NetBackup9 customers wanted developer Veritas Technologies to develop a new tool for those "Operating demanding multicloud data centers with heterogeneous environments that require a data protection platform without compromise," and today Veritas announced its new NetBackup Flex Scale.
NetBackup 9, Seidman said, "Is part of our enterprise data services platform around availability, protection, and insights, making sure applications and data are always available, that their data is always protected and recoverable. From an insight standpoint, that's how we provide our customers with the ability to have insights into their infrastructure, into their data, into their backup, protection environment and help reduce risk and improve their ROI".
The new deployment option NetBackup Flex Scale "Delivers net backup in a hyper-converged scale-out architecture," Seidman added, the "Capability of our customers to have more flexibility and more choice in deploying the industry-leading data protection technology. They have the ability to deploy it as a scale-up solution, natively in the cloud."
NetBackup Flex Scale "Really focuses down on delivering more levels of operation, operational simplicity, but at the same time, providing that same net backup experience that our customers trust us with, along with the enterprise-grade resiliency to ensure their data is always protected and always available."
Veritas saw the opportunity for NetBackup Flex Scale to "Cross multiple disciplines," yet is a "Best fit"for large enterprises, for customers who have to support large amounts of applications and data and multiple workloads.

Flex Scale provides customers with new capabilities and more choice in how they deploy while "Assuring they've got the right deployment model for the use case workloads we're trying to support."
