February Vanguard Newsletter

Happy Friday, dear community! 

I hope you all had a great week, and here's a veeamazing selection of reading materials for you! As you are probably aware, over the last three weeks, we have announced the new classes of 2026 for all three community programms at Veeam. This February Vanguard Newsletter reflects the announcement of the new Veeam Vanguard Class, and also features content from our new Vanguard members. 🤓

I am excited to see how many insightful articles reflecting product updates have been shared over the last month, and I am already looking forward to the next one, which will follow soon!

We will soon have the updated Veeam100 Directory up and running, where you will be able to view the profiles of all members of each of our community programms, such as the Veeam Vanguards, Legends and VeeaMVPs.
