One year ago, Veeam acquires N2WS with the intent to extend Veeam capabilities to the public cloud environments.

N2WS was founded with the mission of providing enterprise-class data protection for workloads in the public cloud.

N2WS is a leader in IaaS data protection, providing a cloud-native backup solution specifically designed for AWS workloads, enabling organizations to back up data and applications as often as needed and recover them in seconds. N2WS grew revenues by 102% in 2017.
