In the multicloud world, IT also means ‘infrastructure’ technology
If there’s a challenge in today’s data management universe, it’s finding a technology solution that can work effectively across multiple clouds, such as Amazon Web Services Inc. and Microsoft Corp.’s Azure. This is becoming more important as enterprise information technology expands to include numerous platforms where massive amounts of data are stored. As the multicloud world evolves, Veritas Technologies LLC believes its technology can provide that layer of management across the growing, chaotic infrastructure.
“These are environments that quite frankly are too large for our closest competitors to even hope to address,” said Alex Sakaguchi (pictured, left), senior director of global cloud solutions at Veritas. “These are very heterogeneous environments with lots of data and multiple types of platforms, and Veritas has always been … that layer which can up-level it to a simpler management capability.”
Sakaguchi visited theCUBE, SiliconANGLE’s mobile livestreaming studio, and spoke with co-hosts Dave Vellante (@dvellante) and Stu Miniman (@stu) during the Veritas Vision conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was joined by Ian Wood (pictured, right), head of business practices, EMEA, at Veritas, and they discussed cloud provider services, the evolving IT infrastructure and competitors as partners in the multicloud world. (* Disclosure below.)
The evolution of the multicloud environment is being driven by services needed to run the enterprise. These could involve governance, back-office functions or the agility to move information seamlessly between platforms. “It’s going to be selecting the cloud providers that provide the best service,” Wood said. “That really will be the multicloud world.”
The ever-expanding data center
The need for a data management solution that can handle a more complex infrastructure is grounded in a simple reality: Data centers are not going away. “We’re not seeing customers eliminate the rest of their architecture; they’re not eliminating their data centers. They’re just adding to it,” Sakaguchi explained. “We know that IT stands for information technology, but it’s evolved over many years to become infrastructure technology.”
Veritas is not alone in seeking to provide the winning formula for multicloud management. Competitors such as IBM Corp. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. are actively pursuing solutions in this space. But the battlefield lines can blur since Veritas has also formed partnerships with its competition, as evidenced by close ties with IBM.
“We compete with them; they also use our technology. In other cases, they partner with us to deliver combined value to our customers,” Sakaguchi pointed out.
