CloudPoint 2.0 for Azure improves software integration with Azure's snapshot technology to add new cataloging capabilities to search and restore data in a single file, improve data protection with multi-region capabilities, and policy-based snapshots, and perform Data searches and restores are more available for use in compliance-centric environments, said Alex Sakaguchi, senior director of cloud solutions marketing for the company, based in Mountain View, California.
CloudPoint 2.0 for Google Cloud Platform now works natively with GCP to add critical business data protection capabilities such as granular search and recovery, agentless protection and extended workload support, while improving disaster recovery and capacity to use GCP for compliance, Sakaguchi told CRN.CloudPoint is Veritas' next-generation data protection technology for native web applications in the cloud, and is aimed at workloads born in the cloud, not local applications, said Sakaguchi.
Companies are running a mix of local and cloud-based workloads, and cloud providers such as AWS, Azure and Google provide integrated data protection, he said. "But most companies are running multiple clouds, and each one has its own replication and snapshot technologies," he said. "You need different tools for each cloud, add separate tools for the data center."
CloudPoint is a multi-cloud offering that provides automated policies, recovery of workloads and the ability to identify important information, such as personally identifiable information, said Sakaguchi. It provides an intuitive, modern interface that allows an administrator to address data protection in data centers and clouds, he said.
Although Veritas CloudPoint and NetBackup work together, they are still different tools for now, Sakaguchi said.
"We have the integration of NetBackup and CloudPoint," he said. "But buyers are different for cloud environments and facilities." There is not yet a single role for data protection, but for backup administrators unique to the entire range of data centers and clouds, we have Absolutely an integration route. "
That integration, Sakaguchi said, will probably come next month.
It will be a welcome integration, said Shahin Pirooz, director of technology at DataEndure, a solution provider based in San Jose, California, and a long-time Veritas channel partner.
Over the next decade or more, companies will live in a hybrid world and Veritas responded by supporting both the data center data protection and the cloud with the ability to use NetBackup devices in the cloud, leveraging the cloud as a goal. support and take advantage of the gateways in the cloud, said Pirooz to CRN.
"Integrating NetBackup and CloudPoint and making them look like a single product is the way to go," he said. "Today it is clear that you are using two products, but the new CloudPoint 2.0 is a step in the right direction.
"Some people back up the data in AWS and they want CloudPoint, while the data center administrators can back up the data with NetBackup," he said. "And cloud-based companies do not need NetBackup because they do not have a local infrastructure," the start-up companies take advantage of the cloud first, while the older companies have infrastructure in the facilities, so it's not as simple as say: 'Let's move', this server to the cloud '".
While cloud providers already have integrated data protection capabilities, most users do not realize that those capabilities are limited, so it's important to have offers such as CloudPoint 2.0, said Pirooz.
"Companies that look at Microsoft Office 365 do not realize that Microsoft does not provide real data protection," he said. "Microsoft allows users to recover files up to 30 days old, but people do not realize that after 30 days, there is no way to recover data, but that is an important requirement for data retention, especially in regulated environments. "
CloudPoint 2.0 now offers integration with the Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform environments, but not yet for AWS, Sakaguchi said. "But the integration with AWS and other clouds is coming," he said. "We are working on AWS certifications, AWS has different processes, but we support CloudPoint for use in AWS."
A multi-cloud data protection technology such as CloudPoint 2.0 is important because customers do not use a single cloud, Sakaguchi said.
"With other providers, you may need separate instances for each cloud, which increases operating expenses related to different computing, memory and storage environments," he said. "That can destroy the economy of the cloud." CloudPoint offers customers all the benefits of data protection in multiple clouds without separate instances.
For now, CloudPoint is an offer that can be brought, available through Veritas channel partners and the company's direct sales teams, Sakaguchi said. The company is also studying how to do transactions for CloudPoint through the markets of cloud service providers, but Sakaguchi said details on how that would work for channel partners have not yet been decided.
About 85 percent of Veritas sales in North America go through indirect channels, he said.
