When former University of Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt retired in 2012, she had more wins than anyone in college basketball history. And yet, when asked about winning, the Vols legend is famously quoted as saying: “Winning is fun … Sure. But winning is not the point. […] Not giving up is the point. Never letting up is the point. Never being satisfied with what you’ve done is the point.”
While competing in a vastly different arena with vastly different stakes, 11:11 Systems is proud to affirm this mindset of unrelenting drive and determination — of never being content to rest on your laurels. Indeed, the ongoing, unending pursuit of excellence is baked into our very DNA. It is also borne out by the respect we receive from industry leaders and longstanding partners, like Veeam.
“Winning is fun … Sure. But winning is not the point. Not giving up is the point. Never letting up is the point. Never being satisfied with what you’ve done is the point.”

On Monday, Veeam named 11:11 Systems as the 2023 Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) Impact Partner of the Year for the Americas region.

“Receiving this award for the eighth time is a further testament to the strength of 11:11 Systems’ partnership with Veeam and the continued need for our joint solutions in the market,” said Dante Orsini, chief strategy officer at 11:11 Systems. “Our partnership began years ago with a primary focus on backing up our customers’ critical data and applications. That commitment has evolved over time to provide our customers and partners with the cyber resilient cloud platform that they can depend on to modernize, protect, and manage their businesses.”
In selecting 11:11 as VCSP of the Year, North America, Veeam recognizes 11:11 as the partner who demonstrated the best overall performance in areas of revenue as well as proactive selling and promoting of Veeam solutions and adjacent technologies.
