The new Platform empowers customers to accelerate their transition to the cloud without sacrificing control over protection, application resilience or data compliance
Veritas Technologies, a leader in multi-cloud data management, today advanced its autonomous data management strategy with the launch of Veritas Alta, a cloud data management platform that helps companies transition workloads from mission critical to the cloud. Alta leverages the benefits of the cloud to reduce costs, strengthen ransomware resilience, and ensure data is secure, available, and compliant. The company also introduced Veritas Alta View, a cloud-based management console that provides a unified view and control of the entire data asset – at the edge, data center and cloud – from a single dashboard.
The rise of the multicloud creates a transformative infrastructure and application development platform for enterprises. However, customers have the security, protection, compliance and availability of their data in the cloud as part of a shared responsibility model with the cloud service provider (CSP). The tools offered by CSPs offer basic functionality, but mission-critical applications require enterprise-class features, optimized cost management, and cross-cloud data mobility and visibility.
“Our approach to multi-cloud brings over 30 years of enterprise-class data management innovation to meet the unique needs of the cloud environment. Veritas Alta advances our mission of empowering customers to own and control their data, no matter where it resides – on-premises or in the cloud – while reducing the operational complexity and costs associated with managing multi-cloud environments,” explains Greg Hughes, executive director of Veritas.
Veritas Alta: Ultimate Control in the Cloud
Veritas Alta offers a unified cloud data management platform that offers the broadest range of enterprise-class data services in the industry and brings together the entire Veritas cloud portfolio. Veritas Alta focuses on three main areas:
- Data protection with unmatched ransomware resiliency: Veritas Alta's data protection and recovery is powered by Cloud Scale Technology, Veritas' cloud-native architecture, and offers customers a variety of consumption models, including as a service. It combines automation, artificial intelligence and an elastic architecture to provide the most secure, autonomous and cost-effective cloud data protection available. Together with Alta View, customers can protect and control their data in any environment, on-site or off-site, through a single dashboard.
- Application resiliency offering up to five times availability: Veritas Alta application resiliency brings enterprise-class availability to the cloud, enables application portability across clouds, and optimizes storage consumption with up to 50% lower cost and higher 200% performance compared to comparable solutions.
- Data compliance to clarify and correct information risks: Veritas Alta Data Compliance as a Service empowers companies to capture data from all communication platforms and automate content classification, reducing operational complexity and enabling customers to capture everything, archive anywhere and discover what matters.
Veritas Alta View: Control Data Anywhere
Veritas Alta View offers a cloud-based management console that allows customers to manage their entire data protection property, on-premises and in the cloud, from a single dashboard. Instead of overseeing multiple solutions for different workloads on-premises and in the cloud, customers can leverage a single management console for data at any location across multiple domains.
Innovation integrates Veritas' analytics engine to provide customers with end-to-end reporting, actionable insights and a complete view of their cybersecurity posture across their entire data asset. It leverages AI and machine learning to drive autonomous data management actions, freeing IT staff to focus on transformational activities. With the Veritas analytics engine, customers have reduced their IT management costs by 90% and realized a 28% reduction in IT resources consumed in the cloud.
“Organizations are often confused about their data protection SLAs when they move their data and/or applications to the cloud and may think that their responsibility to ensure the protection of these digital assets is somehow mitigated or solely the responsibility of the vendor. The reality is very different: data is in fact always the responsibility of the organization. In a multi-cloud environment that is becoming the norm, this data protection disconnect can easily be exacerbated, particularly when organizations use many different and poorly orchestrated data protection and management mechanisms. Limiting the number of standalone and integrated solutions is very necessary. This is the solution Veritas is introducing with its unified management platform Alta,” says Christophe Bertrand, Director, Enterprise Strategy Group.
