Veeam and HPE updates aim to streamline hybrid cloud recovery

HPE and Veeam are taking their long-running partnership into a new phase, rolling out updates aimed at helping enterprises protect and restore data in mixed and hybrid cloud environments.

The shift comes as many firms are trying to manage older systems, virtual machines, and container platforms while also dealing with higher security demands.

John Jester, Veeam’s chief revenue officer, spoke of the pressure on businesses, saying: “Trust, resilience, and availability are the new currency of business,” he said. “Our strengthened partnership with HPE gives customers the agility and confidence to protect, recover, and use their data, wherever it resides.”

New Veeam integrations for hybrid cloud workloads

The companies are introducing several additions to their joint portfolio. One area of focus is HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software. Veeam has built a new native integration plug-in that is now in beta and expected to reach general availability in early 2026. It provides image-level backup for virtual machines on VM Essentials, giving users a more direct way to secure mixed workloads without extra layers of custom setup.

HPE has also validated Morpheus Enterprise Software container services as a Veeam-ready option, which may help teams secure container-based workloads with less manual effort.

Another update centres on HPE Private Cloud Business Edition. Soon, enterprises will be able to deploy it together with the Veeam Data Platform. The pairing is meant to replace patchwork data protection setups that rely on many separate tools. The Veeam platform offers the same data format in VMware and VM Essentials, which may help teams move workloads more easily and shorten support cycles.

For many IT groups, the draw is the promise of a setup they can manage without juggling multiple vendors or systems.

Storage efficiency is also a theme. Veeam Data Platform now uses the newest version of HPE StoreOnce Catalyst, which the companies say can deliver up to 60:1 data reduction for backups. The update removes limits on incremental backups and can speed up data restores. For enterprises that run both cloud and on-prem systems, these gains may lower storage costs and make it easier to meet recovery time goals.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is also getting wider support. The Veeam Data Platform will add NVMe support and new snapshot integrations, which can shorten backup windows and help teams recover important workloads in near real time. The companies plan to release new reference architectures that offer end-to-end immutability in the Alletra Storage MP line. The designs aim to reduce the risk of ransomware and accidental data loss by giving teams clearer guardrails for how backups are created and stored.

Two new joint services round out the partnership updates. The first is a Data Resilience and Security Posture workshop, and the second is a Disaster Recovery Capability Maturity Analysis based on Veeam’s Data Resiliency Maturity Model. Both services are meant to help organisations measure the strength of their cyber resilience plans and identify gaps.

They also connect to the broader HPE Cybersecurity Services portfolio, which includes reference architectures designed for firms that want more structure in how they defend their systems.

Patrick Osborne, HPE’s senior vice president for Hybrid Cloud Technology Acceleration, said the shared work is meant to reduce complexity for customers. “Today’s announcement demonstrates the continuous, deep alignment between HPE and Veeam in removing friction and risk from hybrid cloud and modern application environments,” he said. “Together, we’re delivering unmatched resiliency, operational simplicity, and innovation for our customers.”

For enterprises managing a mix of virtual, cloud, and container workloads, the expanded partnership signals a push toward more uniform data protection – built around tools meant to reduce risk without adding more steps for already stretched IT teams.
