Scale Computing and Veeam Expand Their Partnership
To deliver integrated, secure, and scalable virtualization and data protection to replace VMware
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on August 14, 2025 at 2:00 pmScale Computing, Inc. announced that Veeam Backup & Replication is officially delivering full agentless hypervisor backup for the Scale Computing Platform (SC//Platform) within the Veeam Data Platform.
In April, the company announced its new strategic partnership with Veeam. The collaboration expands backup and recovery capabilities across Scale Computing’s installed base of edge and core infrastructure deployments.
Amid rising hypervisor prices and restrictive licensing following Broadcom’s VMware acquisition, virtualization is undergoing a seismic shift. IT teams across industries are under mounting pressure to modernize infrastructure, while simultaneously managing costs, complexity, and risk.
At the same time, remote and distributed edge environments, often run with limited resources, are presenting new challenges in operational efficiency and resilience. As IT teams everywhere are forced to rethink virtualization strategies, enterprises are increasingly seeking alternative solutions that are faster to deploy, easier to manage, and more cost-effective. The integration of Scale Computing’s platform with Veeam’s data resilience meets these challenges head-on, delivering a simple and scalable solution.
Modernize without lock-in and achieve true data portability
Scale Computing and Veeam give IT teams true freedom of choice, enabling workload migration and management across on-premises, edge, and cloud environments. Organizations can sidestep vendor lock-in, avoid escalating licensing fees, and optimize infrastructure spending as their needs evolve. This flexibility puts control back in the hands of IT, empowering enterprises to modernize and manage costs on their own terms, without compromise.
