Veritas and Datastor take on NZ market
Datastor has partnered up with Veritas to provide new products designed uniquely to take care of data protection, disaster recovery and storage management in New Zealand.
In addition, Veritas has released its latest storage management and virtualisation software, called Veritas Storage Foundation 4.0.
Datastor has been providing sophisticated storage products to enterprise and mid-range companies for some time now. They are especially strong at making solutions which match the exact needs of large enterprise customers.
Frank Zanotto, National Partner Manager of Veritas Software explains why they chose to partner Datastor in New Zealand: "Veritas has experience strong sales in New Zealand and this combined with our storage resource management offerings, spurred us to seek a relationship with a leading player in the local market.
"We chose to partner with Datastor because of its excellent reputation and their team's strong understanding of the storage market in New Zealand."
Vic Dickerson, Managing Director of Datastor NZ added: "Our strong product knowledge and after sales support allows us to provide a unique distribution model.
"By working with Veritas, the leading storage software provider in the market, we can now offer our customers the best possible solution regardless of their needs."
As for the new Veritas Storage Foundation, this integrates Veritas Volume Manager, (storage virtualisation software) and Veritas file system, to manage multiple operating systems across storage devices and databases, helping to ensure the continuous availability of mission-critical data.
Sal Fernando, the Chief Technical Architect for Australia and New Zealand at Veritas outlined the benefits of this new software: "It allows businesses to get better control over their storage and utilise less expensive storage. It's especially useful for companies who don't have storage management discipline. It saves them having to buy more storage unnecessarily because this system tells them exactly how they can make the most out of the storage facilities they already have available."
The utility computing strategy of Veritas aims to provide a solid basis for inceasing the availability, manageability and performance of systems and storage which will in turn drive down the costs through shared storage infrastructure.
