HPE & Commvault expand partnership to boost data resilience
HPE and Commvault have announced an expanded strategic partnership aimed at enhancing cyber resilience and data protection for organisations operating in hybrid cloud environments.
The strengthened collaboration will see deeper technology integration and joint go-to-market strategies, targeting growing challenges such as cyber threats and data loss. The partnership builds on previous work between the two companies, which includes collaboration across HPE's GreenLake cloud and the Commvault Cloud platform.
Technology integration
As part of the expanded agreement, Commvault will integrate HPE Zerto Software into its offering. This addition supports Commvault Cloud customers in managing complex virtualised on-premises and cloud workloads. HPE Zerto offers Continuous Data Protection technology that delivers near-zero recovery point objectives and recovery time objectives, supporting greater operational resilience.
Customers using Commvault Cloud will be able to leverage HPE Zerto's capabilities to adjust their cyber resilience and disaster recovery strategies according to their business needs, increasing flexibility and response capabilities in increasingly complex computing environments. "The expanded partnership with Commvault underscores our shared commitment to solve the most complex data protection challenges that enterprises face," said Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Hybrid Cloud and CTO at HPE. "Our combined innovations set a new standard for data resilience, helping customers navigate a rapidly evolving threat landscape."
Sanjay Mirchandani, President and CEO of Commvault, said, "This partnership builds on the long history of co-innovation between Commvault and HPE. At a time when data is more valuable and vulnerable than ever, our collaboration is empowering customers to keep their business continuous by advancing their resilience and protection of hybrid workloads."
Broader portfolio coverage
The companies will also deliver enhanced integration between HPE's storage and data protection solutions and the Commvault Cloud portfolio. The focus is on safeguarding sensitive data, protecting against ransomware threats, and ensuring organisations can recover quickly from operational disruptions. For HPE customers seeking a cloud-based data protection solution, Commvault Cloud SaaS forms a key part of the new joint portfolio, offering coverage from edge-to-cloud and handling both source-to-target needs.
Cyber threat response
Organisations face increasing risks from ransomware, AI-driven cyber attacks, and evolving threat actors, requiring robust cyber resilience as part of any data strategy. Under the renewed partnership, HPE and Commvault plan to introduce a range of combined capabilities designed to address these ongoing challenges.
The companies outlined three key joint innovations: Ultra resilience: HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 features built-in ransomware detection, snapshot immutability, and air-gapped protection via HPE Cyber Resilience Vault. These capabilities integrate with Commvault Cloud's AI-enhanced anomaly detection and threat scanning, aiming to improve readiness and response to cyber threats.

Ongoing collaboration
The partnership builds on several existing integrations, including support for HPE StoreOnce backup appliances, HPE Storage Tape solutions for extended data retention, and HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software for virtualised environments. The companies state that this collaborative work has been conducted with the goal of helping enterprises modernise their data protection strategies.
HPE and Commvault's combined suite of services is intended to address data protection and cyber resilience at all stages of the enterprise data lifecycle. Through their joint work, the firms aim to help organisations mitigate risk, upgrade infrastructure, and sustain operational continuity in even the most complex hybrid and multicloud set-ups.

HPE & Veeam expand partnership for hybrid cloud resilience
Veeam Software and HPE have expanded their strategic partnership to deliver a suite of data backup, resilience, and recovery solutions targeting hybrid IT environments. The collaboration involves the integration of Veeam Data Platform with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials and HPE Zerto Software, aiming to simplify protection and migration capabilities for customers managing complex workloads across private and hybrid clouds. The companies state that this partnership allows organisations to streamline their virtual machine (VM) licensing costs, enable efficient VM migration, and extend unified data protection to containerised and cloud-native environments. Enhancing data protection Key elements of the partnership include Veeam Data Platform's integration with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, which is designed to deliver efficient, image-based backups. This feature is anticipated to significantly reduce costs associated with VM licensing, while supporting seamless VM migration and data portability from traditional hypervisor infrastructures. Support is also being extended to container and cloud-native workloads. Through Veeam Kasten, organisations will be able to implement comprehensive, unified data backup for containers in addition to their bare-metal and virtualised environments. This development addresses a growing need for agile and all-encompassing data protection as businesses accelerate cloud-native adoption. Focus on resilience by design In response to rising cyber threats and growing IT complexity, HPE and Veeam are launching the "Data Resilience by Design" initiative. This new framework combines HPE cybersecurity and cyber resilience transformation and readiness services, offering enterprises a structured approach to evaluate and strengthen their data security and resilience. These services create a roadmap for organisations to anticipate and mitigate cyber threats, helping customers shore up their data protection strategies across both private and hybrid cloud landscapes. The companies report that this initiative empowers enterprises to proactively adapt to shifting threat landscapes without sacrificing agility or data availability. "Data is an organisation's most valuable asset – and often its most vulnerable," said Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President of Hybrid Cloud and CTO of HPE. "With our deep partnership and integration, HPE and Veeam are delivering unified virtualisation and data protection that is future-ready, giving customers the resiliency and agility to evolve their hybrid IT strategy." "Organisations face a perfect storm of IT complexity and cyber threats. Data resilience can no longer be an afterthought. Our enhanced partnership ensures organisations can deploy enterprise-grade virtualisation solutions from HPE with Veeam backup, recovery, security and intelligence for maximum data resilience that keeps businesses running," said Anand Eswaran, CEO of Veeam. The enhanced offering allows HPE Morpheus VM Essentials users to deploy Veeam's image-based backup while enabling VM mobility and compatibility across multi-hypervisor environments. Customers operating private cloud solutions or standalone servers can benefit from joint advancements in unified data protection capabilities, with the promise of VM licensing cost reductions of up to 90 percent. Container and cloud coverage Beyond improvements for VM workloads, the partnership also incorporates Veeam Kasten for backup and recovery of containerised and cloud-native applications. This means customers can apply one set of policies to protect disparate systems ranging from physical servers to Kubernetes-based workloads, simplifying compliance and administrative oversight. HPE and Veeam's new data resilience framework additionally provides access to assessment and readiness services. These services are intended to help organisations understand their current risk profile, identify vulnerabilities, and deploy best practices in data security and availability, supporting future-proofing data strategies against evolving cyber threats. The collaboration is also backed by increased joint go-to-market investment from both companies, aiming to drive further adoption of these unified data protection solutions across key markets. Responding to modern requirements This deeper partnership between HPE and Veeam seeks to address customer demands for comprehensive protection, resilience, and agility in an era where cyber incidents and operational disruptions are increasingly common. Both companies position the joint offering as critical for customers shifting to hybrid cloud models and digital transformation agendas. With enhanced data backup, migration, and cyber resilience services, HPE and Veeam state the expanded partnership will help organisations ensure that critical business data is protected, accessible, and secure as technology environments continue to evolve.
