Announcing new data protection for a multi-cloud world
Protecting your business data is a number one priority—or at least it should be. But, as you work towards digital transformation, the traditional backup approaches can’t keep up with the pace of change, multiple clouds, and new business demands. Veritas CloudPoint is changing all of that.
It’s Time to Design Protection for the Future, Today
Organisations throughout EMEA often view backup and recovery as a necessity; they do not appear to support productivity, drive growth or increase profitability. This perception is understandable given the number of products in the marketplace that simply address backup and recovery alone. Narrow capabilities that do not even cater to all areas of the infrastructure have a tendency to worsen complexity and increase costs rather than the opposite outcome that IT teams strive for. This narrow set of capabilities is also detrimental to the wider IT infrastructure as businesses look to modernize infrastructure and make better use of their information. Industry analysts support the premise that three information challenges drive technology decisions[1]: Extending virtual and cloud Keeping pace with data growth Reducing cost and complexity The broad set of capabilities delivered in Backup Exec 15 brings value to business beyond recovery of information. Supporting and enabling the extension of IT infrastructure ever-further into the latest technology leverages the benefits that virtual and cloud infrastructures bring. Making use of this single touch point to manage the increasing volumes of data and the recovery demands imposed not only helps IT to make the best decisions but also to put more into productive, innovative activities.

Google Cloud Storage vs Amazon S3 as Cloud Storage for Backup Exec 15
Now Backup Exec is offering the new cloud connectors to be able to send the backups into public cloud storage. The current offering is with Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage. So this article is to find out a bit more about which one can be more convinient for which type of customers.It’s Time to Extend Your Virtual and Cloud Infrastructures
Well understood as drivers of change in IT departments throughout EMEA with an adoption rate for server virtualization of 79% and cloud adoption of 56%[1] these two continue to proliferate messages of cost benefits and simplification. Perhaps we consider cloud as ‘virtual that somebody else does for me’ and gain a better understanding of the nature of where information is stored. Whilst the adoption of public cloud storage for backup in EMEA remains well behind adoption of web hosting, email hosting, content filtering and productivity solutions it does demand a new level of flexibility in planning information protection for both the short and longer term futures. We find ourselves moving rapidly from static, largely on-premise, physical infrastructures that are designed and built to last for a number of years, to infrastructures which are specifically designed to account for and embrace change across a wide variety of platforms, technologies and delivery mechanisms: physical, virtual and cloud. IT infrastructure is no longer built to last, but built to change across a combination of virtual, physical and cloud. You can take confidence in Backup Exec 15’s breadth and depth of integrated capabilities and have the flexibility to make business-centric decisions for IT, safe in the knowledge that information is protected and recoverable whatever your platform or technology. It’s Time for backup and recovery that enables choice. It’s Time for Backup Exec 15. Join the conversation #ItsTimeForBE15 [1] Spiceworks “State of IT” Report, January 2015
