Disaster Recovery Survey
DLamorena | 31 Jan 2011 | 0 comments

The sixth annual Symantec Disaster Recovery Study demonstrates the challenges that data center managers have in managing disparate virtual, physical and cloud resources. These ever-changing resources add complexity for organizations protecting and recovering mission-critical applications and data. In fact, the data found virtual machines are not properly protected due to resource and other storage constraints that hamper backups.

Check out the 2010 Symantec Disaster Recovery Study.

Why settle for good when you can build great products? VMware and Symantec partnership on application-aware high availability
saveen pakala | 16 Aug 2010 | 0 comments

Building great products is never an accident. Often the difference between good and great products is not the coolest technology or the meanest performing gadget. It is its laser focus on addressing a pressing customer challenge as quickly as possible with the best of breed technologies.

VMware and Symantec have been working feverishly as one team in doing just that over the past few months in addressing a significant customer challenge around application-aware high availability.

Both companies had individually heard from their respective (and often overlapping) customers about the need for application level visibility, control, and high availability in VMware ecosystem. Lack of a good solution that addresses this need had been preventing customers from bringing virtualization benefits to business critical tier1 application – a significant challenge impacting customers’ virtualization initiatives.

It just took one 30 minute conference call between...

Make your storage solution fit into your Desktop Virtualization Strategy
DLamorena | 26 Aug 2010 | 4 comments

Server virtualization and storage virtualization is a vehicle that many companies have adopted as the leading strategy to help them accomplish more with less resources. At the endpoints, desktop virtualization is also turning corners now and CIOs are building strategies around centralizing data, applications and desktop operating systems, while realizing that the savings span across multiple lines of business. However, there are many challenges associated with virtual desktop environments, which is why today we are announcing Symantec VirtualStore.

No one will argue that desktop virtualization comes with a significant upfront investment, but the clear goal is to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) per employee.
With a centrally hosted desktop solution, IT administrators can:

  • Reduce data loss due to downtime or lost disks.
  • Reduce administrative overhead of maintaining 1000s of desktops.
  • Reduce OPEX helpdesk costs
  • Increase...

Make your storage solution cost effective for the VMware ecosystem
Fahima | 26 Aug 2010 | 1 comment

In an attempt to meet the rapid changes and  quick growth of IT environments, many organizations have responded by consolidating data centers and infrastructure. A major focus is to create a more agile and efficient data center by closely aligning infrastructure and the applications they support in a way that provides significant ROI. Server virtualization is one way of doing this with its ability to enable organizations to reduce capital expenses and operating costs while providing higher service levels. That is why today we are announcing Symantec VirtualStore.

Server virtualizations come its own challenges, most notably storage management for ESX environments. While a majority of VMware ESX servers connect to their datastores using either Fiber Channel or iSCSI, NFS for VMware has squashed many associated myths related to performance and scalability and is now a very popular protocol for ESX servers.

To solve the storage challenges associated with server...
