Veritas Software has introduced Veritas Powered, a strategic initiative to extend Veritas Software`s storage intelligence to new networking hardware platforms. Launched with broad support from established and emerging hardware partners, Veritas Powered will create a wide range of next-generation storage networking products that address customer demand for efficient, reliable and centrally managed storage.
Veritas Powered is also a key component of the Veritas Adaptive Software Architecture a new software and services model designed to reduce data centre complexity and improve IT responsiveness to changes in business and technology.
As John Poulter, regional director: emerging territories at Veritas Software explains, new storage networking technologies allow storage software intelligence to reside outside traditional hardware servers and disk arrays and within a wide variety of devices, including switches, routers, appliances and network-attached storage (NAS) subsystems. "Together with Verita`s Powered partners, we are optimising our proven server-based data protection, NAS and storage infrastructure products for these emerging platforms."
The new storage networking solutions will give companies the flexibility to migrate to new topologies and hardware platforms, while continuing to benefit from the interoperable Veritas storage software they use today. Veritas Powered solutions will be integrated with traditional Veritas server-based software to enable a consistent, seamless customer experience. This ensures that companies can simplify their storage management processes while embracing new innovations in storage technology.
The programme has been endorsed by a broad range of storage networking hardware partners who share the vision of enabling storage intelligence in the network. These partners include 3PARdata, Aarohi, Adaptec, Archway Digital, BigSur Communications, Cisco, Emulex, INRANGE, iVivity, JNI, Maranti Networks, MaXXan, McDATA, NEC, Pirus Networks, QLogic, Rhapsody Networks, Troika Networks and XIOtech. Once Veritas Software technology has been incorporated into a partner`s storage solution, the partner can leverage the Veritas brand and reputation for quality by featuring the "Veritas Powered" logo.
"Extending storage intelligence into the network opens up exciting new market opportunities for Veritas Software and its hardware partners, something which is an area of strategic focus for the company," comments Poulter. "More than eighty percent of the Fortune 500 rely on Veritas Software for cross-platform storage software today. Veritas Powered provides assurance that the same trusted software, with the same industry-leading capabilities, will also be available on these emerging platforms."
