Shipping with VERITAS Backup Exec
VERITAS Software (Nasdaq: VRTS) announced the first integrated backup and recovery solution for “Windows Powered” server appliances, including network attached storage (NAS) appliances used by companies to manage the business-critical information contained in large, file-sharing applications.
VERITAS Backup Exec? for Windows Powered Server Appliances is the first data protection solution to leverage the Web-based management user interface (UI) in Windows Powered server appliances, resulting in an easy-to-use backup and recovery solution. Dell will be the first company to integrate this new edition of VERITAS Backup Exec with its PowerVault NAS servers.
“Windows-based NAS devices are taking the market by storm. They are inexpensive, easy to install and easy to manage, but they need a solid backup and recovery product to be a complete solution,” said Arun Taneja, senior analyst, Enterprise Storage Group. “With the support of VERITAS Backup Exec, the customer gets a premier backup solution optimized for the NAS environment.”
The incorporation of VERITAS Backup Exec into the Web-based management UI in Windows Powered devices makes it easier and quicker to deploy and manage self-contained data protection solutions for Windows Powered server appliances, including NAS devices. The UI framework enables administrators to easily back up and recover NAS data via high-performance disk, direct attached tape devices, or even shared tape devices deployed within a storage area network (SAN), all from a centralized console.
“Our customers demand scalable storage solutions that are reliable and provide the highest data integrity,” said Keith White, senior director of marketing for the Embedded and Appliance Platforms Group at Microsoft Corp. “The combination of Windows 2000 with the Server Appliance Kit and VERITAS Backup Exec software meets the needs of our customers and is a great example of how data protection technologies can be easily incorporated into the extensible Web-based management UI of Windows Powered server appliances.”
“As part of our commitment to our PowerVault NAS products, Dell continues to look for ways to expand the range of NAS solutions we can offer to our customers,” said Brett McAnally, senior manager of PowerVault product management at Dell. “We look forward to offer the Server Appliance edition of VERITAS Backup Exec across our entire PowerVault NAS family to help our customers around the world better consolidate, manage and protect their data”
