The IT industry has been rapidly evolving over the past year with many changes in the virtualization market driving organizations looking for cost effective, scalable alternatives to legacy infrastructure solutions. Major challenges for IT teams include migrating hypervisors and securing data from cyberthreats while controlling costs. If you’re an IT leader, these changes aren’t just industry headlines, these are real world challenges impacting your budget, your operations, and your peace of mind.
Earlier this year, during our customer conference, VeeamON, Veeam and Scale Computing made a strategic announcement with the intent to bring our undisputed, industry-leading data protection to the SC//HyperCore
operating system. Originally targeting Q4 of 2025, we’ve been fielding questions and excitement from customers about this topic.
So, we are certainly excited to announce that the Veeam Backup for Scale Computing plug-in is now live and available for download!
Veeam, the industry leader in data protection and ransomware recovery, now natively supports SC//HyperCore. Our joint solution offers a unified, agentless platform for backup, recovery, and disaster recovery (DR) across all your virtualized workloads, ranging from the core datacenter, at the edge, and in the cloud. This brand-new offering provides customers with a new and unmatched level of data resilience and portability for a modern, secure, and cost-effective alternative to legacy solutions, giving you back control over your IT environment.
Secure with Built-In Ransomware Resilience
Cyberattacks are no longer a matter of “if”, they’re a matter of “when”. Increasingly, attackers are going after your best line of defense: Your backups. According to the latest Veeam Data Protection Trends report, 89% of ransomware attacks specifically target an organization’s backups1. If backups are compromised, the odds of recovery drop significantly. Traditional backup systems often rely on external storage or manual immutability settings, which can be bypassed or misconfigured by bad actors.
Veeam and Scale Computing have a truly complimentary approach to combat ransomware. Security isn’t an afterthought, it’s built in. SC//HyperCore zero trust architecture ensures that only verified users and processes can access your systems and data. With Veeam Data Platform’s proven immutability capabilities, you can ensure that once data is written, it can’t be altered, whether maliciously or accidentally, and is encrypted by default. When combined, this helps ensure that you’ll meet your compliance goals and rest easy knowing that you have backups to recover from.
However, your environment is not always free of threats. Dwell time for malware is real, and reinfection from a backup is also a real, valid concern. When it comes to clean recovery, secure restore capabilities allow you to perform threat hunting as part of the process, granting you the confidence you need as part of ransomware recovery. It’s a layered defense strategy that protects your business, not just your data.
Simplicity Across Edge, Core, and Cloud
Many organizations are still running infrastructure that was designed for a different era, one where datacenters and large IT teams were the norm. But today’s reality is distributed, and edge sites, remote offices, and hybrid environments are the new standard. Managing separate SANs, hypervisors, and backup tools across these environments creates silos with unnecessary complexity and risk.
With Veeam and Scale Computing, you can simplify complexity and turn risk to readiness. SC//HyperCore consolidates compute, storage, and virtualization into a single, hyperconverged solution. Veeam Data Platform layers on agentless, incremental backups that just work, with no manual babysitting, no bolt-on agents, and no performance trade-offs. This provides you with a unified platform that’s easy to deploy, easy to manage, and resilient by design.
We know that efficiency is important when it comes to your data. With capabilities like backup data lifecycle management, clean recovery, and inline malware detection, you can achieve the data protection that Veeam is known for. Combined with Scale Computing’s self-healing architecture and native high availability to keep workloads running, you have a formula for resilience, even when hardware fails.
Freedom From Vendor Lock-In
Legacy virtualization solutions, especially those impacted by vendor consolidation, left many IT teams facing skyrocketing costs, restrictive licensing, and uncertainty about future innovation or support. That’s why the partnership between Veeam and Scale Computing couldn’t come at a better time. Many organizations are feeling trapped by their current technology vendors, being locked into restrictive contracts, costly renewals, and proprietary formats. With Veeam + Scale Computing, you’re not tied down.
Veeam’s Portable Data Format means you can move workloads between hypervisors and clouds freely, which reduces downtime and improves business continuity. Furthermore, with Veeam’s Universal License (VUL), you have a single, portable license solution that can be used across cloud, virtual, and physical workloads with no hassle.
SC//HyperCore delivers a simple, resilient virtualization platform without the complexity, bloat, and lock-in of legacy stacks.
Why it matters: You decide where your workloads live, not your vendor.
