Feature Pack 1 for Backup Exec 15 delivers improved performance, intelligent backups and enhanced platform support
Hot on the heels of Backup Exec 15 we are excited to announce the availability of Feature Pack 1 (FP1) for Backup Exec 15. Feature packs build on the core strengths of Backup Exec by addressing the top customer needs for hybrid environments and mark the transition away from major releases into a more continuous delivery model.Backup Exec Feature Pack 5 from a Management Perspective
On August 2nd, Veritas released Feature Pack 5 for Backup Exec introducing a new technology called “Instant Recovery”. This technology allows administrators to stand up a virtual machine directly from a backup taken with Backup Exec. There are quite a lot articles on the Web that describe that feature and its benefits from a technical point of view. But how can it help companies from a financial and/or management perspective? Every company has to save costs and IT budgets are often one of the first to be cut down. Especially when it comes to setting up a test environment, many IT departments are kept on a short leash. Nevertheless, business continuity and disaster recovery possibilities are in everyone’s mind.
Veritas NetBackup Same-Day Support for VMware vSphere 6 Demonstrates A New, Agile Business
I am very pleased to announce that both NetBackup and Backup Exec are VMware vSphere 6 Ready on their first dates of general availability. Interested customers can read more about the April release of Backup Exec 15 here (http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/backup-exec-15-beta-registration-now-open), more about the just-released NetBackup 7.6.1.1here,and may plan rollouts knowing they have a backup solution in place for cutting edge virtual environments. We will continue to enhance our vSphere 6 capabilities in NetBackup 7.7 later this year. Over the past year we’ve talked a lot about the importance of agility in driving business success, and how the Information Management solutions we provide can help IT accelerate business value. What we haven’t talked as much about is the agile transformation we have undertaken within our own business. A year ago, we began transitioning our engineering processes to an Agile development model. Business process transformations are never easy, but as this announcement shows, our investments are paying off as we deliver support of new workloads well within our 90-day commitment. We are excited to continue on our transformation journey to accelerate capabilities to market and offer even more business value to you as the new Veritas. We understand that our backup and recovery solutions enable you to provide increased information access, business agility, and risk management as you enable your business to keep ahead of market demands. Our team is committed to helping you move faster and take bigger risks knowing your information will be safe. The more agile we are, the more agile you can be. Are you ready to deploy vSphere 6? Go ahead – we’re ready when you are. Ana Pinczuk SVP, Backup & Recovery Symantec Corporation
