Early last week I received news from Rick Vanover @ Veeam that I have been selected for the Veeam Vanguard Program. As a Veeam enthusiast, there is no better thing than becoming a Vanguard. Wow what an honour!

For those who are unaware of the Veeam Vanguard program, it’s awarded to members of the Veeam community to show Veeams support and appreciation for past deeds. There are a couple benefits of becoming a Vanguard including access to roadmaps, betas, free keys, awesome swag and access to those in the know at Veeam (I’m just curious to know if we get a bat phone to Anton Gostev (I wish)) just to name a few.  What I’m really looking forward to though is learning more about this awesome program and meeting other Vanguards who share my passion for Veeam.

If you happen to read my blog or know me personally, you may be aware that I tend to champion Veeam a lot. I try and help the community whether it’s writing about errors I fixed in Veeam or the unofficial VMCE practice exam. Whether it’s just a small thank you on twitter, an appreciative comment on a post or being selected for a global program, it really fuels my fire to keeping creating, sharing and interacting to help the community more. So thank you Veeam,  thank you for making such an awesome product to work with, thank you for showing support and a big thank you for recognising members of the Veeam community.
