Veeam has categorically declared that it is chasing enterprise customers at its VeeamON conference in Chicago, IL this week. He was somewhat more coy about naming other competitors in enterprise data protection, referring to them as "smaller, venture backed companies". The five stages in the vision (Backup, Aggregation, Visibility, Orchestration, Automation) are stepping stones for enterprises to follow. The greatest challenge I think Veeam faces is how to manage its transition to serving the enterprise without losing what its over 300,000 majority SMB and mid-market customers love about Veeam. For smaller customers that don't need all the complex features at enterprise scope, Veeam will maintain an offering designed and priced for that segment.
