Veeam Software has expanded its strategic alliance with Pure Storage to help enterprises strengthen cyber resilience, data protection, and AI readiness across hybrid and cloud-native environments.
Announced at Pure//Accelerate 2026, the enhanced partnership introduces new integrations spanning Enterprise Data Cloud (EDC), Kubernetes environments, and Cyber Resilience Delivered as-a-Service. The collaboration is designed to address emerging challenges posed by ransomware, machine-speed cyberattacks, and AI-driven operational risks.
As organizations increasingly rely on AI and autonomous systems, Veeam and Pure Storage are focusing on what they call “DataAI Resilience” — combining data protection, cybersecurity, governance, and recovery capabilities to ensure business-critical data remains secure, recoverable, and trustworthy.
“Trusted recovery is becoming just as important as data protection in the AI era, where machine-speed threats and autonomous systems create new resilience challenges.”
“Resilience now requires more than recovery; it requires trusted recovery,” said John Jester. “By combining deep platform integration with intelligent workflows, customers can detect threats earlier, reduce risk, and recover clean data with greater confidence.”
A key development is the upcoming Veeam EDC Fleet Management Integration, planned for Veeam Data Platform v13.1. The capability will allow enterprises to register a Pure Storage fleet once and automate discovery of storage arrays and associated assets, simplifying protection management and improving visibility across growing data estates.
The companies are also expanding protection for cloud-native workloads through the integration of Portworx by Pure Storage and Kasten by Veeam. Scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2026, the integration will provide policy-driven protection, application-consistent recovery, and simplified disaster recovery for Kubernetes environments.
In addition, the alliance is extending Cyber Resilience Delivered as-a-Service, enabling customers to consume enterprise-grade resilience solutions through approved managed service providers and systems integrators while maintaining on-premises data sovereignty and compliance controls.
The expanded partnership reflects growing demand for integrated resilience strategies as enterprises scale AI initiatives and modernize infrastructure. By combining storage, security, governance, and recovery capabilities, Veeam and Pure Storage aim to help organizations improve cyber readiness while ensuring trusted data remains available for business operations and AI-driven innovation.
