Symantec has introduced Symantec NetBackup 7.5 and Backup Exec 2012 to help businesses of any size transform and modernise their outdated, complex and resource-intensive backup strategy.
The security firm is also announcing an agreement with NetApp to resell the new NetBackup Replication Director option, enabling customers to unify Snapshot and replication management within NetBackup, and remove the cost and risk associated with multiple backup and recovery tools.
NetBackup 7.5 is said to increase backup speeds up to 100 times, improve the ability to recover and make it possible to integrate NetApp Snapshots with backup.
It also simplifies the search and recovery of files for legal holds, the security firm said.
Backup Exec 2012 is also VMware Ready Data Protection certified for vSphere 5.0. This certification includes support for new features in vSphere 5.0 including the Hardware Version 8 format of virtual machines, datastore clusters, vSphere Storage DRS and Storage vMotion.
Symantec Information Management Group senior vice-president Deepak Mohan said the company is committed to provide businesses with the tools to manage their information now and as the explosion in data continues.
"With NetBackup 7.5 and Backup Exec 2012, we are leading the way in the fight against complex and time consuming processes and mitigate the risk of data loss," said Mohan.
