In Symantec has announced version 6.0 of its storage management and high availability products. With this release, Symantec enables IT organisations to build resilient private clouds by transforming their existing infrastructure.
Organisations can manage business services end-to-end with built-in resiliency, even if the business service is run across multiple virtualisation technologies, operating systems, and storage platforms. This release spans multiple products in Symantecs portfolio including its flagship Veritas Storage Foundation 6.0, Veritas Cluster Server 6.0, and Veritas Operations Manager 4.1, all integrated to help IT organisations move confidently to a private cloud architecture.
Symantecs recent Virtualisation and Evolution to the Cloud Survey found that 43 percent of IT and C-level professionals are less confident about placing mission-critical applications on a private/hybrid cloud due to business requirements for high availability SLAs. This concern extends to their storage environment as well, with 89 percent of respondents selecting reduction in data center complexity as an important goal for deciding to implement private storage-as-a-service.
IT architects appreciate the promise of the private cloud, but beneath the hype they are grappling with very real questions, said Anand Naik, director, Technology Sales (India & SAARC), Symantec. How do I transform my infrastructure to make it more agile?How do I give it the characteristics of a public cloud without compromising on availability and security?
With Symantec, claims a company release, IT organisations can build their own resilient private clouds by tapping into the investments they have already made in their data center. With this release, organisations can:
- Manage business services end-to-end across heterogeneous platforms
- Deploy resilient, elastic storage for cloud workloads
- Reduce the storage footprint through deduplication, compression and thin reclamation
- Use a single pane of glass for intelligent reporting and non-disruptive remediation
