- Enterprises can replace their legacy backup and eliminate data management siloes with a single availability platform for multicloud enterprise;
- Expands storage integrations with IBM and Lenovo in addition to the current strategic partnerships with HPE, Cisco, and NetApp, and introduces new Universal Storage API;
- Enables new data management, analytics, and compliance reporting for physical and cloud-based workloads
Veeam Software, the availability for the always-on enterprise innovator, has announced the immediate availability of Veeam Availability Suite (VAS) 9.5 Update 3 (U3), to extend comprehensive data management and ensure availability for all workloads—virtual, physical, and cloud—centrally managed via a single Veeam “pane of glass".
“Veeam recognised a decade ago that a more innovative approach to backup and availability was needed, and delivered what quickly became the No. 1 virtual machine (VM) backup solution with unprecedented reliability and ease-of-use,” said Peter McKay, Co-CEO and President at Veeam.
“Since then, our customers have been clamouring for the same Veeam innovation for all their workloads so that they can ditch legacy backup solutions completely. It is our top customer request, and today we are delivering that making Veeam Availability Suite 9.5 Update 3 the biggest release in Veeam’s 10-year history! In one, unified Veeam solution, customers can manage their entire environment – virtual, physical, or cloud – and ensure No. 1 availability for any app, any data, any cloud.”
With this release Veeam is also including its Universal Storage API, a new storage interface that will allow Veeam to more rapidly support new storage integrations going forward. The API will lead to superior backup performance, lower risk of data loss, and more rapid recovery. Veeam Availability Suite 9.5 Update 3 is integrated with IBM Spectrum Virtualize, extending Veeam’s storage snapshot integration capabilities to IBM Storwize and any IBM SAN Volume Controller-based storage arrays, as well as to the Lenovo Storage V Series. This expansion of Veeam’s strategic partnership with IBM is in addition to current strategic partnerships with HPE, Cisco, and NetApp.
“Availability is both a customer expectation and a business requirement for organisations of all sizes in today’s data-driven marketplace,” said Kamran Amini, Executive Director Lenovo Server and Storage, Lenovo Data Center Group. “Veeam primary storage integration with Lenovo brings the market’s No. 1 availability solutions to Lenovo V Series hybrid and all flash storage arrays. With V Series Integration and DS Series Solutions, together, we’ll deliver the new levels of data protection and recovery agility that our customers are demanding to meet their ever increasing uptime requirements."
This release follows Veeam’s recently-announced support for IBM AIX and Oracle Solaris, enabling protection of physical workloads in Unix environments. New capabilities in VAS 9.5 U3 include:

- Support for VMware Cloud on AWS
- IBM Spectrum Virtualize integration, extending Veeam storage snapshot integration capabilities to IBM Storwize and SAN Volume Controller-based storage arrays

“One of the true hallmarks of Veeam has been its continuous evolution to meet customers’ ever heightening requirements around recoverability and availability, and this release shows that [Veeam] can cover all the bases – physical, virtual and cloud. Their enhanced management capabilities across both their increasingly heterogeneous protection agents and their monitoring platform are foundational for their ascendancy among enterprise and large-scale managed service provider (MSP) solutions.

"That plus their broadening storage ecosystem and expanded platform support (VMware on AWS) should be exciting for those that have already standardised on Veeam for protecting their on-prem VMs and are now looking at the cloud as part of their digital transformation journey,” said Jason Buffington, Principal Analyst at ESG.
