PUNE,INDIA: Security and Storage major Symantec would be rolling out Infrastructure Manager later this year, a product that is being developed on blocks and frameworks of Altiris, an IT Management software company, which was Symantec's latest acquisition.

The Symantec Backup Exec Infrastructure Manager 12.5 which is scheduled to be available late Fall 2008, is being worked on as a new dimension to data protection systems management with better accounting, reporting, reduced total cost of ownership, and more flexibility for server environments, shared Darrell Riddle, Director, Technical Product Management - Americas, EMEA and ASIA Pacific, Backup Exec Products.

It would also take care of upgrade process and patch management of Backup Exec installations, centralized license discovery, inventory and disk-capacity monitoring, web-based interface, location-neutral management.

He also added that there is a growing opportunity in the SMB virtualization space. "Analysts have already predicted a greater adoption by SMBs. We are having a good traction. Talk of virtualization and SMBs are absolutely ready for it. We are trying to package it for them and make it as simple as possible.Hyper V Agent is a glimpse of our growing focus here," Riddle said.

Symantec Corp. has recently released Backup Exec 12.5 that addresses data protection for VMware Infrastructure, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and conventional physical systems.

It also claims to reduce complexity within a VMware ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V host environment, and provide individual file-level and image-level recovery from a single pass backup.

"Unlike other backup solutions that require multiple backups to allow for granular recovery of files and folders, as well as entire virtual machines, Backup Exec allows users to recover data on a granular or image-level via one backup to reduce the recovery time and the footprint of the backup on storage resources."

Also released, is Backup Exec System Recovery 8.5 for virtual environments that includes scheduling for physical to virtual (P2V) system migrations, and covers VMware ESX 3.5, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer 4.1.

This too would offer integration with the Altiris management platform for centralized backup and recovery of servers or desktops.
