Veeam, a global leader in data resilience, has entered a new phase in its relationship with managed service providers (MSPs) with the launch of Veeam Data Cloud (VDC) for MSPs, available through the VCSP (Veeam Cloud & Service Provider) program. It is presented as the “easy button” for deploying, managing, and protecting customer workloads —Microsoft 365 and Entra ID— from day one—with native connection to Veeam Vault, all through a single interface backed by automation, multi-layer security, and actionable analytics.
This is not a minor product adaptation: Veeam Data Cloud for MSPs is born as a multi-tenant SaaS solution to scale without own infrastructure, reduce operational complexity, and accelerate the launch of backup and disaster recovery services. The clear goal: enable partners to sell and operate data resilience with less friction, more visibility, and sustainable margins.
“Partners are at the heart of everything we do,” emphasized John Jester, Veeam’s Chief Revenue Officer. “With Veeam Data Cloud for MSPs, our partners can deliver leading data resilience through a secure and multi-tenant SaaS platform, simplify deployments and management, and grow profitably, supported by Veeam’s innovation and leadership.”
What Changes with Veeam Data Cloud for MSPs
1) A unified SaaS platform for multi-tenant and multi-load environments
VDC centralizes tenant management and protection tasks within a single console, eliminating silos and reducing the need for ad-hoc bridges between tools. The experience is a “dashboard, many accounts”: rapid onboarding, reusable policies, and consistent operations across all customers.
2) Painless scaling and rapid deployments
As a managed service, MSPs don’t need to deploy infrastructure to get started; they create tenants, define policies, and activate protection for Microsoft 365 (Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams) and Entra ID within hours, not weeks. This out-of-the-box elasticity allows absorbing demand spikes or new contracts without investment curves.
3) Security and trust with integrated policies and threat intelligence
The platform incorporates policy-based protection, embedded threat intelligence, and the guarantees of a constantly up-to-date SaaS. Practically, this leads to coherent controls across clients, early alerts, consistent security postures, and fewer configuration gaps. VDC also adds centralized access and control with role-based management, crucial for 24/7 service teams.
4) Actionable analytics and real-time dashboards
VDC provides teams with telemetry that goes beyond “correct/incorrect work”: trends, risks, and recommendations to optimize operations, prioritize remediation, and proactively address incidents. This level of visibility shortens MTTR and helps demonstrate compliance and value to the end customer.
5) Native connection to Veeam Vault
The immutable storage certified with Veeam Vault integrates as a trusted repository to strengthen 3-2-1 strategies (3 copies, 2 media, 1 off-site) and increase resilience against ransomware. The promise is to reduce time-to-vault to just a few clicks, with no plumbing involved.
6) Business acceleration for partners
Reducing operational barriers enables MSPs to launch services faster, cut costs, and expand into new markets/verticals. The expected result: more ARR with less OPEX per customer, better SLA performance, and higher-value contracts (audits, reporting, managed recovery).
Current and Upcoming Workloads Protected (and what’s coming this year)
Veeam Data Cloud for MSPs currently protects:
- Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Teams).
- Entra ID (identities, critical directory objects).
- Veeam Vault as an immutable storage layer.
And support is confirmed soon (this year) for:
- Azure (selected IaaS/PaaS workloads).
- Salesforce.
- Bundles specifically for Microsoft 365 + Entra ID.
Global availability is delivered via the Veeam Rental Program, the usual channel for monetizing services like VCSP.
How It Looks in Daily MSP Operations
- Provisioning and onboarding: MSP creates tenants, defines policies, and activates coverage for perimeters (365, Entra ID), integrating Veeam Vault in the same flow.
- Operations: the console offers monitoring, alerts, dashboards, and bulk actions (e.g., policy changes for a subset of clients) without switching between different consoles.
- Security and compliance: role-based access and permissions for teams and sub-teams; audit trails and reports that validate posture and SLA; updates without MSP intervention.
- Efficiency: fewer hours spent on “install/update” and more on managed services that add value: posture reviews, restore testing, incident response tabletop exercises.
Channel Voices: Initial Impressions
Several Veeam partners already operate with the Microsoft 365 version and share insights on the impact:
- Sphinx Worldbiz (Manoj Kumar): “Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 opened opportunities for us and accelerated growth; we look forward to the expansion of VDC within VCSP.”
- Aegis Cloud (Wilson Lam): “The new version will integrate security and operation more seamlessly, promoting proactive management, a smaller footprint, and better delivery.”
- Intelligent Technology Solutions (Peter Swarowski): “VDC for 365 simplified managed backups for us and our clients; the unified UI and expanded support will make the next version especially attractive.”
More Power for Partners: Veeam Service Provider Console v9
Alongside the new VDC, Veeam announced Service Provider Console v9. This update opens the control of the latest features of Veeam Data Platform to providers and hosters, with a clear focus on: security, compliance, and flexible operations from a single unified console. Highlights include:
- Comprehensive compatibility with Veeam Data Platform (including security and compliance features).
- Extended support for the Veeam Software Appliance.
- Deeper integration with Veeam ONE for visibility and reporting.
- Usability improvements and AI insights to help prioritize remediation and save time on repetitive tasks.
For partners building on Veeam software—besides or outside of VDC—Console v9 reinforces centralized control and governance of hybrid and multi-tenant environments.
Benefits for the End Customer (and Why It Matters in 2025)
The concept of radical resilience—Veeam’s motto—has become a necessity: increasingly complex cyberattacks, shadow IT in SaaS, rising compliance demands, and evolving hybrid environments. For the end customer, hiring an MSP that operates Veeam Data Cloud and/or Service Provider Console v9 means:
- Consistent backups and restorations that are tested and documented.
- Less risk of misconfigurations and greater standardization.
- Reports and telemetry that demonstrate compliance and value.
- Adherence to best practices (immutability, separation of duties, least privilege, periodic recovery testing).
This enables MSPs to focus on delivering results (RTO/RPO, continuity, ransomware resilience) rather than just “installing versions.”
Risks and Questions the Channel Will Want to Address
- Transition and coexistence: how do VDC and traditional deployments (on-premises/software) coexist in large accounts or with special requirements.
- Cost and packaging: impact of the Rental Program, pricing per tenant/user, and how to package value-added services (restoration tests, audits, managed recovery) on top of VDC.
- Workload scheduling: specific timelines for Azure and Salesforce, bundles, and compatibility.
- Advanced security: control matrix (immutability, air-gapped, zero trust), audits, and documentation for regulated sectors.
The promise of Veeam—“future-ready” with continuous innovation—provides compelling reasons, but the operational details will ultimately convince service delivery and pre-sales teams of each partner.
Availability and Getting Started
Veeam Data Cloud for MSPs is globally available via the Veeam Rental Program. Protection for Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Veeam Vault is operational today; support for Azure and Salesforce, as well as bundles for 365 and Entra ID, is scheduled for this year. Service Provider Console v9 already includes expanded support for the new platform and the latest Veeam Data Platform capabilities.
For assessing fit, Veeam recommends partners:
- Identify target accounts with Microsoft 365/Entra ID and immutability requirements.
- Launch a multi-tenant pilot with VDC and measure operational KPIs (MTTR, repetitive tasks, time-to-protect).
- Package value-added services (restoration testing, compliance reports, exercise responses).
- Train the team in Console v9 and its integration with Veeam ONE to leverage telemetry and insights.
Conclusion
With Veeam Data Cloud for MSPs and Service Provider Console v9, Veeam empowers the channel with a combination of multi-tenant SaaS and operational tools that simplify, scale, and strengthen data resilience. For MSPs, value isn’t just in backup, but in operating continuity with visibility, security, and margin. For the end customer, it means less risk and greater confidence. In a market where availability and recovery determine whether it’s an anecdote or a crisis, that combination is precisely what is needed.
