Veeam v13 Integration and Plugin
Hi Everyone, We're new Pure customers this year and have two Flasharray C models, one for virtual infrastructure and the other will be used solely as a storage repository to back up those virtual ma...

Having spent 6 years at Veeam, I completely understand how eager customers are to adopt new code and features, especially with such a significant release as Veeam V13 (shameless plug for my blog on the subject). I get the frustration of wanting to get your array up and running with the solution.
Here's some context that might help: As one of the storage integrations built on the Universal Storage API, Pure actually builds and maintains our own plugin. Thus Veeam only handles quality assurance on their end. Unlike some other integrations that shipped at launch, we ensure our plugin works with the final GA release of Veeam, which sometimes means waiting on code.
This can occasionally coincide with other initiatives or depend on other features (as this will also support Fusion) to deliver the best solution to address the most use cases, across both customer bases. That said, we definitely don't want to keep anyone waiting longer than necessary, and we're committed to building great solutions with such a strong partner as Veeam.
Hope you understand and I will be sure to return with more details as as soon as I am able to release them.
Circling back. What's the latest status on the fusion plugin for veeam v13 linux software appliance? Our $120k paper weight is eager to get some use.
There is a Directed Availability version available. It is limited to Linux and was developed against the current VBR availability. The General Availability version is set to come in June, inline with the release of Veeam 13.1, which was delayed a bit. Giving Veeam enough time to QA the plugin before release. The GA version will obviously be the most current and the one Veeam is putting through the paces currently. But both options are there
Thank you, Allynz. Do you happen to have a link to the Directed Availability version? All I can find are search results related to Everpure Fusion and not Fusion storage plugin. Not sure why they are named so similar? Nothing on the Veeam support portal either, just the Windows plugin from May of 2025. Maybe I have the plug-in name wrong altogether.

It is a beta- it doesn't support all features. At this point we are on our way to GA- which will be the more complete version. In both cases you will also have to setup Fusion as part of the install. Easiest way to find your eligibility (having the perquisites) is to login to Pure1 and on the left under Administration - got to Fleets. This will highlight arrays that are ready or in Fusion Fleets. And walk through the necessary steps. We can also setup some resources to help, should you need it . Reach out if you have issues downloading.
