Veritas NetBackup - Flex Appliance - Protect and Manage Your Data

Veritas NetBackup Flex Appliance

Veritas NetBackup is a long-established platform and the market leader in enterprise data backup and recovery software. The platform is designed specifically to protect complex, large multi-cloud environments and data centre infrastructures. NetBackup also offers a range of capabilities for virtualized and cloud-based deployments that go beyond what traditional backup applications can provide, and it supports both new and older technologies.

As deployments grow they start to use different platforms, applications and infrastructures, and managing those complex structures becomes increasingly difficult. At exactly that point you need not just backup software but a backup platform, and Veritas NetBackup answers that need perfectly. By making it possible to manage complex infrastructures from a single screen, NetBackup offers a platform rather than merely a backup product.

NetBackup works in an integrated way with virtual systems including the leading hypervisors: VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Red Hat Virtualization, Docker, Azure Stack and OpenStack.

Because NetBackup can grant role-based administrative privileges to the administrators of different platforms, they can schedule backups of their own environments and perform restores themselves. That allows workflows to be managed faster and action to be taken more quickly during incident management.
