New Release: Get the Private Cloud you Want From the Infrastructure You’ve Got
Symantec today announced a major refresh to its Storage and Availability Management portfolio to help customers build the private cloud they want by transforming their existing infrastructure. Symantec’s high availability solutions will enable users to architect resilient private clouds with fast local or global recovery of complete business services and data replication across any distance to meet their recovery time/point objectives. Symantec can orchestrate the recovery of a business service, even if its components (various databases, application servers, and web servers) run on different operating systems or virtualization technologies.
As more IT organizations move to the cloud, Symantec’s new storage management offerings will also help IT organizations manage and deliver elastic, resilient storage for cloud workloads by providing the ability to scale storage capacity up or down while applications remain online and reducing the storage footprint through deduplication, compression, and thin reclamation for primary storage.
Symantec’s storage and availability solutions can be managed from a centralized console that provides complete visibility and interactive control of the infrastructure resources. The console also includes chargeback capabilities that keep business users accountable for the services and resources they consume.
This portfolio update includes new product versions of: Veritas Storage Foundation 6.0, Veritas Cluster Server 6.0 and Veritas Operations Manager 4.1. With these combined offerings, IT organizations do not need to purchase new hardware assets to implement cloud services for their business users; instead, they can use their existing infrastructure, saving money and time.
The following is the complete list of product updates to Symantec’s refreshed storage and availability management portfolio:

For security purposes we have to update cloud servers in our various disperate offices many times a day through secure connection. As you might imagine this slows down an already laborious process. Improvements in replicator will surely help lessen the load.
