NetBackup 10 provides the foundation for Autonomous Data Management
Veritas Technologies, a leader in multi-cloud data management, announced the latest version of NetBackup™ powered by Cloud Scale Technology, the next generation of NetBackup’s industry-leading architecture, which is the foundation for Autonomous Data Management and multi-cloud data protection at scale.
Modern data infrastructure increasingly includes on-premises resources, hosted services and Software-as-a-Service applications from multiple public cloud providers. This multi-cloud approach creates new data management challenges, including unexpected costs, operational complexity and increased vulnerability to cyberattacks.
Deepak Mohan, executive vice president of products at Veritas, said: “Enterprises are accelerating their cloud transformation to deliver new business outcomes where they need a broad and modern platform to cost effectively provide data protection and ransomware resiliency in multi-cloud environments. NetBackup solves this problem today, and NetBackup 10 powered by Cloud Scale Technology is the first step in delivering industry-leading Autonomous Data Management, on-premises and in the cloud. This new technology will continuously self-provision, self-optimize and self-heal data management services.”

Cloud Scale Technology
Veritas Cloud Scale Technology uses leading-edge web-scale IT technologies and techniques to provide greater cloud agility and efficiency while enabling elastic, auto-scaling data management.
Cloud Scale Technology creates the foundation not only for the new features delivered in NetBackup 10, but for Veritas’ strategy to transform data protection by delivering Autonomous Data Management outlined at its Conquer Every Cloud 2022 event. Veritas is planning for a future where its technology is able to autonomously provision, optimize and repair data management services, while empowering end users to enable self-service data protection and recovery, freeing up IT staff to focus on strategic and transformational activity.
Randy Kerns, senior strategist and analyst at Evaluator Group, said: “Enterprise data management must transform to meet the needs of multi-cloud infrastructures where customers have their critical data. The result of transforming data management is lower total cost of ownership and improved return on investment. As the foundation for the Veritas roadmap to Autonomous Data Management, Veritas Cloud Scale Technology enables that transformation.”
