Hi everyone,

I was in Prague a few weeks ago and I had a question to ask, but I ended up forgetting to ask it, a question that keeps coming to my mind.
The question is this: what does Veeam mean? Now I've figured it out, but I want to launch this poll and here are four options, which one is correct? Let's have some fun and vote. :-)
I've asked several people who deal with Veeam and they don't know.

What does “Veeam” mean?

When I was training with our friend Henrique from Adistec, he mentioned that this was the option: 

It comes from pronouncing the letters “V” and “M” as a single word, inspired by “VM” (Virtual Machine).

I think the point of this was not to give away the answer 😂 😉
