Veritas NetBackup 8.1.2
Veritas just before VMworld introduced NetBackup 8.1.2, the latest version of the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company's data protection technology with a simplified user interface. NetBackup 8.1.2 enables authorized employees to protect and monitor data in bot on-premises or multi-cloud environments. The software helps simplify day-to-day operations and empowers employees to play a greater data management role. Through integration with Veritas Smart Meter, users can identify issues, view a report of capacity usage, and act to ensure their backup environments are running smoothly. NetBackup works with traditional IT workloads, big data analytics platforms, open-source databases and hyper-converged infrastructure to help ensure data in those environments is protected.

The new HCI deployment helps deliver improved efficiency due to automated capacity reclamation, and helps administrators anticipate data needs with new predictive tools. vSAN 6.7 Update 1 also takes advantage of granular diagnostic tools and historical data to help decrease time-to-resolution when issues arrive.
