GEC NEWS WIREVeeam Software has expanded its collaboration with Cisco. The partnership is to deliver Veeam High Availability on Cisco HyperFlex – a new, highly resilient data management platform that provides seamless scalability, ease of management, and support for multi-cloud environments through Cisco support services.
“Our partnership with Cisco has only continued to strengthen and expand,” said Peter McKay, Co-CEO and President at Veeam. “We are Cisco’s ISV Partner of the Year and have had strong market success winning together, and now we are collaborating on this new solution to meet customer demand for even more innovative ways to modernize their data centers. Veeam Availability on Cisco HyperFlex responds to feedback from large enterprise customers and service provider partners who have asked for additional integrated solutions with Cisco. Customers will have the benefit of purchasing from one vendor as this solution will be offered directly from Cisco.

The new solution combines the Veeam Hyper-Availability Platform with Cisco’s Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) solution, HyperFlex, to meet the needs of enterprise IT organizations.
