In a bid to further build on a 20-plus year relationship, Veritas and Microsoft are collaborating to simplify data management while reducing IT complexity for the enterprise by delivering solutions built on Microsoft Azure.
The initiative was unveiled at Microsoft Ignite 2021 and this latest Veritas and Microsoft collaboration aims to address some of the biggest challenges facing enterprises today, such as the growing threat of ransomware while operating in complex hybrid cloud environments with unprecedented data growth.
Veritas is set to work with Microsoft to significantly simplify the traditionally siloed data management and data services across on-premises, virtual, cloud and SaaS environments.
Strategic collaboration between both companies will focus on:
Veritas and Microsoft are currently delivering the combined capability and reliability enabling Arup’s hybrid cloud environment to scale, according to Rob Greig, global chief information officer at Arup.
"The business-critical solutions make it seamless to move and manage data to the Azure Cloud and helps us manage workload risks including vulnerabilities and ransomware."
"The deeper collaboration will provide us with even more integrated solutions across our ecosystem,” Greig said.
According to Judson Althoff, executive vice-president and chief commercial officer of Microsoft, the collaboration aims to address some of the most pressing challenges facing enterprises today.
"Veritas has long collaborated with Microsoft to deliver data protection solutions to enterprise customers."
"With Veritas’ Enterprise Data Services built on Microsoft Azure, customers will benefit from hardened ransomware resiliency and simplified management of hybrid cloud environments,” Althoff said.
Additionally, the collaboration is designed to simplify how customers take advantage of the Veritas Enterprises Data Services built on Microsoft Azure. For instance, Veritas will bring data protection and archiving built on Azure to SaaS applications and data by providing NetBackup SaaS Protection as an Azure Marketplace subscription offering.
Enterprise customers across the globe have long relied on Veritas to provide the most scalable and reliable data management solutions for the hybrid cloud, according to Deepak Mohan, executive vice-president for products organisation at Veritas.
"Now with Microsoft, we are committed to delivering the next generation of cloud-enabled data management capabilities through rapid innovation to help our customers keep their data protected and always available in today’s reality of looming and persistent ransomware threats," Mohan added.
With a commitment to work collaboratively on further engineering projects and go-to-market strategies, Veritas expects to be able to spotlight further joint initiatives with Microsoft as the relationship continues to evolve.
