SAN JOSE, Calif., April 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Helping the world
harness the power of data, Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:
WDC) and Veritas Technologies, today announced that the HGST Active
Archive System is now certified with Veritas NetBackup™ enterprise
data protection software. The combined solution, through native
configuration and management, delivers massive object store
capacity scaling and reduced backup complexity via an economical
private cloud. Enterprise users can cut administrative costs and
infrastructure overhead, including the high costs associated with
tape management, tape rotation and offsite storage and
retrievals.
"The HGST Active Archive System and Veritas NetBackup solution
allows customers to protect any workload, and deliver an optimized,
scalable, and easy-to-manage storage solution to meet customer data
SLAs," said Brian Greene, senior
director, NBU Product Management at Veritas. "As the sheer volume
of data continues to increase, companies have to protect their data
and drive down costs. Pairing our technology with HGST, one of the
first object storage platforms to be certified by Veritas, the HGST
Active Archive System enables customers to deploy a private cloud
solution in a short period of time. The combined solution not only
can reduce complexity, it allows more data to affordably remain on
disk over the long-term where businesses can more quickly capture
its value."
WDC's HGST Active Archive System is an easy-to-deploy, Amazon
S3®-compliant, scale-out object storage solution with the ability
to scale from 672 terabytes (TB) to 28 petabytes (PB) of usable
capacity. Leveraging enterprise-class HelioSeal® helium-filled disk
drive technology and end-to-end optimization of software and
hardware, the system provides the industry's best capacity,
density, and TCO that rivals the economics of traditional tape and
cloud infrastructures. Utilizing distributed erasure coding, it is
capable of surviving an entire data center outage, maintaining a
global consistent view and data accessibility from any
location.
"Veritas NetBackup certification is a cornerstone to our backup
and archive solutions strategy. With native HGST Active Archive
System integration, a private cloud solution is now available that
delivers the TCO and resiliency of public cloud backup," said
Barbara Murphy, vice president of
marketing at WDC. "By working together, HGST and Veritas are
delivering leading infrastructure that solves the backup challenge
while still keeping data available and online."
