Veritas NetBackup With Support for Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access
With version 7.7.1 upgrade that provides enterprise with expanded backup and recovery choice
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on October 15, 2015 at 2:53 pmVeritas Technologies LLC announced that NetBackup, an enterprise data protection solution, will provide full support for Amazon Simple Storage Service Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA).
A NetBackup 7.7.1 upgrade will provide enterprise businesses with an expanded backup and recovery choice for Amazon Web Services (AWS), and is the latest example of Veritas’ dedication to public and hybrid cloud architectures.
In September, AWS, a global leader in cloud computing services, announced its new S3 Standard-IA storage service. This offering provides customers with a new and easy method to archive data, and provides fast service levels. NetBackup 7.7.1 provides backup and recovery integration, offering current AWS customers high service levels for the recovery of archived data on AWS.
“Enterprise businesses are interested in a hybrid cloud architecture to combine the increased agility and cost effectiveness of the cloud with the control that on-premises solutions have over key IT business services,” said Ana Pinczuk, SVP and GM, backup and recovery, Veritas. “The Veritas NetBackup 7.7.1 update provides data visibility and management across hybrid architectures that include AWS, reducing the risk of data loss, simplifying recovery, and helping accelerate the adoption of cloud services.“
“As organizations of all sizes look to migrate their data to AWS to take advantage of the flexibility and cost savings of the cloud, it is critical to ensure information is backed up and available across multiple platforms,” said Bill Vass, VP, AWS storage services, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Veritas integration with Amazon S3 Standard-IA provides customers with an enterprise backup and recovery solution for their migration to AWS.“
