“Data is an organization’s most valuable asset and often its most vulnerable. We’re delivering to customers the industry’s most advanced private cloud solutions with data protection that is secure, resilient, and future-ready for the evolving IT landscape,” said Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President of Hybrid Cloud and CTO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE).
At HPE Discover Las Vegas 2025, HPE and Veeam announced an exciting new chapter in their strategic partnership, aimed at simplifying and strengthening data protection for private cloud environments. The big headline? Veeam is bringing its acclaimed image-based and agentless hypervisor backup technology to HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, and delivering new levels of resilience and simplicity for HPE’s virtual machine workloads.
With this new integration, organizations gain a powerful solution for protecting and managing their data across HPE private cloud environments. By combining HPE’s innovative infrastructure with Veeam’s secure backup, hardened immutability support, and clean recovery capabilities, businesses can confidently address today’s challenges around IT complexity and cyberthreats.
As Anand Eswaran, CEO of Veeam, put it:
“Organizations face a perfect storm of IT complexity and cyberthreats. Data resilience can no longer be an afterthought. Our enhanced partnership ensures organizations can deploy the industry’s leading private cloud solutions from HPE with Veeam backup, recovery, security, and intelligence for maximum data resilience that keeps businesses running.”
What’s Coming First: Veeam Hypervisor Backup for HPE VM Essentials
The immediate benefit for customers is clear: Veeam will deliver image-based and agentless hypervisor backups for VMs running on HPE Morpheus VM Essentials. This is a major win for organizations looking to protect critical workloads in modern private cloud environments, empowering them to:
- Automated backup processing: Leverage Veeam Backup & Replication’s powerful backup to streamline and standardize data protection across your VM Essentials and other environments with a single pane of glass view. Veeam’s intuitive workflows make it easy to configure, schedule, and manage backups, ensuring consistent, reliable protection with minimal effort.
- Safeguard with hardened immutable backups: With backups now a prime target for malware and ransomware, Veeam enables hardened immutable backups. This way your backup copies cannot be altered or deleted by malicious actors. This critical layer of protection helps guarantee data recoverability, even in the face of sophisticated cyberthreats.
Veeam supports immutable backups across Veeam Data Cloud Vault and a range of other public cloud targets, as well as numerous on-premises options using HPE infrastructure. Whether on-site or in the cloud, organizations can design a robust 3-2-1 rule-based backup architecture that incorporates immutability at every layer. This joint HPE and Veeam solution gives customers the flexibility to retain data locally for fast recovery, archive securely in the cloud, or do both, all while maintaining protection, performance, and control.
- Recover VMs quickly and reliably: Veeam’s backup technology is renowned for fast, full VM restores, minimizing downtime, and protecting against data loss. Combined with HPE’s performance-optimized storage platforms, customers gain a joint solution that provides speed, resilience, and confidence in their recovery strategy.
- Gain operational visibility: Built-in monitoring and reporting, powered by Veeam ONE, provide real-time insights into your backup environment. From job status to capacity planning and proactive alerts, you can keep your backups running smoothly and data protected — all from a single, easy-to-use interface.

Protecting Kubernetes Workloads with Veeam Kasten
Modern IT isn’t all about virtual machines. Many organizations are also embracing Kubernetes for containerized, cloud-native applications. That’s where Veeam Kasten comes in.
Veeam Kasten is purpose-built to deliver backup, disaster recovery, and application mobility for Kubernetes environments. With Kasten, HPE Private Cloud customers with Morpheus Kubernetes Service (MKS) can expect to:
- Protect Kubernetes clusters and applications running on HPE infrastructure.
- Recover quickly from disasters or accidental data loss for both stateless and stateful workloads.
- Enable application portability across environments, supporting DevOps and agile IT practices.
This means that whether your workloads are virtualized or containerized, Veeam and HPE have you covered for data resilience.
The Morpheus Platform: Unlocking Future Flexibility
At the heart of this innovation is the HPE Morpheus platform, a powerful hybrid cloud management solution that enables organizations to orchestrate, automate, and manage workloads across private, public, and hybrid clouds. With Morpheus, enterprises can streamline provisioning, monitor usage, enforce governance, and optimize costs for a wide range of workloads, including VMs and containers.
HPE’s vision for Morpheus is bold: unify cloud operations, reduce complexity, and give customers the freedom to choose the best infrastructure for every application, whether that’s on-premises or in the cloud. Morpheus already supports a broad ecosystem of hypervisors, cloud providers, and Kubernetes platforms, making it a hub for modern IT operations.
Looking Ahead: More Opportunities for Veeam Integration
While today’s news is focused on VM Essentials and Kubernetes backup, the partnership between HPE and Veeam opens up a world of future possibilities. As Morpheus continues to evolve, there’s tremendous opportunity for Veeam to further integrate its data protection and mobility solutions by helping customers simplify migrations, automate data protection across diverse environments, and boost resilience everywhere their applications run.
The journey is just beginning, and we’re all excited to see how Veeam and HPE will jointly continue to help customers modernize, protect, and get more value from their data, no matter where it lives.
Stay tuned for more details on feature availability and roadmap updates. For now, organizations running HPE Morpheus VM Essentials and Kubernetes on HPE Private Cloud can look forward to a new standard of data protection, powered by Veeam.
