Greg McVey, Head of Cloud Storage at The Bunker, commented: “As Veeam was designed from the ground-up with the purpose to protect virtual environments, it’s very difficult to find anything nearly as comprehensive as the solutions the company provides. This, teamed with the fact that our data storage and cloud infrastructure solutions are founded on best practice in information security, compliance and good governance, enables us to offer an exceptional service to customers; one that is unrivalled by any other on the market. We enable customers to implement the golden rule of data storage, which is to keep three copies of your data on two different platforms, on two different media types, with one of them off-site.
“Achieving Veeam Gold Cloud and Services Provider status means that we will be able to fully take advantage of the current market opportunity. We believe that we are strongly aligned with Veeam’s solutions and look forward to identifying further opportunities that will empower our customers to attain a more resilient business,” adds McVey.
