backup operations while benefiting from the resiliency of Veeam technology. This innovative BaaS offering provides a simplified yet powerful solution for data protection, meeting the diverse needs of businesses.

Danny Allan, CTO at Veeam, emphasized, “450,000 customers trust Veeam to protect their business and keep it running, which has led us to become the #1 global provider of data protection and ransomware recovery. We’re now giving customers those trusted capabilities – for Microsoft 365 and for Microsoft Azure – delivered as a service.”

Key highlights of Cirrus by Veeam:

1. Simplified SaaS Experience: Users can now enjoy a seamless Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) experience without the hassle of managing infrastructure or storage.

Cirrus for Microsoft 365 and Cirrus for Microsoft Azure provide tailored solutions to meet the specific data protection needs of businesses operating in these environments. With this launch, Veeam continues to advance its mission of providing world-class data protection and recovery solutions, delivering the confidence and reliability customers trust.
