Veeam Backup Essentials*

Starting Oct. 15, 2021, Veeam introduces a simplified process of the Veeam Backup Essentials Express Migration process via SKUs.

This process allows your customers to migrate to Veeam Backup Essentials subscription VULs and extend their term with two options: low-volume or high-volume.

  • The low- quantity migration option is priced at 15% above their annual maintenance renewal
  • The high-quantity migration option is 50% more than their respective annual maintenance renewal
