Veeam acquires N2WS to deliver availability
and protection for AWS Cloud
V eeam® Software, which operates in
Saudi Arabia, has announced that it
has acquired N2WS, a leading provider of
cloud-native enterprise back-up and disaster
recovery for Amazon Web Services (AWS), in
a deal worth $42.5M. “As enterprises look to migrate more
workloads to the public cloud, having
a robust and intuitive data protection
and availability solution is imperative,”
said Peter McKay, Co-CEO and President
at Veeam.
N2WS is a leader in IaaS data protection,
providing a cloud-native back-up solution
specifically designed for AWS workloads,
enabling organisations to back up data and
applications as often as needed and recover
them in seconds. “By combining Veeam’s industry-
leading capabilities in protecting virtual,
physical and cloud environments
with N2WS’s leadership in AWS data
protection, we have a strong solution
to deliver on the needs of the digital
enterprise.
N2WS grew revenues by 102% in 2017. The
acquisition strengthens Veeam as a leading
provider of availability for any app, any data,
across any cloud and its ability to protect
AWS deployments.
N2WS will operate as a standalone
company, keeping its brand name and
becoming ‘A Veeam Company.’

“N2WS has experienced incredible
growth in the last 12 months and it will
continue to operate as a standalone
business to best position the company to
provide AWS data protection, the same
way Veeam transformed protection for
VMware environments a decade ago.
This is a game-changer in every sense.”
