IDC predicts that the worldwide market for hosted private cloud, which amounted to US$8.9 billion in 2014, will grow at a CAGR of 35.4% to reach US$40.6 billion in 2019*. To enable partners to maximise this opportunity, deliver trusted availability solutions via the cloud and carve out new routes to market,Veeam Software, the provider of solutions that deliver availability, today announced Veeam Managed Backup Portal for Service Providers.

“IT solution providers are facing many disruptive challenges in 2015 and beyond. To succeed, they must be selling the 3rd platform of cloud, analytics, mobile and social, they must be more strategic to their customers, and they must embrace the new consumption economy,” commented Darren Bibby, Program Vice President, Channels and Alliances Research at IDC.
