Veritas chasing hyper-automation with NetBackup 10 Blocks and Files – Blocks and Files

Veritas has launched v10.0 of its NetBackup data protection product along with an Autonomous Data Management strategy.

It says Veritas is planning for a future where its technology is able to provision, optimise and repair data management services autonomously, with users self-servicing data protection and recovery. This will be based on so-called CloudScale Technology, which harnesses artificial intelligence (AI) and hyper-automation Veritass term to self-provision, self-optimise, and self-heal in web-scale multi-cloud environments.

CEO Greg Hughes issued a statement: Hackers are increasing the impact of their ransomware attacks by targeting cloud services and data. Veritas is laying out its strategy for how we solve that challenge for our customers, starting with tools, available today, that will help to reduce cloud footprint and costs, keep data safe from ransomware, and pave the way to Autonomous Data Management.

We are told Cloud Scale Technologyenables a containerised, programmable, and AI-powered microservices architecture that provides autonomous unified data management services across any cloud.

Coming a year after v9.0, NetBackup v10 features:

A Conquer Every Cloud micro-website contains more information.

Veritass strategy is to respond to customers growing use of more applications in multiple cloud environments and of more cloud-native applications and SaaS apps by extending NetBackups data protection services across these environments and so provide a single comprehensive backup capability. This will be easier to manage because it will have a degree of autonomy with AI-triggered malware scanning,an IT estate-wide protection view, and self-scaling and -healing features.

Private equity-owned Veritas has to show that it can sustain itself and grow against competition from Commvault, Veeam, Cohesity, Druva, HYCU and Rubrik. V10 should help it retain its existing customers and even gain some new ones but it wont enable Veritas to damage its competitors much. The main name of the game is inroad prevention, not invade and conquer.
