Bangkok--Feb 4--Penner-Madison
There is a definite value shift from storage hardware to storage software and VERITAS Software is at the forefront by offering solutions that transcend diverse server, operating system, storage and network environments for organizations to protect and fully leverage their critical business asset – data.
With the explosive growth of data, businesses are increasingly looking to storage software to assist in the management of their data storage and data availability systems. As storage vendors respond to customers’ needs for greater interoperability and integration, VERITAS’ storage management software will assume a much more prominent role in the heterogeneous storage environment.
“This year will be an exciting year for us at VERITAS Software. We see huge opportunities in Thailand and we look forward to increasing our presence here,” said Eric Hoh, regional director of VERITAS Software Asia South. “There will be significant investments into strengthening the sales, pre-sales and marketing operations and resource; and extending the commitment of distribution channels.
Over the last two years, the Asia South region recorded over 100 per cent revenue growth and Hoh is optimistic about its continual growth in the years to come. “Despite the economic slowdown, we expect organizations’ spending on mission-critical areas such as data storage and protection will still be a priority. We believe advanced storage technology will see the biggest sector growth in the IT market and the demand will continue to grow,” he added.
According to research firm IDC, IT revenues from Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) are expected to grow 13.5% in 2002 while data storage falls under the highest growth area and is expected to hit 76% growth rate.
