Veeam has announced the general availability of Veeam Data Platform v13.1, expanding its data resilience capabilities with support for six additional hypervisor platforms, broader threat detection and deeper protection for enterprise applications.
The new release brings Veeam’s total supported hypervisors to 14, adding Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, Sangfor aSV, XCP-ng, Citrix XenServer, VergeIO and Platform9. It also expands application protection to EPIC EHR, Db2 on Windows and Oracle, alongside an Application Backup Repository for custom applications.
Security capabilities have been extended with malware scanning for NAS, expanded Azure threat detection and Active Directory Forest Recovery. The platform also adds post-quantum cryptography alignment with NIST standards and hybrid FIPS support, enabling organisations to validate recovery points before restoration.
“Cyber risk is dramatically escalating with rapid advancement in frontier models and self-driving AI agents,” said Rehan Jalil, President of Products and Technology at Veeam. “Resilience will act as a backbone of continued operations and recovering from increasing cyber and AI incidents.”
Veeam said the release also introduces NAS enhancements for long-term retention to AWS S3 Glacier, Azure Archive and other archive storage platforms, helping organisations reduce storage requirements while maintaining recovery and compliance capabilities.
“Veeam Data Platform v13.1 reflects the evolution of the data protection market from conventional backup and recovery to a strategic focus on data resilience and trust,” said Phil Hassey, CEO and Founder, CapioIT.
