Veeam to Extend Support for Proxmox VE Users

Veeam Extends Data Freedom for Customers with Support for Proxmox VE

Powered by advanced changed block tracking (CBT) integration and hot add backup mode, Proxmox VE users can now enjoy faster and more efficient virtual machine (VM) backups. 

Veeam Software, a Data Protection and Ransomware Recovery, announced that Veeam will deliver support for Proxmox VE. Support for this virtualisation platform has been a popular request from Veeam’s existing small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers and service providers. 

John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer at Veeam, said, “When we talk with customers, one of their most common questions is how they can move between their preferred platforms both in the cloud and on-premises. It is why Veeam champions Data Freedom – giving customers the ability to move to new platforms with the peace of mind we provide through data protection and cyber recovery.

“This introduction of Proxmox VE support extends our comprehensive data management solution to address the challenges currently faced by our customers as they struggle with hard decisions in order to keep their data safe and protected, and their businesses running. As we continue to advocate for data freedom and choice for our 450,000 customers, backup for Proxmox VE provides them with an additional option for the tools and flexibility they need to optimise their data management practices, enable cyber resiliency and accelerate business growth,” John added. 

As organisations embrace new technology and evolve their business, it is critical they can choose the business platforms and applications optimised for their particular needs. Veeam enables organisations to protect, move and recover their data from and to the platforms they prefer. Veeam is committed to extending support for new platforms, giving customers freedom of choice. 

Following the recently launched support for Oracle Linux Virtualisation Manager, Veeam is again extending the breadth of Veeam Data Platform, which provides data security, data recovery, and data freedom to backup and use data from anywhere without platform or cloud lock-in to soon also include the Proxmox VE hypervisor. Veeam currently supports VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Oracle Linux Virtualisation Manager and Red Hat Virtualisation, as well as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

Veeam Data Platform gives users even greater freedom of choice to best fit changing business needs for both virtualisation and cloud. Powered by advanced changed block tracking (CBT) integration and hot add backup mode, Proxmox VE users can enjoy faster and more efficient virtual machine (VM) backups, minimising disruptions from long-running backups and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.
