Celebrating a partnership that delivers simpler, more resilient virtualization and data protection from the edge to the core. 

At the 4th annual SC//Platform 2026 Summit Awards, Veeam was honored as Alliance Partner of the Year, a recognition we’re proud of because it reflects what matters most: Delivering real outcomes for customers who are navigating modern virtualization change. 

The awards were presented during SC//Platform 2026 Summit at Resorts World Las Vegas, where technology leaders, innovators, and partners came together to share innovations and celebrate the ecosystem’s biggest wins. 

Why This Recognition Matters 

IT teams are under pressure from every direction, including virtualization uncertainty and rising costs, distributed environments that are hard to manage, and cyberthreats that increasingly target backups. Scale Computing has built a strong reputation for helping organizations modernize and streamline with hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), especially in distributed and edge environments where traditional datacenter or cloud approaches can be too complex or costly. Veeam Software ensures customers can protect and recover their data with confidence no matter where it lives. The Veeam + Scale Computing alliance was built to help organizations simplify their infrastructure decisions without compromising enterprise-grade data protection and recovery. 

• Security-first resilience: Strong protection and recovery capabilities that are designed to keep clean restore points available when it matters most. 

• Simplicity and ease of migration: A streamlined experience that reduces operational overhead for lean IT teams across edge and core locations. 

• Freedom of choice: A modern alternative to costly, restrictive virtualization stacks that supports IT modernization without vendor lock-in. 

What Veeam and Scale Computing are Delivering Together 

Veeam and Scale Computing deliver a unified solution that simplifies IT infrastructure and data protection from the edge to the cloud. For customers looking for a VMware alternative, the combination of Scale Computing solutions and Veeam’s data resilience capabilities help reduce complexity, improve recoverability, and keep modernization projects moving forward. These capabilities include:  

• Resilience for edge and distributed environments where downtime isn’t an option. 

• Operational simplicity by pairing streamlined infrastructure with trusted data protection. 

• Confidence in recovery to help support business continuity when incidents happen. 

Celebrating the Partnership and Outcomes Customers Care About 

“The virtualization landscape is shifting beneath our feet. With acquisitions reshaping licensing models and impacting costs, IT leaders are being forced to reevaluate long-standing infrastructure decisions. With Veeam and Scale Computing, you can simplify complexity and turn risk to resilience.” – Mike Rau, VP Global Partner Ecosystem, Veeam
