HOUSTON & LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)– iland, an award-winning global cloud service provider, today announced it has been selected as the Veeam Impact Cloud & Service Provider Partner of the Year for North America. Veeam® Software is the innovative provider of solutions that deliver Availability for the Always-On Enterprise™. This is the second time that iland has been recognized in this way, after winning the same award in 2015. It follows a very strong year for the company, having achieved 300% year-on-year growth with Veeam solutions in 2017. The Veeam Impact Award recognizes the Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partner that demonstrates the best overall performance in the areas of revenue growth, collaboration with Veeam and proactively selling and promoting Veeam’s solutions and adjacent technologies.

Cloud-based backup and disaster recovery adoption is on the rise. Gartner Inc. predicts that “by 2020, the number of enterprises using public cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) as their data center backup destination will double, increasing from 10% at the beginning of 2017”^*. iland and Veeam share the same vision of helping businesses achieve the highest levels of availability and business continuity with market-leading cloud backup and disaster recovery solutions.

iland’s success is a result of its first-class support, expert cloud backup and disaster recovery knowledge and commitment to incorporating a Veeam strategy into its business. iland provides Secure Cloud Backup with Veeam Cloud Connect and secure Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) with Veeam from its global secure VMware-based cloud platform. Its cloud services offer customers the highest levels of service, security and compliance, with flexible pricing to fit changing business needs along with a proven on boarding methodology that streamlines migration to the cloud. Customers also benefit from the advanced visibility and management capabilities enabled by the integration of Veeam Cloud Connect with the award-winning iland cloud console.
