Symantec Introduces Integrated Backup And Deduplication Appliances In India

Symantec has introduced in India its backup appliances, NetBackup 5220 and Backup Exec 3600, which include the latest NetBackup 7.5 and Backup Exec 2012 software from Symantec announced earlier this year.

Symantec’s backup appliances deliver an end-to-end integrated backup appliance for servers, storage, and software. Gone are the days of extreme systems engineering where it was the customer’s responsibility to make all of their backup solutions work together.

“Earlier this year, we announced our new approach to delivering better backup to our customers, introducing ground-breaking new features to replace outdated and complicated approaches. Beyond features, we are changing the market with technologies like our purpose-built appliances that combine backup software, servers, storage and deduplication in a single solution – a key part of our strategy to drive complexity and costs out of the backup market,” said Anand Naik, Managing Director – Sales, India and SAARC, Symantec. “Both our Backup Exec and NetBackup appliances provide customers with an all-in-one platform that centralises backup for physical and virtual environments and maximises performance with end-to-end deduplication – all on a pre-configured device supported by Symantec.”

While many solutions require the IT team to integrate multiple solutions for tape, disk, dedupe, physical, virtual snapshots and backup, Symantec appliances are typically installed in less than 30 minutes and deliver integrated hardware, software and dedupe storage, providing customers with simplicity and performance from one vendor. The NetBackup 5220 and Backup Exec 3600 are a modern approach to backup for organisations of any size.
