COLUMBUS, Ohio--(Business Wire)--
Veeam Software, award-winning provider of systems management tools forVMware
virtual datacenter environments, today announced significant growth in every
area of its business during the first three quarters of 2009. New bookings
revenue in the third quarter grew 207 percent over the same quarter last year,
and for the nine-month period, new bookings revenue grew 152 percent compared to
the first nine months of 2008, including the previously acquired nworks products

currently adding new customers at the rate of 600 per month. 
* Partners - the company now has more than 3,000 ProPartner resellers and more
than 20 distributors worldwide. Veeam is committed to continued growth and
support for its channel partners. 
* Products - during the first nine months of this year, Veeam made available 10
major product updates to its suite of systems management software for virtual
server management. Veeam Backup & Replication, the Veeam nworks Management Pack
and Smart Plug-in for VMware, Veeam Monitor and Veeam Reporter Enterprise
customers on maintenance received two major updates during this time at no

to Veeam FastSCP. 
* Employees - Veeam now has nearly 200 employees worldwide, having expanded its
local presence across North America, EMEA and the Asia Pacific regions during

"Veeam`s success is rooted in our technical innovation and customer
responsiveness," explained Ratmir Timashev, Veeam President and CEO. "We seek
out and act upon customers` feedback to create innovative solutions to their
problems, which means we meet and exceed their expectations within weeks or
months, while our competitors often take years. This is how Veeam is taking away
market share from competitors who have been in this space longer. Our channel
partners have found our products significantly superior, and that gives them a
competitive advantage in helping their customers." 

Veeam products, which are entering their fourth and fifth generations, span a
broad portfolio. The newest product in Veeam`s portfolio, Veeam Business View,
is a free add-on tool that works with Veeam`s other products to group, view and
manage virtual machines based on criteria such as business unit, department,
location, server purpose or service level agreement. This alternate view of the
VMware infrastructure supports the new Cloud Computing paradigm by helping end
customers and VMware hosting providers to easily link every virtual machine to a
specific customer and business service, as well as by facilitating reporting and
chargeback, and helping control "VM sprawl." 

During the first three quarters of the year, Veeam also received several
important product certifications, including being named a Dell ISV Basic
Certified Partner, with the Veeam Management Pack for VMware certified as part
of the Dell ISV Partner Program. Veeam was also one of the first independent
software vendors to achieve VMware Ready Optimized status with its nworks
Management Pack for VMware and its nworks Smart Plug-in for VMware. 

"Our aggressive growth in the first three quarters of the year puts us in an
ideal position for a strong finish to 2009 and even greater success in 2010,"
Timashev added.
