Using Veeam with Wasabi
Modernising Your Data Foundation: Why Veeam and Wasabi are the Key to Digital Transformation
Many IT leaders find themselves in a difficult position: tasked with driving visionary Digital Transformation (DX) initiatives while simultaneously struggling to maintain crumbling legacy infrastructure. When common processes like backup and recovery are left to languish, they become an anchor that prevents your team from focusing on strategic growth.
As a Wasabi partner, we recognise that a successful future is built on a rock-solid data foundation. Leveraging Veeam alongside Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage provides the modern, reliable, and cost-effective solution needed to bridge the gap between keeping the lights on and true innovation.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Ignoring the need to modernise your backup strategy carries substantial risks:
-
Operational Stagnation: 66% of enterprises admit that DX initiatives are held back by unplanned downtime.
-
Financial Impact: Lost data from mission-critical application downtime costs organisations an average of $102,450 per hour.
-
Staff Attrition: IT personnel stuck managing zombie legacy systems often face a career dead-end, leading to significant demotivation and turnover.
-
The CIO Gap: By 2022, it was predicted that 75% of CIOs who fail to shift towards empowered, innovation-led IT teams will fail in their roles.
