Achieving Cyber Resilience with the Power of Three: Nutanix, Pure Storage, and Veeam Data Platform

On May 7, 2025, at the Nutanix .Next conference, Pure Storage announced a new solution they developed with Nutanix that enables Nutanix AHV hypervisor to use FlashArray, Pure Storages’ flash storage, for storage provisioning. With Veeam’s proven track record of delivering resilient solutions and its long-standing Alliance relationships with Pure Storage and Nutanix, this new offering combines Veeam Data Platform with Nutanix Cloud Platform and Pure Storage FlashArray to provide an end-to-end integrated solution. This joint solution offers market-leading data resilience, high-performance storage, and streamlined infrastructure management to protect and manage your organization’s most critical workloads.

1. Nutanix AHV

Nutanix AHV provides a simple and efficient virtualization solution that eliminates the need for separate virtualization software, which reduces cost and complexity.

2. Pure Storage FlashArray

Pure’s FlashArray delivers high performance, reliable, and scalable all-flash storage to simplify data management and enhance enterprise application performance.

3. Veeam Data Platform

Veeam Data Platform provides comprehensive and reliable data protection and cyber recovery solutions for cloud, virtual, and physical environments, ensuring business continuity and data availability.

The Power to Choose

With this recent announcement, customers now have the flexibility to utilize existing or new Pure Storage deployments with existing and new Nutanix offerings. The same is true for Veeam Data Platform customers. With Veeam Universal Licensing (VUL), existing Veeam customers can potentially redeploy VULs that were previously used for other virtual, physical, or cloud workloads to safeguard Nutanix AHV workloads via Pure Storage FlashArray storage.

For customers that historically haven’t used Veeam to protect their IT workloads, they now have the option to choose Veeam Data Platform.

Why Choose Veeam? The Power of Three

Three reasons why you should choose Veeam:

1. Enterprise data protection to safeguard from ransomware and other disruptions

In addition to integrating with Nutanix AHV, Veeam Data Platform can protect all your workloads across enterprise data centers and hybrid clouds, including virtual machines (VMs), physical (bare metal) servers, cloud VMs, unstructured data (e.g. NFS, S3), and enterprise applications (e.g. Oracle, PostreSQL, MS SQL). We are not just talking about crash-consistent backups, especially with enterprise applications. It is critical to quiesce these workloads before creating a backup or snapshot, so the restore points are application-consistent to ensure the best recovery point objective (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs).

Veeam Data Platform has the most comprehensive data protection capabilities, including:

Inline malware detection
Indicator of Compromise (IoC) Detection
File-system analysis
Third-party security integrations
Backup immutability
In-depth reporting and alerting for risks such as RPO violations, anomalous backup behavior, and suspected malicious activity

2. World-class data resilience with fast and flexible clean recovery

Data resilience is an organization’s ability to withstand and recover from data-related disruptions or failures. These include ensuring data availability, integrity, and security when things don’t go according to plan, like cyberattacks, hardware failures, and human error. Veeam Data Platform provides full, granular, and instant recovery for all enterprise workloads, including file systems and databases, so you have the flexibility to recover the way you need to, not the way products force you to. If you can’t recover back to your primary production environment due to a cyberattack or other outage, Veeam Data Platform allows you to easily and quickly perform clean recovery across hypervisors, datacenters, and clouds.

3. Data portability helps future-proof your enterprise

You may be facing challenges with market disruptions and vendors and be held back due to vendor lock ins too. With Veeam, you have the power to easily migrate your data across hypervisors, workloads, and datacenters.

Safely and securely migrate workloads across hypervisors, datacenters, and clouds.
Eliminate retention challenges and compliance challenges that result from evolving environments.

A self-describing data format that eliminates vendor lock-in to ensure peace of mind.

The Power of Best of Breed

While I could tell you about Pure Storage, Nutanix, and Veeam all being market leaders and acknowledged by industry analysts as being in the upper right quadrant or closest to the bullseye, I think the best way to explain “best of breed” is to review a few of the customer success stories from Pure Storage, Nutanix, and Veeam. The common theme in these customer success stories is that Pure Storage, Nutanix, and Veeam all strive to go above and beyond for their customers. You should expect to be even more thrilled now that you can combine the power of these three industry leaders in your own datacenters and hybrid clouds.
