Veeam Data Platform v13.1 expands hypervisor coverage, enhances cyber resilience, automates AD recovery, and introduces unified command platform.
Veeam Data Platform v13.1, shipping summer 2026, significantly expands workload coverage by supporting new hypervisors including Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, Sangfor aSV, Vates XCP-ng, and Citrix XenServer, now covering 95% of major hypervisors.
The release enhances cyber resilience across three pillars: secure infrastructure with simplified network ports and zero-trust architecture, secure data with post-quantum cryptography support and real-time threat detection, and secure recovery featuring automated Active Directory Forest Recovery that compresses what traditionally takes days into a controlled wizard-driven workflow.
A new DataAI Command Platform serves as a unified console providing centralized visibility and control across the entire Veeam portfolio, with native AI Agents offering contextual impact analysis for data restoration and operations support.
