Veritas becomes AWS Outposts partner as enterprises seek to protect data
One of the many announcements to come from the AWS re:Invent gathering in Las Vegas last week was the general availability of Outposts, the company’s fully managed service to extend cloud infrastructure into the data center.
There are a number of partners working with Amazon Web Services Inc. to implement Outposts for enterprise customers, among them Veritas Technologies LLC, which provides information-management solutions for 86% of Fortune 500 companies.
“We have a designed, tested and validated solution on Amazon Outposts,” said Greg Hughes (pictured), chief executive officer of Veritas. “If you have an application or data on Outposts, it will be automatically backed up to the cloud to S3 through Veritas NetBackup. You can manage your Outposts through Amazon, your Veritas estate through our NetBackup console, and things work seamlessly together.”
Hughes spoke with Lisa Martin (@LisaMartinTV) and Stu Miniman (@stu), co-hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the AWS re:Invent event. They discussed how Veritas helps customers in the cloud-migration journey and the importance of backup and recovery in ransomware attacks. (* Disclosure below.)
Backup as prelude to migration
Working with AWS, Veritas has found that the backup and protection solutions it provides often serve as a helpful on-ramp for companies seeking to migrate major workloads to the cloud.
“We’ve spent a lot of time working with AWS on what that journey looks like,” Hughes explained. “It usually starts with backing up to the cloud, and the second step is using the cloud as a disaster recovery site. Finally, it’s moving your whole application stack to the cloud.”
An effective backup and disaster recovery strategy has emerged as one of the cornerstones in information-technology management. Ransomware attacks continue to plague organizations across the globe, with the most recent victim being the City of Pensacola, Florida.
The municipality’s email, 311, and billing systems were affected in a recent attack.
“What the enterprise is worried about is their data gets completely encrypted through a ransomware attack and they’re dead in the water,” Hughes noted. “What you need is a resilient infrastructure, and the foundation of that is to make sure you have a protected copy of your data that you can depend on and roll back to. That’s really driven a lot of our business in the last few years.”
