Symantec Corp. has announced version 6.0 of the company’s storage management and high availability products. With this release, Symantec enables IT organizations to build resilient private clouds by transforming their existing infrastructure.

Organizations can manage entire business services end-to-end with built in resiliency, even if the business service is run across multiple virtualization technologies, operating systems, and storage platforms.
 
This release spans multiple products in Symantec’s portfolio including its flagship Veritas Storage Foundation 6.0, Veritas Cluster Server 6.0, and Veritas Operations Manager 4.1, all tightly integrated to help IT organizations move confidently to private cloud architecture.

“IT architects appreciate the promise of the private cloud, but beneath the hype they are grappling with very real questions,” said Anand Naik, director, Technology Sales (India & SAARC), Symantec. “How do I transform my infrastructure to make it more agile? How do I give it the characteristics of a public cloud without compromising on availability and security?”

Symantec’s recent Virtualization and Evolution to the Cloud Survey found that 43 percent of IT and C-level professionals are less confident about placing mission-critical applications on a private/hybrid cloud due to business requirements for high availability SLAs. This concern extends to their storage environment as well, with 89 percent of respondents selecting reduction in data center complexity as an important goal for deciding to implement private storage-as-a-service.
