Veeam Software has announced a five-year strategic partnership with Microsoft to integrate Veeam’s product family and Microsoft Copilot and AI services.
In addition to joint innovation, the companies will bring to market data protection for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure using the recently announced Veeam Data Cloud.
The combination of Veeam’s backup and recovery capabilities matched with the breadth of Microsoft’s innovation and scale will help customers ensure cyber resiliency, the two partners said.
Anand Eswaran, CEO at Veeam, said: “Extending our partnership with Microsoft brings the benefits of Veeam technology – in both data protection and ransomware recovery – to even more customers using Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure. This partnership will also deliver incredible joint innovation, including bringing the capabilities of Microsoft Copilot to the Veeam product family.”
“As customers continue moving to the cloud and adopt generative AI capabilities, protecting their data remains our top priority,” said Judson Althoff, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Microsoft. “I am pleased to build on our collaboration by combining Microsoft’s copilot and Azure with Veeam’s data protection solutions to help our customers back up, protect, and recover their data estate better and faster than ever before.”
