Hi,

I was just wondering if there is any meaning in the company's name?

The company focuses on virtualization and the name "Veeam" came from the phonetic pronunciation of the letters "VM", as in virtual machine.

Which allegedly got mispronounced by a journalist from "vee-em" to rhyming with Team :)
