Posted in Awards, Cloud, Hyper-V, Microsoft, Microsoft Azure, Thomas Maurer, Virtualization

Last night I had some great news in my inbox. I got informed that my nomination for Veeam Vanguard 2020 was approved, and I just got awarded with my fourth Veeam Vanguard award. After being a Veeam Vanguard in 2015, 2016 and again in 2019, I am proud to be part of the Veeam Vanguard community in 2020 again.

The Veeam Vanguard Program is Veeam’s top-level influencer community. This group shares points of view, provides feedback and is committed to mutual success. Experts in the Vanguard program are a combination of many different disciplines, contribution types and advocacy mechanisms yet are each the best in space regarding technical thought leadership for the technical communities in which Veeam exist.

These individuals have been nominated as Veeam Vanguards. A Veeam Vanguard represents our brand to the highest level in many of the different technology communities in which we engage. These individuals are chosen for their acumen, engagement and style in their activities on and offline.

I am looking forward to being part of this community in this virtualization and cloud journey. I also want to thank Veeam, it is an honor to be part of the Veeam Vanguard community again.

Some weeks ago Veeam announced Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 and now you can finally download the Beta of it. To be honest with you the installation is brutally boring and simple, so I will only show you how you quickly can create a new backup job.
