The addition of orchestration for Hyper-V to Veeam Data Platform Premium extends data portability by delivering true end-to-end planned data migration and a zero data loss configuration.
Veeam is bringing the industry’s leading recovery orchestrator to Microsoft Hyper-V customers as part of the Veeam Data Platform.
Veeam Recovery Orchestrator simplifies and automates the disaster recovery planning, testing, and execution process.
Building on Veeam Data Platform’s industry-leading cyber resilience – malware scanning, IoC detection, and proactive threat scanning – enhanced Hyper-V orchestration delivers faster recovery, stronger defences and maximum uptime.
Available to Veeam Data Platform Premium customers, Orchestrator now supports disaster recovery (DR) orchestration of Hyper-V machines and also orchestrates the recovery of other machines to Hyper-V, enhancing data portability as organisations explore or transition to new hypervisors.
Key highlights include:
- Seamless Data Portability: Facilitates automated movement of data across different platforms; Eliminates vendor lock-in, allowing users to switch between environments without constraints.
- Freedom to Migrate: Users can migrate to new hypervisors or the cloud without needing to adopt a new backup vendor; Reduces complexities and accelerates the migration process.
- Automation and Orchestration Plans: Provides structured and automated migration processes that are both documented and tested for governance purposes; Saves time and reduces costs for organisations undergoing migration.
- Real Value for VMware and Hyper-V Customers: Helps ensures a smooth transition of data with minimal disruption without the need to learn new backup solutions or deal with educational barriers when changing hypervisors.
“Our mission is to deliver data resilience to ensure every customer has their data when and where they need it. Data will inevitably be compromised – whether by threat actors or human error – so having a rapid and confident recovery process in place is crucial. Veeam makes sure organisations are ready for the unexpected and that business keeps running regardless,” said John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer, Veeam.
John Annand, Practice Lead Infrastructure, Info-Tech Research Group, said: “With data now spread across 192 servers, Kubernetes clusters, SaaS and serverless applications, and various cloud platforms, orchestration is essential for timely data recovery. It embodies resiliency, restoring interconnected systems to their expected state after disruptions, allowing businesses to resume operations.

Jim Ballowe, CIO, Esquire Deposition Solutions, said: “The beauty of Veeam Orchestrator in terms of making sure we’re compliant from a business continuity perspective is in running tests every quarter. We make sure that all the machines – whether Windows, Linux or anything in between – come back online. Veeam Orchestrator gives us a fantastic output showing what worked, what didn’t work, and what we need to fix. We can recover instantly and we can prove it. This proof gives us everything we need to match – not just checking the box for compliance purposes, but to get back online with a really aggressive RTO.”
