Huzefa Motiwala, regional manager, Systems Engineering, Symantec, said: "Cloud does not come in a box, but existing infrastructure can be transformed to build a private cloud, with the first step being virtualisation. The new solutions support any storage hardware, OS, and virtualisation technology which also feature high availability and disaster recovery capabilities and insight into storage usage and tools."

It helps in managing business services end-to-end across heterogeneous platforms, deploy resilient, elastic storage for cloud workloads, reduce the storage footprint through de-duplication, compression and thin reclamation and use a single pane of glass for intelligent reporting and non-disruptive remediation.

"Although one-third of Indian enterprises are discussing private/hybrid cloud adoption, about 43  per cent of CFOs and CEOs are cautious when it comes to putting mission critical applications onto the cloud owing to concerns spanning across meeting high-availability SLAs and vulnerabilities, availability, in case of an outage or a disaster, obtaining results from a virtualised environment, and gaps between expectations and reality," Motiwala added.

The new range of 6.0 and 4.1 releases include:

Veritas Storage Foundation 6.0

Veritas Cluster Server 6.0

Veritas Cluster File System 6.0

Veritas Dynamic Multi-Pathing 6.0

Veritas Operations Manager 4.1

Symantec ApplicationHA 6.0

Symantec VirtualStore 6.0.
