As IT budgets tighten, the cost of downtime and cybercrime continues to rise. Your CISO needs guaranteed recoverability, your CIO needs scalable simplicity, and your IT team needs speed and reliability. Veeam Data Platform delivers automated protection, AI-driven analytics, and built-in resilience- so when an incident occurs, you can focus on recovery, not firefighting.

Every day, millions of threats probe for weaknesses. Veeam Data Platform closes those gaps with secure, automated safeguards. Fast recovery, freedom from vendor lock-in, and flexible data mobility give enterprises full control over their data- wherever it lives.

Veeam Data Platform v13: Core Principles and What’s New

With the release of version 13, Veeam takes another step toward strategic resilience in a world that constantly puts businesses to the test. This update delivers an enhanced platform with built-in security and significantly simplified data protection lifecycle management.

Transformed Security

A secure-by-default appliance with automated updates strengthens protection, reduces the risk of privilege escalation, and simplifies compliance.

Flexible software appliance

The Veeam Software Appliance is a preconfigured system with a “just-enough” hardened operating system and Veeam software, DISA STIG^[1] — hardened and continuously updated with security patches. This accelerates time to value, reduces risk, and frees teams from routine maintenance.

Enhanced RBAC (Role-Based Access Control)

Fine-grained access controls and a zero-trust approach limit privileges, reduce the attack surface, and protect sensitive data.

SAML-based Single Sign-On

SAML SSO with MFA enables centralized authentication, strengthening identity security while simplifying compliance. Access remains both seamless and secure.

A New Level of Resilience

A highly available appliance keeps backup services running even during outages, while verified “clean” restore points enable service recovery in minutes.

High availability

Whether deployed in hybrid or multi-cloud environments, Veeam ensures continuous availability of backups and replicas, so business operations continue- even in the face of disaster.

Instant recovery in Azure

Restore data in minutes and avoid gaps in your disaster recovery strategy.

Intuitive web interface

A streamlined, browser-based UI makes it easy to manage data protection without complexity or extensive training.

Veeam Updater

Centralized, automated updates across the entire backup infrastructure- no manual intervention and no unexpected downtime.

AI-Powered Capabilities

Automated reporting and anomaly detection enable response within minutes, while new interactive reporting reduces investigation time and eliminates blind spots.

Malware analysis agent

Detects anomalies, assesses the scope of impact, and identifies clean restore points-directly within the Veeam Intelligence chat interface.

Advanced data analysis agent

Generates instant performance or backup reports on demand- no menus, no searching, no delays.

Daily data resilience summary

AI delivers a daily email with job results, links to relevant Veeam Knowledge Base articles, and actionable recommendations.

Business Value

Version 13 significantly simplifies and centralizes management by delivering a secure, out-of-the-box technology stack.

The new release combines:

• Advanced security,

  — all in a single solution.

The appliance model simplifies deployment, reduces risk, and accelerates updates.
