Veeam 2024 Cloud Protection Trends Report Provides New Insight Into Cloud‑Powered Data Protection Strategies

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Veeam Software, the #1 leader by market share in data protection and ransomware recovery, today released the Veeam 2024 Cloud Protection Trends Report, a comprehensive research project that explores the use of cloud-powered protection mechanisms for production data. The new report examines various cloud-based data protection strategies, including cloud storage, Backup as a Service (BaaS), Managed BaaS, and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). The findings are based on 1,600 unbiased responses from IT decision-makers responsible for data protection of their on-premises servers or workloads and use cloud services as part of their data protection strategy.“Enterprises are starting to realize that it’s not if or even when they will suffer from a ransomware or cyberattack, but how many times,” said Dave Russell, senior vice president of strategy at Veeam. “As the #1 leader in data protection and ransomware recovery, Veeam’s latest Data Protection Trends Report finds that two of the top drivers affecting changes in data protection strategy are the desire to integrate cyber technologies with data protection and backup, and secondly, the improved, consistent protection of cloud-hosted workloads. As our recurring market research watched the evolutions within the BaaS market, customer preference that ‘the first-party software vendor should deliver BaaS’ has risen to become the most important aspect for new buyers. In line with customer demands, Veeam recently launched the Veeam Data Cloud which provides first-party protection of Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure
