Veeam Champions Data Resilience at 2024 GITEX GLOBAL

Veeam® Software, the Data Resilience company, has announced its participation in the annual GITEX GLOBAL event, scheduled from October 14-18, 2024, in Dubai. At this year’s exhibition, Veeam will underscore its commitment to data resilience, ensuring that critical business information is protected, secure, and readily recoverable across all platforms. The company’s robust backup, recovery, and security solutions guarantee data availability, allowing businesses to maintain continuous operations.

GITEX, now in its 44th edition, serves as a premier gateway for tech creators, investors, and enthusiasts to collaborate in the region. This year’s event spans two major venues – the Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai Harbour – featuring over 40 exhibition halls showcasing industry giants and innovative startups in fields like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity, Mobility, and Sustainable Tech.

Tim Pfaelzer, General Manager and Senior Vice President, EMEA at Veeam, stated, “The Middle East is leading the way in aligning an incredible vision with cutting-edge technological advancements. From smart cities and AI to advanced cybersecurity measures, this region has become a global hub of innovation. In today’s digital landscape, ensuring your data is resilient is critical, and Veeam’s solutions are designed to help organizations protect and recover their data. GITEX is a crucial event for us to learn, connect, and drive industry progress across the region.”

Innovative Solutions on Display

At GITEX, Veeam will showcase how the Veeam Data Platform offers a comprehensive data resilience strategy to protect, manage, and secure organizations’ most valuable asset — data. This platform goes beyond simple backup, providing full-scale data protection, seamless recovery, and streamlined management across various IT infrastructures, including Cloud, Virtual, Physical, SaaS, and Kubernetes environments.

Mena Migally, Regional Vice President, EMEA East at Veeam, commented, “In the digital age, data availability is paramount.
