The Data Protection Trinity: IBM Cloud VCF, Veeam, and Elastio

In today’s hybrid cloud environments, data protection is more than just backup—it’s about resilience, security, and assured recoverability. As threats like ransomware grow more sophisticated and compliance demands tighten, IT leaders must go beyond traditional disaster recovery plans and adopt a strategy that ensures not only that data exists, but that it’s clean, restorable, and proven.

That’s where the combination of IBM Cloud VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), Veeam, and Elastio—what Neil Taylor calls the Data Protection Trinity—comes into play. Together, they create a modern, integrated architecture that balances high availability with ransomware resilience and recovery assurance.

Neil’s blog breaks down how each piece of the puzzle plays a critical role:

  • IBM Cloud VCF provides the cloud-smart infrastructure,
  • Veeam delivers robust data backup and replication,
  • Elastio brings real-time threat detection and clean recovery validation.

This trio doesn’t just protect your data—it ensures you can trust it when it matters most.
