Veeam & HPE deepen partnership to boost enterprise data resilience
Veeam and HPE have expanded their strategic partnership with an integration between the Veeam Data Platform and HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software, aiming to enhance data resilience and recovery for enterprise customers. The new collaboration will see Veeam deliver image-based backup support for HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software, encompassing virtual machine migration and data portability across conventional hypervisor environments. This builds on a longstanding relationship between the two companies, which seek to offer unified data protection and simplified management for customers operating in increasingly complex IT landscapes. Supporting hybrid and private cloud By integrating Veeam Data Platform with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, organisations are expected to gain a more seamless solution for safeguarding key applications and data across private and hybrid cloud infrastructures. Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President of Hybrid Cloud and Chief Technology Officer at HPE, said: "Data is an organisation's most valuable asset – and often its most vulnerable. With our deep partnership and integration, HPE and Veeam are delivering unified virtualisation and data protection that is future-ready, giving customers the resiliency and agility to evolve their hybrid IT strategy." For customers making use of HPE Private Cloud solutions, or those with standalone servers, the solution is designed to provide unified protection across multiple hypervisors and facilitate VM mobility. Cost savings are also cited in the form of up to a 90 percent reduction in VM licence costs. Enterprise-grade resilience Anand Eswaran, Chief Executive Officer at Veeam, highlighted the dual pressures organisations face in managing expanding IT complexity and rising cyber risk: "Organisations face a perfect storm of IT complexity and cyber threats. Data resilience can no longer be an afterthought. Our enhanced partnership ensures organisations can deploy enterprise-grade virtualisation solutions from HPE with Veeam backup, recovery, security and intelligence for maximum data resilience that keeps businesses running." Both companies stress that comprehensive support for modern workloads is a focal point. Veeam's Kasten solution will be available to provide backup and recovery for containerised and cloud-native workloads, complementing the broader integration with Morpheus Software and the established HPE Zerto Software offering. The solutions together allow organisations to protect not only virtual infrastructure, but also containerised and bare-metal workloads. Data Resilience by Design To further support enterprises, HPE and Veeam have launched a joint framework called "Data Resilience by Design". The framework is intended to empower customers to take a holistic, proactive stance towards securing and making their data highly available, through both technology and advisory services. As part of the initiative, the companies will provide HPE cybersecurity and cyber resilience transformation and readiness services, equipping organisations with a roadmap to assess, strengthen and future-proof data resilience strategies. The scope of the framework reflects concerns about the increasing sophistication of security threats facing businesses and the need for robust protections spanning private and hybrid cloud environments. The partnership aims to address these challenges by combining HPE's expertise across hybrid IT and cybersecurity with Veeam's capabilities in backup, recovery and data intelligence. The cooperation between HPE and Veeam also involves increased joint go-to-market investment, seeking to help customer organisations manage data protection with broader solution support and professional services. Unified approach to resilience With this extended partnership, both companies emphasise their focus on supporting organisations as they navigate heightened cyber risk and evolving IT demands. The aim is to enable customers to make use of private cloud environments while ensuring data remains secure, resilient and accessible. HPE and Veeam state that the combination of their technologies and expertise is designed to provide enterprises with the resources needed to manage increasingly complex operational and security landscapes.
