Challenged by the explosion of data? Trying to unify physical and virtual?

The world leader in backup and recovery is raising the standard of information management once again, with a simultaneous update of Symantec NetBackup™ and Symantec Backup Exec™!

Accelerated data growth, virtualization, and tighter SLAs have pushed traditional backup to its breaking point. New alternatives have emerged, fragmenting data protection by splitting up deduplication, VM protection and snapshots as well as tape, disk, and cloud-based backup.

Join us this February to find out how Symantec’s latest backup and recovery products can help your organization. Hear from product management experts and discover how to:

Unite physical and virtual
Unify snapshots and backup
Change the operating model of backup
Reduce backup operating costs up to 80 percent
Fight infinite backup retention

Give Your Data A Fresh Start!

Thu, 24 Nov 2011 14:12:01 -0500

Upgrade to Enterprise Vault 10 and give your data archiving solution a boost!

Symantec recently released Enterprise Vault, Version 10, the latest upgrade to their industry leading application for email and content archiving. Data archiving and eDiscovery is quickly becoming a mandatory solution for organizations providing storage savings of up to 60% and functionality to meet your growing compliance requirements. Enterprise Vault 10 answers the need for organizations in highly litigious or regulated industries by providing intelligent archiving capabilities that now collect information from a more broad range of content sources.

New to Enterprise Vault 10 includes the use of Social Media Archiving. As more organizations make social media and collaboration tools an important piece of their communication strategy, it has become increasingly important to monitor and track activity. Enterprise Vault 10 now allows organizations to significantly reduce their risk in collaboration while preserving the functionality and value of social media and sharing tools.

Additional features for Enterprise Vault 10 include:

Built-in Data Classification Services (DCS) adds context and relevance to Exchange messages, enabling automated decision-making based on the value of the information, as well as data-privacy
Global Deduplication of Archived Content across email, files, SharePoint documents, IM, and more
Compatibility with Clearwell eDiscovery Platform providing enhanced search capabilities

The Enterprise Vault 10 upgrade process requires significant, detailed planning and to ensure a successful outcome, many clients are making a Kanatek Assessment the first step. Kanatek’s Assessment Services will provide a comprehensive project plan outlining the steps of the upgrade process, ultimately ensuring a successful outcome. As an Authorized Symantec Consulting Partner, you can be assured that we will tailor the upgrade to benefit your organization – maximizing the new features and minimizing any possible disruptions.
