Storage software provider Veritas and Network Appliance have joined forces to create software tools which will enable firms to protect, archive, organise and manage data across a range of infrastructures.

This new systems will provide integrated solutions for data lifecycle management, regulatory compliance and disk-based data protection.

Companies will be able to index data, so IT managers and auditors benefit from saving time by quickly retrieving information using an enterprise search engine.

We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with NetApp on product development, joint marketing and sales. Together, we will be driving the future of disk-based data protection and the realization of true enterprise-wide data lifecycle management."

Patrick Rogers, Vice President of partners and alliances at Network Appliance believes that the new collaboration is very forward thinking. "By expanding our alliance, NetApp and Veritas are delivering advanced enterprise solutions that further address and anticipate critical customer needs centred around data protection, data lifecycle management, and regulatory compliance. By continuing to create robust solutions, we will help our customers gain greater value from their storage infrastructures, while saving on their total cost of ownership."

There are benefits to be found for companies concerned about Data Lifecycle Management and Regulatory Compliance. Veritas and NetApp plan to integrate enterprise storage systems to manage data from creation to end of life. The solution will enable policy-based data migration and archiving between NetApp FAS systems and heterogenenous servers, which are connected to NetApp NearStore systems, providing complete data lifecycle management for Data ONTAp, Windows, Unix, and Linux host systems.
