Veeam Data Platform v13: Core Tenants and What’s New
With Veeam Data Platform v13, we’re taking another major leap toward a strategic resilience reset in a world that never stops testing your business. This update delivers an enhanced platform that’s architected with built-in security and centers around simplifying the ongoing management of your data resiliency journey.
Security Transformed
Security-first architecture with a pre-hardened appliance and automated patching that strengthens security posture, reduces privilege escalation risk, and simplifies compliance.
- Flexible Software Appliance
Veeam Software Appliance is a pre-configured experience with a “just enough” hardened OS and Veeam software that’s backed by DISA STIG hardening with automated security updates. By delivering faster value with less risk, your team is free to focus on innovation instead of manual tasks. - Enhanced RBAC
With fine-tuned access control and zero trust, role-based access control (RBAC) limits privileges, reduces attack surface, and keeps sensitive data in the right hands. Having a strengthened security posture with reduced risk empowers your team to move fast without compromising control. - SAML for Single Sign-On
SAML-based single sign-on (SSO) with multi-factor authentication (MFA) passthrough enables centralized authentication and protects access at the identity layer while streamlining compliance and the user experience. By keeping access simple and secure, the right users can easily log in while you stay protected.
Next Level Resilience
A highly available appliance enables backup services to remain online through disruption, while confirmed clean restore points bring back Microsoft Azure services within minutes.
- High Availability
Whether hybrid or multi-cloud, Veeam Data Platform ensures backups and replicas are always ready so your business doesn’t pause when disaster strikes. Your business stays up, running, and protected with backups that are ready the moment you need them. - Instant Recovery to Azure
Instant Recovery to Azure delivers verified clean restores in moments so your disaster recovery (DR) plan doesn’t turn into your next disaster. Get back online in minutes and recover revenue in seconds to accelerate team productivity. - Intuitive Web UI
A streamlined browser-based interface makes managing protection feel effortless. No steep learning curves or buried settings means clarity at every click. Save time with a seamless and tightly integrated UI that helps protection stay consistent without extra training or overhead. - Veeam Updater
Centralize updates across your backup infrastructure with automated lifecycle management so there’s no scrambling, no manual upkeep, and no surprise downtime. Stay up to date automatically so your team can focus on progress instead of patching.
AI-Powered Intelligence
Automated reports and anomaly identification help you react in minutes with new interactive reporting that cuts investigation time and reduces blind spots.
- Malware Analysis Agent
Identify anomalies, assess blast radius, and find clean restore points all in the Veeam Intelligence chat. Now you can test backups without ever leaving Veeam Intelligence. Catch issues early and fix them fast, so recovery feels controlled, not chaotic. - Deep Data Analysis Agent
Generate observability reports instantly by asking Veeam Intelligence. Get performance or backup data fast with no searching, no menus, no language barriers, and no delays. You’ll spend less time digging for data and more time making decisions. - Data Resilience Daily Summary
A daily AI-powered email summarizes policy and job results, correlates issues with relevant Veeam KB articles, and lists recommended actions. You get a single, trusted snapshot of what happened, what needs attention, and where you should start.
The Value to Your Business
“V13 allowed us to simplify and centralize everything. It comes ready to go out of the box, which made setup effortless – it’s made our environment so much easier to manage. When it comes to cyber defenses, we need to be ironclad 100% of the time because attackers only have to get it right once. Veeam’s new deployment model helps us achieve that robust, yet seamless security.” – Joe Moffitt, Principal Technical Architect, Darktrace
