Navigating through future technology trends to devising growth strategies – over the past many years, Veeam ProPartner Summit has become an ideal platform of convergence for channel empowerment
“Just like beautiful lines that define marvelous sand dunes and its formation – ProPartner Summit in Jaisalmer defined contours on Data Resilience”
Veeam recently organized its annual ProPartner Summit in Jaisalmer, it was well attended by India’s leading solution providers and channel ecosystem. The Golden City of Jaisalmer, played an ideal destination for India’s channel community to ideate on current trends around data resiliency and drive future strategy on enabling long-lasting growth.
Speaking on the sidelines of the summit Sandeep Bhambure, Vice President & Managing Director, Veeam India and SAARC said that channel community is extremely important for Veeam.
“We are 100 per cent channel oriented organization. In India we have a whole ecosystem of partners and we don’t do a single transaction directly with the customer. Every transaction happens via channel and they are supported at the back end by our distributors. And we work very closely with the ISVs. We have an ecosystem of cloud service providers as our partners so they have their shared infrastructure or they could be acting as MSPs and at the backend, their data resilience strategy is powered by Veeam.”
Resilience all about Embracing Technology and Partnerships
To achieve data resilience at scale, Enterprise 500 companies must leverage cutting-edge technologies and strategic partnerships. Cloud service providers, for instance, offer scalable and secure infrastructure that can enhance data resilience.
Similarly, partnering with cybersecurity firms and managed service providers can provide access to specialized expertise and tools. AI and ML can further strengthen resilience by enabling predictive analytics and automated threat response for the enterprise community.
Building a Culture of Resilience
Data resilience is not just a technical challenge—it is a cultural one. Enterprise community must foster a culture of resilience by embedding data protection into their corporate values and operations. This includes promoting cross-functional collaboration, ensuring executive buy-in, and aligning data resilience initiatives with broader business objectives.
Data resilience is not about avoiding failure but about ensuring that failure never disrupts business operations
For Enterprise 500 companies, winning the data resilience strategy is a critical component of long-term success. By prioritizing prevention, protection, detection, and recovery, and by leveraging technology and partnerships, organizations can build a resilient data ecosystem that withstands disruptions and drives sustainable growth.
In an era where data is both a strategic asset and a potential liability, resilience is not just a goal—it is a competitive advantage. With the help of vibrant channel community – data resilience enablers such as Veeam are playing a critical role towards developing and building this culture of resilience and ProPartner Summit in Jaisalmer has played a critical role towards realizing this goal.
“A resilient data strategy is not a luxury; it’s a necessity for businesses that value continuity, security, and long-term success.”
