Deepak Mohan, Executive Vice President, Products Organisation at Veritas, said: “Digital transformation is helping enterprises to accelerate service delivery and reduce costs. The best strategy for businesses that want to embrace hyperconverged architectures is to standardise on a single data protection platform. Veritas NetBackup 9 with Flex Scale gives customers freedom of choice with the most flexible deployment models in the industry today by empowering them to protect over 800 workloads in a scale-out, scale-up, or cloud storage model.”
NetBackup 9 Delivers Scale-out Architecture with Flex Scale
NetBackup 9 is already available in more flexible deployment modes than is offered by any player in the industry. With the inclusion of its new scale-out hyperconverged mode, Veritas continues to expand customer choice while reducing complexity, cost and risk. NetBackup software-defined deployment modes now include:
· NetBackup – in the cloud, on Build-Your-Own Server (BYOS), purpose-built appliances and virtual appliances
· NetBackup Flex – secure, multitenant containerised deployment
· NetBackup Flex Scale – a software-defined, automated, hyperconverged solution for next-generation data centres
NetBackup 9 Delivers Operational Simplicity
The launch of NetBackup 9 further reinforces Veritas’ focus on abstracting the complexity of enterprise IT. NetBackup streamlines management of the most dynamic environments through orchestrated automation of discovery, protection, and recovery. This latest release adds:
· Advanced, policy-driven automation to manage all aspects of deployment, provisioning, scaling, load-balancing, cloud integration and recovery operations.
· Auto discovery of workloads to accelerate time-to-value for data protection services, eliminate gaps in protection and reduce risk.
· API-first focus that expands and deepens integrations into enterprises existing toolchains and cloud-based workflows.
· Simplified enterprise data protection for mission-critical OpenStack environments.
Ashish Nadkarni, Group Vice President at IDC, said: “Enterprises are looking to modernise their data centre operations through private and hybrid clouds, and this extends to scale-out architectural approaches. NetBackup 9 is designed to help customers standardise data protection across their environment, implementing operational simplicity regardless of workload, cloud or deployment model. With Veritas’ heritage of providing enterprise-class data protection, enterprises can now consume software-defined NetBackup in the cloud, as BYOS and purpose-built appliances, and now in a new, hyperconverged scale-out deployment mode – giving customers the breadth of diverse workload coverage – all from a single platform.”
NetBackup 9 also includes new features to simplify enterprise data protection for mission-critical OpenStack environments. Utilising OpenStack native APIs, NetBackup 9 delivers seamless integration, multi-tenant controls, and intuitive self-service management. In addition to offering scalability and performance benefits, NetBackup 9 can dramatically reduce costs and the burden of administrative management while ensuring high-performance backup and recovery operations for OpenStack, both on-premise and in public clouds.
