Veeam Software,
the #1 leader in Data Protection and Ransomware Recovery by market share, announced

will also deliver incredible joint innovation, including bringing the
capabilities of Microsoft Copilot to the Veeam product family.”

adopt generative AI capabilities, protecting their data remains our top
priority,” said Judson Althoff, executive vice president and chief commercial
officer at Microsoft. “Together with Veeam, we are already helping millions of
users fully protect their business data across Microsoft 365 and Microsoft
