This week we announced some big news. Predatar has been awarded Veeam Ready status. So, why is this a big deal for us and for our customers on the journey to cyber readiness?
The journey began
Rewind just 2 years, and Predatar’s Cyber Recovery Orchestration (CRO) platform was exclusively for IBM backup customers. Built to fill a competitive gap, we had an ambition not only to provide competitive levels of resilience to this very specific customer base – we wanted to give them total recovery confidence.
Despite our success in building the most innovative Recovery Assurance platform on the market, we couldn’t deliver total recovery confidence for most of our customers. Why? Because many of them – mostly medium and large enterprises – use multiple storage and backup technologies from different vendors.
A fork in the road
We recognised that total recovery confidence for our customers meant multi-platform support. We would need to bring our ground-breaking technology to all the big backup platforms – and primary storage technologies too.
The first integration we built outside of the IBM storage ecosystem was for Veeam. As the world’s most widely used backup & recovery platform the choice was a no-brainer.
We’ve come a long way
We launched Veeam support last year in the Predatar R14:Eagle release. It was a huge milestone. Today, Predatar supports IBM Storage Protect, IBM Data Protect, IBM FlashSystems, Veeam, Cohesity, Rubrik and Pure storage.
Customers have often told us they don’t want separate cyber resiliency solutions for each of the storage platforms they use. Now with just one Predatar CRO licence and one Predatar CleanRoom, customers can hunt-down and remove hidden malware, and run automated recovery testing across all of their storage technologies – 24/7.
A signpost on the road to resiliency
This week Predatar has been awarded Veeam Ready status. Veeam designed the Veeam Ready Program to help their customers find technologies they can rely on. The Veeam Ready badge lets the world know that the integration has been through an extensive validation process, and Veeam has deemed the Predatar solution worthy of the prestigious marque.

Benedikt Däumling, Business Solutions Architect at Veeam explains,“Predatar’s Veeam Ready status let’s our customers know this is a tried and tested integration that they can trust.”
For Veeam customers on a journey to greater operational resilience, Predatar’s Veeam Ready badge is a clear sign of a solution they can rely on and one that’s worthy of serious consideration. According to Stefan Renner, Technical Director of Product Management at Veeam
“Predatar gives Veeam customers a great choice for boosting resiliency.”
Accelerate your journey to cyber readiness
If your organisation is facing obstacles on the road to cyber readiness, it’s worth knowing that Predatar can be deployed in hours, and typically starts to deliver tangible results within a matter of weeks. In fact, Predatar has uncovered hidden malware in over 70% of customer deployments within the first 8 weeks. In most cases the malware had been present for several months and had the potential to cause significant damage.
