Today Veeam Software announced record results for its fiscal year 2018. The company is claiming $963 milling in total bookings, up 16% year-over-year. Veeam also stated that it has added roughly 4,000 new customers per month over the last year.
Veeam is still a private company so we can’t get into the nuts and bolts of its earnings and cash. The company did have a massive, half a billion funding round last month. At the time we stated it was odd for a company as large as Veeam to go looking for cash. But with investors looking to sink $500 million in them, they must be doing something right. As stated above, Veeam saw an increase of total booking of 16% YoY, marking its twelfth consecutive year of organic double-digit bookings growth. And they added 48,000 new customers in 2018.
Aside from that they had a few other highlights throughout the year including:
- Veeam announced RTM for new cloud data management capabilities as part of Veeam Availability Suite 9.5 Update 4, followed by recent general availability.
- Veeam for Windows and Linux physical servers and workstations (Veeam Agents) and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 were the fastest growing products in Veeam’s history with 129% and 549% YoY respectively. Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 has now been downloaded by more than 55,000 organizations, representing over 7 million user mailboxes.
- The Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) segment grew 23% YoY, now with 21,700 Cloud Service Providers, 3,800 licensed to provide Cloud Backup & DRaaS using Veeam Cloud Connect.

Mutual investments by both HPE and Veeam are expected to fuel continued commitment and accelerated pipeline growth in 2019.
