Veritas and Pure Storage Extend Collaboration

At Pure//Accelerate, Pure Storage, Inc.‘s annual user conference, Veritas Technologies LLC announced an expansion of its collaborative solutions for customers that include application resiliency, data analytics, and long-term retention.

These solutions provide customers with BC for mission critical applications, and storage optimization using Veritas data analytics and long-term retention solutions.

Since announcing their collaboration in October 2018, the two companies have provided joint customers with backup and recovery for on-premises and cloud environments.

Veritas’ NetBackup integrated snapshot-based protection for Pure FlashArray has helped customers guard against ransomware and data loss. The integration of the Pure FlashBlade as a storage target to Veritas enables data protection and rapid restore for mission critical workloads. In addition, shared customers can leverage FlashBlade as a data hub for streaming analytics and AI cluster projects with NetBackup providing data protection.

Three integrations announced extend the collaboration across the entire Veritas Enterprise Data Services platform, providing the two partners’ customers with BC for mission critical apps and insights into data and infrastructure.

The FlashArray integrates with Veritas InfoScale to deliver mission-critical levels of performance and round-the-clock availability for the most demanding applications.

Pure products integrate with Veritas APTARE IT Analytics, providing customers with data insights to optimize capacity, utilization and performance and streamline compliance with an increasing number of data regulations.

The Veritas Access Appliance provides a resilient and cost-effective solution for the preservation of FlashArray snapshots for long-term retention.

“Enterprises today need the agility to scale, analyze and protect data critical to their businesses,” said Prakash Darji, GM, FlashArray, Pure Storage. “Integrating our services and solutions with Veritas will continue to provide our customers with access to the information they need to run business efficiently.“

Since the partnership began, customers have seen optimized RPO and RTO for critical and  transactional applications through Pure ‘s architecture. Veritas integration with Pure has provided customers with consistent, reliable data recovery with point-in-time copies, and faster backups at performance without lengthy snapshot windows and application time-outs.
