Virtuozzo has announced that Virtuozzo Storage has achieved Veeam Ready certification as an object storage backup target and is now listed in the Veeam Ready database. The certification validates interoperability and performance requirements for use with Veeam’s object storage capabilities. It allows customers to use Virtuozzo Storage as a certified backup repository while maintaining existing Veeam backup and recovery workflows.
The certification expands backup deployment options for service providers and enterprises already using Veeam. Organizations can integrate Virtuozzo Storage into existing data protection environments without changing operational processes, management tools, or recovery procedures.
For service providers, the certification supports the delivery of Veeam-compatible Backup-as-a-Service offerings on infrastructure they already operate. Because Virtuozzo Infrastructure integrates virtualization, cloud services, AI workloads, and object storage on a single software-defined platform, providers can consolidate backup storage with compute resources rather than maintaining separate storage systems or dedicated backup appliances.
“Veeam has built one of the most trusted ecosystems in data protection, and achieving Veeam Ready status is an important milestone for Virtuozzo,” said Ivan Lukovnikov, Chief Product Officer at Virtuozzo. “Service providers can now offer Veeam-based services on infrastructure they already operate, reducing complexity while creating new revenue opportunities. At the same time, customers gain confidence that their backup data is stored on a certified object storage target supporting data resilience and control as a foundation for Data and AI Trust.”
“Organizations are looking for flexible infrastructure choices that allow them to modernize their environments without changing the data resilience strategies they already rely on,” said Andreas Neufert, Vice President of Product Management, Alliances at Veeam. “Veeam is built for the reality where identity, data, security, and AI are inseparable, and the Veeam Ready program helps customers and partners deploy with confidence. By achieving Veeam Ready status, Virtuozzo has demonstrated interoperability for supported object storage use cases, giving service providers and customers confidence when using Virtuozzo Storage as part of a resilient backup and recovery architecture.”
Virtuozzo Storage was certified as an object storage target for use with the Veeam Data Platform, including:
- Veeam Backup & Replication v13
- Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v8
- Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows v13
- Veeam Agent for Linux v13
- Veeam Agent for Mac v13
Virtuozzo Storage is an S3-compatible object storage platform designed for backup repositories, long-term retention, cloud-native applications, and AI workloads. Integrated into the Virtuozzo Infrastructure System, the platform allows providers to deliver storage and compute services from a common environment, helping reduce infrastructure complexity and operational overhead.
The company positions the platform as an alternative to relying on third-party public cloud storage for backup repositories. By keeping backup data on provider-controlled infrastructure, service providers can maintain greater control over performance, data location, and service delivery. This approach may also support data sovereignty requirements, differentiated disaster recovery services, and recovery service-level objectives by keeping backup repositories closer to production workloads.
The announcement comes as organizations continue to evaluate alternatives to traditional virtualization platforms and seek infrastructure that combines compute, storage, networking, and data protection in a unified architecture. Virtuozzo Infrastructure is designed to address those requirements through a software-defined platform that improves resource utilization, simplifies operations, and reduces overall infrastructure costs.
