2025-26 DCIG TOP 5 Midmarket Multi-hypervisor Backup Solutions Report Now Available
By Jerome M. Wendt, July 22, 2025
DCIG is excited to announce the release of its much-anticipated 2025-26 DCIG TOP 5 Midmarket Multi-hypervisor Backup Solutions Report. This comprehensive report aims to assist midmarket enterprises in navigating the increasingly complex landscape of multi-hypervisor environments by providing expert guidance on the best backup solutions available today.
Why Multi-hypervisor Backup Solutions Are Essential
The evolving virtualization market is prompting many midmarket enterprises to reconsider their hypervisor strategies. Following Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware and subsequent changes in software licensing and pricing, organizations are exploring alternatives to VMware vSphere to optimize costs and flexibility. Recent surveys suggest that as many as 70% of enterprises could soon operate multi-hypervisor environments, making effective backup solutions not just a luxury but a necessity.
The transition to multi-hypervisor setups has broad implications for enterprises, affecting server hardware choices, cloud integration, and IT staff competencies. Notably, it also demands a reassessment of the backup software used to safeguard critical data across disparate virtualization platforms.
Established Solutions With Multi-hypervisor Support
Fortunately, midmarket enterprises do not have to start from scratch when seeking backup solutions for multi-hypervisor environments. Many mature backup products originally designed for VMware vSphere environments leverage VMware’s data protection APIs and have gradually adapted to accommodate alternative hypervisors as those platforms develop their own APIs.
DCIG’s research found that while more than 30 backup solutions support VMware vSphere, only 13 offer robust multi-hypervisor capabilities suitable for midmarket enterprise use. These 13 solutions were subjected to an extensive evaluation process focusing on core functionality and advanced features that address current enterprise concerns.
