With this release, the company is also including its Universal Storage API, a new storage interface that will allow it to more rapidly support new storage integrations going forward, leading to superior backup performance, lower risk of data loss, and more rapid recovery.

As a result, in VAS 9.5 U3, the company is able to add integration with IBM Spectrum Virtualise, extending its storage snapshot integration capabilities to IBM Storwize and any SAN Volume Controller based storage arrays, as well as to the Lenovo Storage V Series.

This expansion of Veeam’s strategic partnership with IBM is in addition to current strategic partnerships with HPE, Cisco, and NetApp.
