Symantec unveils NetBackup 7.6 version to tackle data growth
To protect the largest-scale VMware-based environments as enterprises move to a software-defined data center architecture, Symantec has announced the latest version of its NetBackup solution. NetBackup 7.6 is designed for enterprise level scale, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of virtual machines and petabytes of data while giving customers 400x faster virtual machine recovery than a standard restore.
NetBackup 7.6 can provide 400x faster recovery of VMware vSphere virtual machines by booting directly from backup storage, compared to the hours or days that could be required for a traditional restore. The solution’s NetBackup Instant Recovery for VMware environments allows customers to increase productivity and performance by powering on virtual machines from within NetBackup, making them 100 per cent available in vSphere during the restore.
Customers can protect 300 virtual machines in 300 seconds, proactively backing up and recovering data with NetBackup Replication Director for VMware by leveraging NetApp array-based snapshots to protect virtual environments without giving up recoverability.
“As organizations continue to realize the benefits of the software-defined data center, we are pleased to work with Symantec to empower customers to protect their IT infrastructure. Symantec's data center, with NetBackup 7.6 and VMware vCloud Suite, is a strong example of a transformative software-defined data center,” said Sanjay Katyal, Vice-President, Global Alliances & OEMs, VMware.
NetBackup 7.6 is available now through Symantec’s channel partners or from Symantec directly. Symantec customers with current maintenance contracts can download the new version. The updated NetBackup 5230 appliance is also available now with 14TB of capacity and NetBackup 7.6 software pre-installed.
