Why is Veeam
increasing prices?
Throughout
the years, Veeam has increased the overarching feature set as well as the
inherent value of their products considerably though innovation, including the
capabilities within NEW releases of Veeam Backup & Replication v11,
Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure v2, Veeam Backup for AWS v3, Veeam Backup for
Microsoft Office 365 v5 and Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator v4.
Additional
features and capabilities include Continuous Data Protection, Archive Tier,
hardened Linux repository, cloud integration for AWS and Microsoft Azure, among
others, as well as backup for Microsoft Teams and more.
Why is per-socket licensing increasing more than other licenses?
On average,
Veeam is increasing per-socket licenses more because they would like to protect
the long-term value of the solutions their partners offer. As hardware
capabilities continue to increase, they are moving to a flexible, per-workload
licensing model to ensure that their prices match the value of the products they
offer.
Additionally,
there is a shift taking place in the way customers purchase technology
solutions. It’s no surprise that technology is moving further toward more
flexible, portable licensing options.
How does this affect my existing deal registrations?
