\"Veeam<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the past 11 years, Veeam has become a wildly popular solution for companies that need to back up their VMs, servers, Office 365, and other hosts. The only problem is, with the great amounts of data involved in VM computing comes great responsibility. Achieving a 3-2-1 backup strategy <\/a>can be a daunting task for even the most talented IT professional, and dealing with VM backups doesn\u2019t make it any more economic or attainable. But now we\u2019re offering a solution to make a 3-2-1-compliant backup strategy accessible and affordable for any organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of our customers use Veeam and want a way for their backups to be 3-2-1 backup compliant, but don\u2019t have the budget to keep a second copy of their on-premise data in a different location.\u201d

Before today, your options for complying with 3-2-1 weren\u2019t all that attractive.

But now you have an affordable, seamless option: the B2 Cloud Storage partnership with Tiger Bridge!<\/p>\n
