Building a better data protection strategy means software and people (page 2 of 2)

Whether you simply need backup software or the mirroring or replication of data to hard disk, clustering and global data management, VERITAS Software's solutions keep businesses of all sizes up and running, providing the optimum performance, high availability, and data protection essential for all data servers.

VERITAS' availability and protection solutions grow with you. Whether organically or by acquisition, VERITAS software can scale solutions for all major environments, applications, databases, or messaging systems
VERITAS is bringing data protection and storage management to the environment for the most demanding customers. It's not just the data at corporate headquarters that is crucial to keeping the business running.

Local offices, where there are often no IT trained staff available, also need to backup data and restore files. Centralised management (with Global Data Manager) and control of the backup process is an important consideration, because having fully trained IT personnel at every remote location is cost-prohibitive. Trained IT staff are then only required at corporate offices. The administration of both backup and recovery can take place remotely while managing and implementing corporate disaster recovery, high availability and data protection strategies from a central location.

And, therefore, a worldwide corporate data protection plan can now be realised by mirroring or replicating data changes to a central corporate backup library.
In the vast majority of instances the need for data recovery are caused not by disasters, but by simple everyday problems. The unintentional deletion of a file, data corruption, or the failure of a disk drive are far more likely to need data to be restored than some cataclysmic event.

To ensure that organisations are able to recover data quickly they need backup 24x7 with local and worldwide solutions. VERITAS' solutions are designed to integrate into an organisation's infrastructure to build a total data protection solution from one vendor.

This means that the costs associated with building a total multi backup solution are minimised as managers can choose which information is most critical and under what circumstances a full recovery is required. The most critical data can be stored for immediate access, while less critical data can be migrated to tape. Because your data is your business' most essential tool, your IT managers must meet demands for the availability of vastly increased data in less time, and with dwindling resources. VERITAS addresses this challenge with data management solutions tailored to meet the needs of the most demanding environments.

Let's face it; businesses today require a high level of protection:

• Continuous backup - Volume Replicator, Volume Manager

• Incremental change-only backup - Backup Exec, NetBackup, NetBackup Pro

• Data migration for the management of increasing levels of data - Storage Migrator

• Fast retrieval of required data - File System & FlashSnap

• Controllable networking costs that provide scalable options - Volume Manager, File System, Foundation Suite, Database Editions

• Central data management - Global Data manager

• Storage vaulting support for efficient point-in-time restoration - Netbackup 4.5

• Online replication of most recent and most active data - Volume Replicator

VERITAS has always taken the lead in data protection, building technologies to deal with the paradigm shift in business models over the last few years. VERITAS products not only provide revolutionary advances in data protection, but also simultaneously support high availability and disaster recovery strategies. Our solutions are the business norm for the business models of today and the future.
