"On Wednesday, the company announced both version 13 of its flagship Data Platform product and a plan to support at least 13 hypervisors. In the first half of 2026, Veeam will add support for XCP-NG, HPE's Morpheus VM Essentials, Citrix's Xen Server, and Sangfor. Later in the year, the company will support Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. HPE's Morpheus is quite new and is yet to achieve much traction."
"That's likely due to Broadcom's preference for selling Cloud Foundation, a product that is considerably more capable and expensive than its vSphere bundles. The Register consistently hears that Broadcom and its partners do not swiftly or enthusiastically respond to requests for vSphere licenses, and that many VMware users take the hint and seek alternative platforms for virtualized workloads that can do without VCF."
Veeam released version 13 of its Data Platform and announced plans to support at least 13 hypervisors. The company will add XCP-NG, HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, Citrix Xen Server, and Sangfor in the first half of 2026, and Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization later in the year. Several targeted hypervisors are new or lack broad market traction, while Citrix has signaled a renewed interest in mainstream virtualization hosting. OpenShift Virtualization competes directly with Cloud Foundation. Broadcom's focus on selling Cloud Foundation is prompting some VMware users to seek alternatives, and Veeam aims to serve those migrating workloads with backup support.
