The result was redirect to Veeam. A couple of people have effectively said " merge and delete", which is not possible due to our content licences. The page history will be preserved and any relevant information can be merged into the Veeam article from it. The article should not be recreated from the redirect without a DRV, if this happens the redirect can be protected. – filelakeshoe ( t / c) 🐱 10:23, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
[Hide this box] New to Articles for deletion (AfD)? Read these primers!
I initially attempted to redirect this however it's since been contested. I see no evidence this is notable as a standalone article and am proposing deletion and redirection to Veeam as everything available in the sources here and what I can find are basic acquisition announcements or funding announcements Praxidicae ( talk) 19:58, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
Here is some info from the article that establishes this is not a run-of-the-mill acquisition. N2WS is a market disruptor which was acquired, but remains an independent company, and was declared by analysts to be a strategic acquisition for Veeam:
"The acquisition gives N2WS access to Veeam’s 55,000 resellers and 18,000 cloud service providers. According to an IDC Research Impact Analysis the Veeam N2WS acquisition is potentially strategic. IDC says the majority of new application deployments within the next two years will be in the cloud, and so the cloud-related backup will be among the fastest-growing IaaS sectors in coming years."
Establishing notability for the company itself: "N2WS has 1,000 enterprise customers. The technology is used by Coca-Cola, Southwest Airlines, Cisco, Dyson, Time Inc., Harvard University, and Oracle." The product has also won several awards.
All the information is taken from over 20 reputable sources including The Register, SDX Central, IDC, EWeek, SiliconAngle, CRN, etc.
Finally, according to WP:RDELETE, a redirect can be deleted if it "could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject" - it is proposed to redirect to [Veeam] but the target article has only 1 line about N2WS.
