Hello Veeam Team and Community,

I’d like to clarify something about partner and certification requirements.

If my company plans to:

  1. Provide managed services to customers who use Veeam Data Platform (for backup and recovery management), and

  2. Also act as a reseller of Veeam licenses (via authorized distributor),

do we need to hold any specific Veeam certification (e.g. VMSP, VMTSP, VMCE) or reach a certain partner tier in the ProPartner program?
Or is being a registered ProPartner and sourcing licenses from an authorized distributor sufficient?

Appreciate your guidance so we can ensure full compliance with Veeam’s partner requirements.

​@ahaneefz  To resell Veeam licenses, your company must be a registered Veeam ProPartner. Distributor authorization is enough for license procurement and billing. There are different partner tiers (Silver, Gold, Platinum), each with minimum eligibility criteria such as annual revenue targets and certified engineers.

If your company wants to provide advanced services (design, deployment, troubleshooting), you need to register as a Veeam Accredited Service Partner (VASP). This requires VMCE-level engineers and proof of service expertise, depending on the partnership level.

as Chris mentioned, propartner page is good start

you can manage backups and licenses via “Veeam Service Provider Console”

via this console you can resell your license to your companies and automatically you can report points of license to pulse web site.

but i would suggest to open case regarding license or other issue to get in touch with Veeam how to act as service provider to resell you licenses (if you don’t have TAM already)

Hi ​@ahaneefz -

The ProPartner Portal is certainly where all the info you ask about is as Chris shared. But, if you don’t yet have an account & are just looking for info, I found a PDF created by Arrow which discusses certs. You can view it here (pg. 7). It’s a bit dated, so take it with a grain of salt.

At the very least, you can contact Veeam at the following URL to get info...again, before creating a ProPartner account.

Best.

All are correct. Also, consult your local Veeam channel manager. Veeam may have something specific for Indonesia.

Thank you everyone for the clarification and guidance!
Really appreciate the helpful insights from the community and Veeam team

I believe this gives me a clear direction on how to proceed with the partner and certification requirements.

FYI I have applied for the propartner program
