Symantec Joins with Industry Suppliers to Build Comprehensive, End-to-End Persistent Data Solution

Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced the ability to leverage its Dynamic Storage Tiering technology to enable cost-effective, policy-based automated storage management of persistent data profiles — the fastest growing segment of stored data at the enterprise level. Dynamic Storage Tiering is a feature of Veritas Storage Foundation, which offers organizations a complete solution for heterogeneous online storage management.

Symantec has joined the new Persistent Data Storage Architecture (PDSA) alliance, led by enterprise-class MAID storage solutions provider COPAN Systems, to address how enterprise customers manage information.

“Symantec’s Veritas Storage Foundation provides an advanced storage management infrastructure that enables organizations to dramatically reduce their storage costs by non-disruptively moving data to less expensive tiers of storage as the business value of the data changes,” said Rob Soderbery, senior vice president of Symantec’s Storage Foundation Group. “Establishing a standard storage software infrastructure is critical today as organizations look to scale storage operations, maximize the value of tiered storage, and address the need to manage information effectively.”

“Veritas Storage Foundation and its Dynamic Storage Tiering combined with COPAN Massive Array of Idle Disks (MAID) delivers a compelling solution to address the growing challenge customers face in managing persistent data,” said Roger Archibald, senior vice president of marketing and business development for COPAN Systems. “With policy-based Dynamic Storage Tiering, IT organizations can utilize the appropriate tier of storage for their applications without impacting the application’s availability to the business.”
