Veritas, Symantec’s information management business, has announced new offerings for rapidly evolving enterprise datacenters, as well as significant upgrades to its core portfolio of backup and information management products.
“Data is increasingly viewed as a valued asset, or even a product itself. With it being stored at higher rates than ever, the volume of data is also expected to double every two years,” said Chris Lin, Sales Leader of Asia Pacific & Japan Region, Veritas. “To help companies make sense of their tremendous volumes of data, our new offerings will allow our customers to realize information availability while gathering the insight critical to supporting their business goals.”
This set of product enhancements and new solutions showcases a fundamentally different approach to delivering data and services across multiple cloud environments. Enhancements to current products enable simpler management in hybrid cloud infrastructures and extended protection for VMware and Microsoft virtual environments. Veritas is also introducing new products that enable businesses to delve deep into their data stores to recognize and prioritize information across their organizations.
Veritas brings together a unique combination of experience in application availability and storage management on premises and in the cloud. Veritas also offers management tools that help companies find the estimated 1.5 percent of truly valuable data in their organization to glean information, regardless of underlying infrastructure models.
