Gone are the days when Applications were run on entire physical servers. Today, virtualization has been introduced in order to maximize the efficiency of servers, which means, having chunks of the memory, CPU, Network Cards and storage run your applications. Whilst this allows you to run multiple applications on the same physical server and give them their dedicated operating environment, the problem of monitoring your Apps still exists. What happens is that, when the applications have issues, it's the end user who notices them instead of the other way around. In real life IT should rather inform the user about issues with the App before the user realizes it.
This is where ApplicationHA comes in. According to Veritas "ApplicationHA is an easy-to-use solution that provides high availability for business-critical applications through application visibility and control in VMware, Hyper-V, Solaris LDOM, IBM LPAR, and KVM environments. Based on leading Veritas InfoScale Availability technology, ApplicationHA provides a layer of application protection on various virtual platforms." It ensures availability of your application by monitoring and restarting it when there are issues. In certain specific cases, it might be necessary to migrate the application to another environment.

Backup Exec 15 secures your data by backing it up to multiple locations for recovery during a disaster. Backup Exec (BE) is a truly flexible and easy to use tool that adapts to your environment and provides you the level of protection you need. It offers you the possibility to simply backup your data or an entire system including OS and Applications. It gives you the option to restore even granular items. Backup can be to Disk, Tape or to the Cloud. To reduce the amount of data transferred to the backup target, BE employs deduplication technology. According to Veritas, "Backup Exec 15 is a leading backup and recovery solution. Easily perform physical or virtual machine backups with fast, flexible recovery capabilities".

The Amount of Data that enterprises have is estimated to grow at an average rate of 40 to 60% year over year. This means that the size of your Big Data doubles every second to third year. Gartner research estimates that only 40% of the Data is useful to the enterprise. In other words, companies are "hoarding" data that is of less or no value to them. This logically leads to the following question: How do enterprises locate and determine which data is valuable, less valuable or not valuable at all? This is where Data Insight comes in. Data Insight provides Insight into the unstructured data that enterprises own, it determines the age, type, owner, size and last accessed time of the files in your file server regardless of storage vendor. Data Insight looks at the metadata (description of the files) of the files. Armed with this information, Data owners can easily decide what to retain temporarily, permanently and what to delete. Today's organizations have compliance regulations that allow them to either retain data for specific periods or retire it by archiving or even deleting. Data Insight helps with Data Management by identifying/reducing inactive data, with Data Security by giving insight about your files and share access patterns, so these can be correctly restricted and with Compliance by giving you a tool for implementing compliance policies..

Today, laptops and desktops process business critical information either onsite or offsite before moving the data finally to servers in the Datacenter. To reduce the risk and associated costs that come with losing such endpoints, it has become necessary for the information/data on these devices to be protected at source until it finally "hits" the servers. DLO provides you continuous data protection by backing up your files regardless of whether you have connectivity to your corporate network or the internet. According to Veritas, DLO

Today IT Professionals are tasked with determining business relevant information from less important ones and this challenge is further compounded by the explosion of Data, making it extremely difficult to answer questions such as: which data to keep or delete, what retention policies to enforce on the retained data, how to maintain the right end user access to it, or how to search and hold relevant data for audits? Enterprise Vault (EV) and Enterprise Vault.cloud (EV.cloud) according to Veritas help automate retention management and supervision while simplifying eDiscovery of unstructured data.

Due to constraints on budget, IT organizations need to manage their resources efficiently, calling for the streamlining of IT operations and projects, to achieve and even exceed various SLA's on their services. It is upon this backdrop that the Infoscale suite of solutions have been designed, to aid with deploying and managing Business Continuity Solutions on software defined storage for mission critical applications. Infoscale provides increased visibility and control within your IT Environments, increases storage utilization and access to your data. With such possibilities to manage and control your IT environment, one can ensure that mission critical applications will stay up and running against unwanted downtime..

TNetbackup (NBU) offers Enterprise Class Data Protection for your environment. Netbackup is a recognized market leader in the backup and recovery space. It is built to protect the largest and most demanding datacenter ecosystems.

A Netbackup Appliance is a Purpose-Built Backup Appliance (PBBA) that combines the highly tuned and pre-configured Netbackup software with hardware and storage to give you the best of all worlds for your Datacenter. It helps in reducing the complexity of managing backup and recovery, giving you the best way to reduce total cost of ownership whilst standardizing and providing predictable performance, scalability and reliability. This enterprise backup appliance provides expandable storage and intelligent de-duplication for physical and virtual systems in fast growing environments. It has unique visibility into backup streams thereby speeding recovery and reducing storage cost. NetBackup Appliances give customers the ability to quickly deploy NetBackup without all the hassle and formidable work involved in building your own NetBackup Master and Media servers.

For companies that run mission critical applications, Risk Advisor (RA) helps to keep your Service Level Availability high, by automatically identifying risks in your environment and helping you to understand them. It classifies the risks into problems that could lead to system availability issues and those that have a potential to cause data loss, as well as prioritizes remediation guidance. With this level of visibility into risks in your environment, you are in the best position to manage them and eventually fix them, before they cause extended downtimes, data loss or poor performance. RA automatically scans, detects and reports on risks in your environment. An example of risks that RA will discover is configuration drifts that occur on servers in same or different Datacenters hosting same applications. Such drifts can be disastrous in a mission critical environment, when undetected in a timely fashion and could result in unplanned downtime, data loss or sub-optimal performance for your environment. Failure to restore replication after a maintenance or failure to ensure redundant storage paths to disk can be detected and reported too as well as others. Such automated auditing buys IT more time for strategy planning rather than manually checking risks and is a less intrusive way of improving IT Resiliency.
