Veeam expands strategic alliance with Everpure
Veeam Software has announced at Pure // Accelerate a major expansion of its global strategic alliance with Everpure, marking a series of joint innovations and unveiling the next generation of integrated cyber resilience and DataAI Resilience – the convergence of data protection, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence to keep systems secure and recoverable against machine-speed threats, autonomous AI agent errors, and ransomware, while supporting compliance and data quality.
Historically, data resilience meant surviving human error or natural disasters. Today, organisations face compounded threats that move too fast for human IT teams to manually manage. Together, Veeam and Everpure are turning alliance momentum into an integrated resilience roadmap across Everpure’ s Enterprise Data Cloud( EDC) and Kubernetes, combining anomaly-driven workflows available today, fleet-scale EDC integration planned in Veeam Data Platform v13.1, and Cyber Resilience Delivered as-a-Service through trusted partners to reduce operational complexity and improve recovery confidence at enterprise scale.
“ Resilience now requires more than recovery; it requires trusted recovery: restoring data that is clean, governed, compliant, and ready to use,” said John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer( CRO) at Veeam.“ With Everpure, we’ re advancing DataAI Resilience by combining deep platform integration with intelligent workflows that help customers
