Hey everyone!

My name is Michael Daguanno and I work as a Technical Consultant for a small MSP/VCSP in Ontario . We specialize and have a long history in BaaS and DRaaS. I graduated B.Eng Computer Engineering in 2015 and have found that working in the MSP space straight out of school has accelerated my experience for the better - exposure to many architectures and configurations, considerations for each one of those environments. Having a product like Veeam to navigate all those spaces with has been great!

Hi I’m Dale.  IT professional for over 15 years.  Jack of all trades, master of none.

I’ve been using Veeam now for just over a year and am ashamed that I never made the jump to this amazing product sooner.  I’m looking forward to seeing how this community can help me learn and grow.

Hey, everyone.

Like Geoff, I also just noticed this and I also work with Chris and Geoff. I recently moved over to the service provider side having been a Veeam customer for many years. I am VMCE certified and beyond that, I am very excited about all the additional products that Veeam is working on such as the VBO and Kasten. It’s a good time to be working with Veeam.
