Veritas paves the way for Digital Business Transformation

Veritas Technologies has announced its vision for a sweeping range of new solutions for cloud data management designed to help organizations as they transform to digital businesses. The new solutions will address the three foundational pillars for comprehensive enterprise data management: data protection, data availability and data insight. With its new cloud data management solutions, Veritas will help organizations manage the IT complexity of hybrid clouds with new capabilities that help them drive more value from their data while reducing cost and business risk.  

“The opportunity to leverage data is hindered by the fact that it is stored in many places, making it difficult for organizations to manage and govern,” said Ana Pinczuk, Chief Product Officer at Veritas. “In a world of digital transformation where information is everything, data becomes your key business asset.  Data is growing exponentially and you can’t solve that with hardware.  A software-driven approach, which completely abstracts information from infrastructure, is the only path forward.  Veritas’ data management solutions help organizations achieve data protection, business resiliency and regulatory readiness across heterogeneous environments, whether on-premises or in the cloud.”

Organizations want to seamlessly move data to and from the cloud to take advantage of the added operational efficiencies and flexibility delivered by cloud environments. It is critical that organizations remain confident their data is protected as their cloud investments continue to grow. Building on existing support for cloud providers that include Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google, future releases of Veritas NetBackup will add connector capabilities to Microsoft Azure and OpenStack clouds. NetBackup is expected to provide the enhanced cloud connector capabilities in the coming quarters.

While OpenStack delivers flexibility and agility, application performance concerns and noisy neighbour challenges can cause enterprises to hesitate when it comes to deploying their business critical applications on OpenStack. Veritas is aligning with the open-source community to help OpenStack users reap the benefits of a software-defined future. The new Veritas HyperScale for OpenStack software-defined storage solution will allow organizations to confidently deploy their OLTP tier-one and tier-two applications on OpenStack environments and ensure storage quality of service and application resiliency.
