Veritas Information Map Peers Into Cloud Data
Veritas now has an Amazon S3 connector that gives users visibility into their unstructured data residing in the cloud. The Information Map can help identify the risk.
Veritas Technologies is adding tools that address data visibility and migration challenges in multicloud environments as the company continues to build upon its separation from Symantec.
The Mountain View, California company last week updated its Veritas Information Map with an S3 connector that gives users visibility into their unstructured data residing in the Amazon cloud. The Information Map visualization tool helps identify risk, waste, and complicated migration paths between clouds.
Previously, Information Map only provided visibility of data protected by Veritas NetBackup software.
"This is the first time we have announced a new data source that is not part of Veritas' portfolio," said Alex Sakaguchi, senior director of global solutions for cloud solutions at Veritas. "Customers can now get a view of their data even if NetBackup does not touch them. In a sense, it was a limitation because the data had to be backed up through NetBackup.
"So now with the S3 Connector, you can get a visual of your data from an extra data source as long as it exists in an S3 cube," he said.
Sakaguchi said Veritas will add additional connectors beyond S3 this year.
Beyond Backup in Administration and Migration
Jason Buffington, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), said Veritas Information Map is a key tool to address regulatory compliance. This can be especially valuable with the approaching deadline of 2018 to comply with the guidelines of the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (GDPR).
"The broader story of Veritas is managing the data," Buffington said. "It's about managing your data and you can not manage what you can not see, you can not manage it if you do not know where it is [Veritas Information Map] can help with any regulation." Many people are trying to get their heads around [now]. "
Veritas CloudMobility's new automation tool enables enterprises to migrate complex workloads from their data center to the cloud and, if necessary, back to a local cloud with a single click. CloudMobility connects a product site to a standby site.
"We developed this migration capability of Veritas Resiliency Platform technology," Sakaguchi said. "The product allows users to do a pre-migration test and can also support the infrastructure in a just-in-time manner."
Veritas also added CloudPoint snapshot data protection for more aggressive data recovery goals. CloudPoint manages snapshots while implementing consistent data protection policies in a multicloud environment. This product moves Veritas beyond the traditional backup with its well-known NetBackup and Backup Exec software. Replication Director in NetBackup does not allow the administration of snapshots between clouds and multivendor products.
"CloudPoint adds the management of all shadow copy providers," Sakaguchi said. "Then we add a cataloging and indexing layer of snapshots, which is the piece of data protection based on snapshots."
With updates from Veritas Information Map and other new capabilities, ESG's Buffington said the company is moving quickly toward its goal of becoming a data management provider.
"I know it's okay to say they're evolutionary," he said. "At first glance, they seem incremental ... [but] this is a little boost."

$100M Startup Winning In $50B Industry At Expense Of EMC, Commvault And Veritas

Startups have little chance of surviving. So why would a large company take the risk of being stranded when buying one's products?
An example of this is Rubrik, a manufacturer of data backup and recovery software based in Palo Alto, California. It is growing so fast that in six quarters since it began selling its product, its private market value soared to $ 1.3 billion, as it won customers from huge incumbents in a $ 50 billion market.
In Rubrik's case, the answer to my question is simple: it offers customers much more money than rivals (I call it a quantum leap). And I have found in many industries - including identity management software, DevOps, application performance monitoring, copy data management and hyperconversion infrastructure (HCI) - that startups are able to offer customers a QVL because the headlines They leave their large bellies exposed due to internally-imposed mandates that offer customers less benefit at a higher price.
The clearest example I've seen of this is at IBM where acquisitions are a substitute for the development of new products and internal policies require IBM to offer customers an uncomfortable package of products that cost customers more money and work less Effectively than the products offered by startups that focus on offering customers the best solution at a lower price.
This comes to mind when considering why Rubrik was able to raise $ 180 million in a D series last month - for a total of $ 292 million in capital in four rounds - at a valuation of $ 1.3 billion. Bipul Sinha explained to me in a conversation on May 1: "We were founded in January 2014 and started selling our product six quarters ago, and since then we have achieved an execution rate of 100 million dollars and we are so efficient that we have not Touched The $ 61 million we took from Vinod Khosla in our C Series round. "
Previously, Sinha was Oracle's manager, working on its core database and from there a partner of venture capital firm Lightspeed, where he liked to put "first money" in companies - such as Nutanix - which was published in September Spent at $ 39 a share and now trades at $ 14.46 only.
Thinking about Nutanix, Sinha made an observation about which Rubrik was built. "[The HCI leader] Nutanix was expanding the distributed systems, but practically nothing happened in the backup and recovery. Also, in 2011 I realized that the cloud would be used by the developers and the company. A company sending data back and forth from the cloud, Rubrik could be this data control aircraft, "Sinha said.
Rubrik has built cloud-compatible backup and recovery software to replace old EMC products from Dell Technologies and Veritas from Carlyle Group in a $ 50 billion market. Rubrik's software can run directly on Amazon's AWS and Microsoft's Azure so customers can use Rubrik to catalog and back up their data on their own computer systems.
This combined approach is valuable to customers and they are buying because they can not get this benefit from the headlines and it saves them money. As Sinha explained, "Customers like the simplicity of a native cloud platform, so they do not need to hire backup and recovery specialists to operate our service, run on Amazon and Azure and premier. EMC execution, which requires the purchase of new hardware and software - from 20% to 50% In addition, our product is designed to minimize the use of platforms like AWS - by automating its service catalogs - to keep costs lower , Products are not.
