Veeam Software has announced an expanded partnership with Microsoft — which includes a Microsoft equity investment in Veeam — to build AI solutions that help customers protect, recover and unlock more value from their data.
By integrating Microsoft AI into Veeam’s data resilience platform, customers can quickly gain insights, smartly detect threats and automate recovery, helping ensure data security, availability, reliability and that it is working for them.
Veeam will focus on research and development investments, architectural expertise and design collaboration with the support of Microsoft to speed up AI-driven innovations for customers. Veeam will integrate Microsoft AI services including machine learning to enhance Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, Veeam Data Cloud Vault, new Entra IS solutions, and AI-driven protection and recovery.
Veeam’s integration with Microsoft AI will help organisations to detect suspicious activity before it escalates, identify backup vulnerabilities that need attention, automate compliance and recovery reporting, and speed up data restores.
“In a world where cyber threats and the dynamic nature of the cloud are constant, data resilience is no longer optional—it’s mission-critical,” said Anand Eswaran, CEO of Veeam. “By joining forces with Microsoft, we’re bringing AI-powered intelligence to 550,000 customers, and the majority of Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies, enabling them to protect, detect, and recover faster than ever before.”
Jason Graefe, corporate vice president, ISVs and digital natives, Microsoft, said, “AI is transforming every aspect of business. By integrating Microsoft AI with Veeam’s market-leading data resilience solutions, we’re helping customers not only protect their critical data but also unlock new insights and efficiencies across Microsoft 365 and Azure.”
