Introducing The All-New NetBackup 5330

Customers report a turning point where infrastructure investment ROI is beginning to slow. More than half of typical budgets are consumed by infrastructure spending while headcounts are flat. And yet: data is growing, platforms are fragmenting and uptime expectations are off the charts. So what’s the answer?

We believe it’s the information that matters most. We are indeed at a pivotal point in the industry, where architectures are shifting focus from infrastructure to information. And the NetBackup Appliance is an ideal example of how expertly rethinking traditional backup architecture yields completely new results. Veritas (the planned spinout of Symantec’s Information Management business) will enable organizations to harness the power of their information. Let’s look at how integrated appliances ultimately make information more available through simplicity.

NetBackup integrated appliances are designed from the ground up to protect and manage information, and carry the embedded intelligence of the world’s leading data protection software. This combination of intelligence and storage simplifies everything.

-A single point of management for both storage and protection policies

-Seamless use cases across multiple sites, servers or platforms

-Scale up (to 229TB of usable capacity)

-Embedded industry-leading Veritas Storage Foundation resiliency technologies

-Strong performance both now and into the future.  An independent third party study reports that integrated NetBackup appliance architecture handily beats the legacy or small-scale offerings from Avamar, CommVault and Veeam1.

 

Industry analysts are following this new converged backup architecture with great interest. Integrated appliances are the fastest growing appliance market segment and NetBackup leads that growth, with thousands deployed in the last year and well over ten thousand deployed overall. Customers are enthusiastically adopting this integrated approach because traditional stand-alone point products are iterations of the past. IT investment is shifting to modern approaches that minimize complexity and accommodate the future.

For more technical discussions of the NetBackup 5330’s key capabilities, several recently published blog posts provide more details (here, here and here).
