Bangkok--Aug 7--Penner-Madison
VERITAS Software Corporation, the world's leading storage software company, today announced that it is committed to deliver industry-leading storage solutions through innovative software technologies and services in Thailand. Eric Hoh, Regional Director, VERITAS Software Asia South, unveiled the company's strategy for growth at VERITAS Storage Symposium 2002 Thailand, the largest storage industry gathering of VERITAS Software's customers and technology partners.
Changing business priorities have resulted in the need for organizations to discover new ways of improving the effectiveness of people and assets while delivering improved service levels. At the same time, complex environments and rigid technologies impede companies' ability to adapt to business change and incorporate new vendors or technology innovations.
Hoh explains, "In order to remain competitive in the global marketplace, Thai corporations have to be adaptive and responsive to market shifts. An interoperable, cross-platform and resilient software-centric architecture can simplify today's IT environment and provide the flexibility required to adapt quickly while effectively leveraging current and future resources. Interoperability, resiliency, and efficiency are the three keystones of effective storage management, and VERITAS Software's Adaptive Storage Architecture provides common, integrated, and extensible solutions by offering a single platform for managing disparate platforms and hardware devices.''
"Furthermore, with our industry wide partner programs - VERITAS Powered and VERITAS Enabled - we are uniquely positioned to deliver a wide range of next-generation storage networking products that address customer demands for efficient, reliable and centrally managed storage. We are confident that we can help companies establish heterogeneous storage environments that are easier to manage, more reliable and more adaptive to changing business requirements than today's increasingly complex storage infrastructures," Hoh continued.
Industry analysts Gartner and IDC have recognized VERITAS Software as the leader in the backup and recovery, clustering and availability, and volume management/virtualization markets. "VERITAS Software's leadership within all major storage software markets is a testament to the strength of our technology, services and support. We are committed to the Thai market and will continue to innovate and deliver products and services that will help our customers better manage, access and utilize their business-critical information. The VERITAS Storage Symposium 2002 Thailand is an excellent example of how VERITAS is taking the lead in the storage software arena, " he added.
"As companies increasingly look to storage software to more efficiently utilize their hardware and people resources, VERITAS Software is already defining the future of storage by allowing companies to architect their storage with innovative software technologies and services. VERITAS Software enables organizations to do more with less and simplify their complex IT environments-something that is essential in a challenging economy," Hoh concluded.
The VERITAS Storage Symposium 2002 Thailand showcases the latest in storage technology, innovations, architecture and solutions all in one place. VERITAS Software, together with participating partners Brocade, Hitachi Data Systems, IBM, Sun Microsystems, Quantum and Exabyte explore new ways of managing storage to meet the challenges of technology and business.
