With the launch of NetBackup 8.3, the company empowers enterprise customers by improving the resiliency of their applications and infrastructure regardless of the context. By extending the core of EDSP – NetBackup – to include the Veritas Resiliency Platform (VRP) and CloudPoint, the firm delivers a single platform with enterprise resiliency features and functionality to protect and recover data wherever it resides.

As global enterprises accelerate digital transformation to support a remote workforce at scale and seek to reduce costs in the face of economic headwinds, IT resiliency and efficiency are more critical. With NetBackup 8.3, organizations can reduce the risk and impact of system downtime, avoid disparate workload-specific point products and realize cost savings by standardizing on a single platform across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

“Scale, flexibility and simplicity are continuing to drive up cloud adoption,” said Christophe Bertrand, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. “While the benefits of these multi-cloud strategies are well established, they also bring data protection challenges as multiple point products can increase risk and operational complexity. Businesses can simplify the backup and recovery challenge by standardizing on a single platform.“

NetBackup software’s innovations bring benefits to enterprise customers, including:

• Strengthened ransomware resiliency with security, protection, and recovery improvements

  • • Security and protection improvements

    • Expanded ransomware protection with hardened NetBackup appliances and vendor-agnostic immutability for storage utilizing NetBackup OpenStorage Technology (OST)

    • Secure infrastructure supporting 2,048b encryption and integration with third party key management systems (EKMS) giving customers choice

    • Role-based access control (RBAC) enhancements that provide flexibility and simplify role management

• Recovery improvements

  • • Added resiliency through granular recovery of VMs with near-zero RPO and efficient RTO thanks to CDP

    • Orchestrated rehearsals with zero production impact to verify the efficiency and effectiveness of recovery procedures

• Cloud-native data protection for all leading platforms

    • Expanded cloud-to-anywhere-including Azure Stack to Azure Stack and Azure region-to-region-with push button orchestrated DR using resiliency platform integration

• • • Workload and data portability in hybrid and multi-cloud, with both to-the-cloud and between-cloud storage tiers

• Expanded and simplified single platform for resiliency across your environment

  • • Elimination of siloed management tools with the expansion of EDSP to include cloud protection, workload migration and DR across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments

    • Maximized storage efficiency, reduced bandwidth requirements, and consolidated infrastructure costs with direct-to-cloud tiering, enabling management of data in multiple buckets, storage tiers, and cloud environments from a single node with NetBackup CloudCatalyst

    • Storage cost optimization with integrated management and reporting, including expanded coverage for workloads, policy and storage management, and enhanced infrastructure visibility from Veritas Aptare IT Analytics

• Enhanced workload support featuring performance improvements and increased operational simplicity

  • • 50x faster discovery for VMware vCenter and vCloud, reducing discovery time from hours to minutes for large environments

    • 25% faster dynamic NAS data protection via auto-discovery of resources and load balancing with the ability to restore data anywhere on any NetBackup target, removing vendor lock-in

    • Control of discovery, backup, restore, and automation at scale for SQL, Oracle, and Oracle Real Application Clusters to simplify management
