AST is offering SA ESM customers dynamic end-to-end storage management solutions

AST Enterprise Systems Management, a division of the AST Group, has announced that Veritas Software has earned a second place ranking by Forbes ASAP in the software category of the magazine`s annual "Dynamic 100" list of America`s top technology companies. Veritas is a leading provider of end-to-end storage management solutions.

"A large part of Veritas` success is that they continue to lead the storage management industry in the areas of superior technology, strategic partnerships, breadth of sales channels and customer-focused service and technical support," says Martyn Healy, MD of AST ESM, SA distributors for BMC.

"It was stated that some 90% of Unix users own Veritas software which protects data from systems failure and file corruption," adds Healy. "It was also mentioned that the Veritas` acquisition of Seagate`s Network and Storage Management Group will strengthen Veritas` position in the Windows NT market."

Forbes ASAP compiles its list of the most dynamic technology companies by performing extensive interviews with industry insiders and experts, and scoring companies on a range of factors, such as 1998 stock performance, market opportunity and prospects for growth. Veritas was just 0.5 below the company rated first in the software category of Forbes ASAP`s Annual "Dynamic 100" company list.

"This year`s second place ranking affirms that Veritas` focus on meeting the increasing enterprise storage management needs of today`s Global 2000 companies has been successful," concludes Healy. "It also confirms that we offer our customers only the best products."
