Veeam Data Platform
By Veeam Software
Veeam's pricing is primarily structured around the Veeam Universal License (VUL), which is a portable, per-workload subscription. A 'workload' or 'instance' can represent a single VM, a physical server, three workstations, or 500GB of NAS data. This model allows customers to reallocate licenses as they migrate from on-premises to the cloud. The platform is sold in three editions: Foundation (includes Veeam Backup & Replication), Advanced (adds Veeam ONE for monitoring), and Premium (adds Recovery Orchestrator). Pricing typically starts around $1,550 per year for a 10-instance Foundation pack. Enterprise-level discounts and multi-year contracts significantly reduce the per-unit cost. For small businesses, 'Veeam Data Platform Essentials' offers a lower-cost entry point for up to 50 workloads. Additional costs may include cloud storage fees (e.g., Veeam Vault) or professional services for complex implementations.
