Johannesburg, 31 Jul 2020

Silicon Sky, specialist IT infrastructure services company, proudly announces it has been selected as the 2019 Best VCSP Partner of the Year in Africa by Veeam Software, the leader in backup solutions that deliver Cloud Data Management. These annual awards recognise African Veeam ProPartners and Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partners that have not only demonstrated success in providing Veeam availability solutions to their customers, but that have also provided first-class support, expert knowledge, continued product education and accelerated Veeam’s Act II, the evolution into the hybrid cloud.

Silicon Sky was recognised as the Veeam Cloud & Service Provider Partner of the Year for Africa for the VCSP partner that made a great contribution to the popularisation of cloud technologies in 2019.

“We are excited to recognise and honour Silicon Sky as the Veeam Cloud & Service Provider Partner of the Year," said Trent Odgers, Cloud and Hosting Manager at Veeam. “Silicon Sky is a best-in-class example of our Partner to Win mantra. Their commitment to helping businesses of all sizes ensure that their data is always available and protected across any cloud workload, while partnering with customers to deliver Veeam Cloud Data Management solutions, has made a significant impact.”

Odgers adds: “Silicon Sky managed to grow their business by more than double the average and is now protecting thousands of workloads, on-premises at the customer, in co-located DCs and public cloud, complementing the solutions with Cloud Connect to deliver a multi-tenant, scalable solution to their customers. Silicon Sky recently released an Object Lock Storage solution, which complements many customers' compliance requirements and has continued to maintain their Gold Reseller and Platinum VCSP Partner status, which is a great achievement.”

"We are honoured to have received this award from Veeam. Veeam’s service provider friendly licensing model has allowed us to provide flexible data management solutions to customers. The continued innovation of Veeam software and Veeam’s support for heterogenous and hybrid cloud environments has allowed us to expand our service offerings to new markets," said Brenton Halsted, Managing Director at Silicon Sky.
