Ship data protection inside your product, not as a side project.
Hardware vendors, storage makers and platform builders can add backup and disaster recovery to what they sell. Vembu Shield resilience platform provides the capability without making you carry the engineering cost of building it.
What does OEM mean in the AcePartner Program?
What embedded data protection changes for your product.
Higher product value
A system that ships with backup and recovery is more complete than one that leaves the customer to source it.
Clearer differentiation
Data protection becomes a reason to choose you over a similar hardware or platform vendor.
Less engineering burden
You concentrate on your core product while the platform delivers the protection capability.
New revenue lines
Multi-tenant capabilities allow you to extend into hosted backup and recovery services too.
Choose where the platform runs.
Cloud-hosted
Best for OEMs that want to offer managed backup as a service. No hardware infrastructure is needed and capacity can scale without up-front capital.
Self-hosted
Best for OEMs that bundle backup with appliances. Run it on physical servers, VMs or Docker containers and keep data inside the customer infrastructure.
Licence on the unit that matches your sales motion.
Per socket
A fit for physical servers and appliances with predictable CPU configurations.
Per VM
A fit for virtualised and hyper-converged environments.
Per server
A simple option for mixed physical and virtual estates.
Custom OEM model
Tailored structures for large-scale hardware programmes.
Picking an OEM approach.
| Your situation | Suggested approach | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Selling storage or backup appliances | Self-hosted, per socket or per server | Keeps data inside the customer’s rack and matches hardware quoting |
| Building a hyper-converged platform | Self-hosted, per VM | Licence tracks the virtual footprint customers buy |
| Running a hosted or managed platform | Cloud-hosted with multi-tenancy | Offers BaaS and DRaaS without owning the software stack |
| Large-scale hardware programme | Custom OEM model | Structure designed around volume and release cycles |

OEM partner questions
What is the difference between OEM and reseller?
A reseller sells the product on its own. An OEM embeds the capability in its own hardware, platform or service, and sells the combined solution.
Can data protection be bundled with hardware?
Yes. A self-hosted deployment runs on physical servers, VMs or Docker containers and can ship with appliances.
Which licensing models are available?
Per-socket, per-VM, per-server and custom OEM structures, selected to match how you sell.
Is support available for OEM teams?
OEM programmes include technical documentation, sales collateral, training and a 24/7 technical support route.
Can an OEM also offer hosted services?
Yes. The cloud-hosted model with multi-tenancy supports BaaS and DRaaS delivery for OEMs that run managed services.
Planning to embed data protection in your product?
Describe the product and sales model. The partner team will map the right deployment and licensing route.
