Nutanix recognised Veeam as the sole recipient of this award during Nutanix’s Global .NEXT Conference and Partner Xchange Digital Experience. Veeam and Nutanix have taken a significant leap forward in their partnership over the past year by helping customers modernise their data centre and data protection technologies.
Veeam collaborated with Nutanix to deliver availability for applications and data running on Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor with Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV, which has experienced 150% growth in product downloads year-over-year for Q2’20. As organisations modernise their on-premises IT strategy to include Nutanix AHV, Veeam delivers the best-in-class assurance of protection and recovery using the same proven Veeam technologies and capabilities that enterprises rely on to simplify the rapid recovery of critical business applications and data.
In addition to Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV, Nutanix chose Veeam as its strategic, data protection design partner to help develop from the ground up a new, highly converged full-stack secondary storage solution that includes Veeam Backup & Replication as part of a turnkey solution, Nutanix Mine with Veeam. Released in January, Nutanix Mine with Veeam delivers a wealth of value for Veeam and Nutanix customers and partners looking to simplify the journey beyond backup and towards true Cloud Data Management. Sold by Nutanix, Nutanix Mine with Veeam can be deployed in minutes and simplifies the full lifecycle of data backup operations, including on-going management, scaling and troubleshooting.
The offering combines highly-efficient storage working in concert with Veeam Backup and Replication, helping customers achieve comprehensive data protection for all their workloads, virtual, physical and private cloud, to meet increasing business demands for uptime and productivity.

We are excited to receive this award as a testament to our strong partnership and achievements with Nutanix.”
