BANGALORE, INDIA: Symantec Corp. announced a new approach for modernizing back-up and recovery.
“Today, Symantec unveils a radical new plan to modernize data protection that will drive out 80 per cent of the operating costs associated with back-up over the next five years,” said Deepak Mohan, senior vice president, Symantec Information Management Group. “Symantec is announcing a new set of solutions that address the problems in back-up – from the most complex of enterprise data centres requiring a true tiered-recovery strategy to the smallest business that needs the confidence that they can easily recover their data.”
Key components to Symantec’s unique approach to data protection are the NetBackup 7.5 and Backup Exec 2012.
Symantec’s strategy focuses on the following areas:
Change the Operating Model of Back-up: Symantec’s strategy is to eliminate 80 per cent of the operating cost of back-up by delivering an integrated platform that replaces multiple solutions typically used in back-up today.
Break the Back-up Window: Faster back-up with NetBackup 7.5, compared to traditional approaches, means organizations can complete full back-ups at the speed of incremental back-ups without sacrificing recoverability to meet critical service levels.
Fight Infinite Retention: New back-up search capabilities in NetBackup give IT the ability to separate out what is relevant to legal or compliance investigations while keeping the rest of the back-up infrastructure running on a more typical 30-60-90 day back-up cycle. Infinite retention is infinite waste for IT and infinite risk for legal.
Unify Snapshots and Back-up: Unifying snapshots and back-up with NetBackup gives organizations the speed of snapshots with the recoverability of back-up.
Stop Putting Tapes on Trucks: With the help of Symantec NetBackup technology, organizations can modernize disaster recovery strategies and stop the practice of shipping tapes by truck.
Symantec NetBackup Auto Image Replication (AIR) allows customers to eliminate volumes of physical assets and prioritize files that can be sent over the network, while significantly reducing the chance for human error.
Unite Virtual and Physical Back-ups: Reduce operating costs around virtualization with patent pending Symantec V-Ray technology that enables organizations to have deeper visibility into VMware and Hyper-V machines for virtual back-ups with a single product. Integrated in NetBackup and Backup Exec, V-Ray delivers load balanced virtual machine backups to eliminate backup storms, improve virtual machine performance and reduce storage by deduplicating data everywhere, whether it is on VMware, Hyper-V or physical servers.
One Product for Any Recovery: Symantec provides one solution for all back-ups whether they are based on tape, disk, or in physical or virtual environments.
A lot of hype have been building around the word 'Cloud' and the latest to come in the picture is 'cloud storage', also called storage-as-a-service
