Veeam Data Platform Premium – 10-Instance, 5-Year Renewal with Upfront Billing

Experience enterprise-grade data protection with Veeam Data Platform Premium, now available with Upfront Billing for renewals and a 10-instance license that travels with your growing hybrid environment. This subscription-based solution is engineered to keep your data safe, rapidly recoverable, and always accessible, no matter where your data resides—on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge. With a 5-year renewal horizon, you gain budget predictability, streamlined license management, and ongoing access to Veeam’s most trusted data protection capabilities. The Premium tier delivers robust backup, instant recovery, resilient ransomware protection, and advanced verification—designed for businesses that demand reliability, scalability, and operational simplicity in one comprehensive platform.

• Comprehensive data protection across all environments. Veeam Data Platform Premium provides end-to-end backup and recovery for virtual machines, physical servers, cloud instances, and SaaS workloads. It unifies protection across on-premises data centers and multi-cloud deployments, ensuring consistent recovery objectives (RPOs and RTOs) and simplified governance. This breadth of coverage reduces the risk of data loss from outages, human error, or cyber threats while enabling seamless orchestration of backup, replication, and disaster recovery workflows from a single console.
• Upfront billing with predictable renewal planning. The Subscription Upfront Billing model for renewals gives finance teams a clear, predictable cost structure. By consolidating renewal spend into a single upfront payment, organizations can forecast budgets more accurately, minimize renewal friction, and maintain continuous protection without interruption. This approach is especially valuable for mid-market to enterprise environments where long-term planning and cost controls matter most.
• Ten-actor license capacity for scalable protection. The 10-instance entitlement is designed to support midsize to larger environments, allowing you to protect a broad set of workloads under a single license. As your IT footprint expands—whether you add virtual machines, new physical servers, or cloud instances—the Premium tier’s architecture supports scale, with license-compatible expansion and consistent protection coverage across the estate.
• Premium features that strengthen recovery speed and security. In the Premium tier, you gain access to enhanced capabilities such as application-aware backups, instant VM recovery, SureBackup verification, and automated test restores. These features validate recoveries before you need them, reduce the risk of failed restores, and ensure RPO/RTO targets are met under workload churn. Built-in immutability, ransomware protection, and scalable cloud integration further fortify your defense against evolving threats while maintaining compliance with data protection policies.
• Centralized management, streamlined operations, and strong support. A unified console provides centralized control over backup, replication, and recovery across all data sources. With role-based access, policy-based protection, and automated lifecycle management, teams can standardize protection workflows, enforce retention policies, and simplify reporting. The Premium subscription typically includes vendor-supported maintenance, ensuring you receive updates, security patches, and new features as soon as they’re released, helping you stay current in a rapidly evolving data protection landscape.

How to install Veeam Data Platform Premium

Installing Veeam Data Platform Premium under an upfront renewal subscription is designed to be straightforward, with a focus on quick deployment, minimal disruption, and immediate protection for your environment. Follow these high-level steps to get started:

• Prepare your environment: Verify that your virtualization platform (such as VMware or Hyper-V), operating systems, and storage targets meet the minimum requirements for the Premium edition. Ensure you have sufficient network bandwidth and permissions to install backups and connect to your data sources.
• Obtain licenses and access: Retrieve your 10-instance renewal license assignment from the Veeam licensing portal or your reseller. Ensure that the subscription status is active and that the renewal term aligns with your 5-year plan.
• Install the Veeam Backup & Replication components: Deploy the Veeam Data Platform Premium components on a suitable Windows or Linux server (as supported by the product version). Run the installer, select the Backup & Replication workload, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation with the appropriate service accounts and privilege levels.
• Add data sources and targets: Connect your virtual machines, physical servers, cloud instances, and application workloads. Configure storage targets (local, SAN, or object storage) and define retention policies that align with your business SLAs.
• Create protection policies: Build protection plans for your workloads, specifying backup frequency, retention windows, and test/verification tasks. Enable features such as application-aware processing, synthetic or active full backups, and immutability where required by policy.
• Enable verification and testing: Use SureBackup or SureReplica to automatically verify recoverability of protected workloads on a regular cadence, reducing the risk of surprises during a real recovery.
• Set up monitoring and alerting: Configure centralized dashboards, alerts, and reports to track backup status, job success, and compliance posture. Leverage integration with your SIEM or ITSM tools for streamlined operations.
• Establish disaster recovery workflows: If DR is part of your strategy, implement replication to offsite or cloud targets and define failover/failback procedures that align with your RPO/RTO goals.
• Ongoing management: Regularly review backup jobs, retention policies, and test results. Apply updates and security patches promptly through the maintenance channel to keep your protection current and resilient against threats.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does the Premium tier include, and how does it differ from other Veeam data protection options?
• A: The Premium tier combines comprehensive backup and recovery for virtual, physical, and cloud workloads with advanced verification, ransomware protection, and centralized management. It emphasizes reliability, performance, and ease of use, making it suitable for organizations with mixed environments and strict recovery objectives. Other tiers may emphasize different feature sets or licensing models, but Premium focuses on end-to-end protection plus verification and security features.
• Q: How does the upfront renewal billing work, and what are the financial benefits?
• A: Upfront renewal billing requires a single payment to extend the subscription term. This model provides budget predictability, reduces renewal administration, and ensures continuous access to updates and support for the duration of the term. It can simplify procurement and cash flow planning, especially for organizations that prefer annual or multi-year budgeting cycles.
• Q: How many instances are covered by the 10-instance license, and can I add more later?
• A: The license covers 10 instances as part of the renewal. If your environment grows, you can typically upgrade to include additional instances or transition to a higher tier, subject to licensing terms and availability. Contact your Veeam representative or reseller to discuss expansion options and pricing.
• Q: What kind of support and maintenance are provided with this renewal?
• A: Support and maintenance are included per the subscription terms, usually encompassing product updates, security patches, and access to technical support during the contract period. For enterprise deployments, there may be tiered support levels with varying response times—verify the exact terms in your renewal contract.
• Q: Is SureBackup verification included, and why is it important?
• A: Yes, verification features like SureBackup are commonly included in Premium offerings. SureBackup automatically tests backups by booting them in a safe, isolated environment to verify recoverability and application consistency. This proactive validation helps ensure that recoveries will succeed when needed, reducing downtime and preserving business continuity.
• Q: Can I use cloud storage with Veeam Data Platform Premium?
• A: Yes, the Premium tier typically supports integration with cloud object storage and hybrid cloud configurations for long-term retention, offsite backups, and scalable storage expansion. This enables cost-effective, geo-dispersed protection while keeping data readily available for restore operations.
