Veritas Marches On

1. What -can- you tell us about general plans/directions? What kinds of good stuff is going on in the world of Netbackup?
2. Any plans to directly partner or offer your own cloud storage? Amazon and Google offer super cheap storage. I know we can direct backups to cloud vendors now; just wondering if you'll be working with customers to make it even easier/cheaper.
3. Elephant in the room is Veeam. What do you offer in direct competition with Veeam and why do you think your product is better?
4. Last I checked, the licensing and add-ons and options still seemed to be a mess. In my opinion... the marketing info rarely makes clear that certain options are extra $$$. Are you planning on making it clearer which add-ons and options are extra cost?

• We purchased a Netbackup appliance for a testbed in one of our outer offices and found it to be a very simple solution. The ease of setup allowed us to basically drop it in and start backup for or environment in less than one hour. Also the ability to replicate images using acceleration (AIR) between the outer office to the larger backup environment was a pleasant surprise.

1. Why didn't you capitalize VERITAS? I thought marketing was pretty clear on the branding thing.
2. Are the walls in HRO still awful Lego colors?
3. Shouldn't it be "My voice is my passport?"
4. Has science figured out a way to keep people awake during one of van den Bosch's presentations?
