VERITAS Backup Exec 9.0 offers world-class
standards of
data protection to businesses in the Middle East
 Dubai,
United Arab Emirates – January 29, 2003 – The Middle East operations of VERITAS
Software Corporation, the leading storage software provider, today marked its
entry into the region’s emerging business sector with the launch of the next
generation of VERITAS Backup Exec™ for Windows Servers, its flagship backup and
recovery software for the growing market of small-to-medium size businesses.
Having captured significant market share among the Middle East’s largest
corporations in the energy, telecoms, banking, and government sectors, VERITAS
Middle East is now targeting the SME market, a segment estimated globally to
quadruple its spending on storage over the next four years to USD$18.5 billion.
VERITAS is already number one in the USD$613 million worldwide Windows data
protection market with 56 percent market share . VERITAS Backup Exec 9.0 builds
on the success of previous releases, offering key enhancements such as:
• The fastest backup and restore of Microsoft Exchange e-mail servers
• The first integrated support of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (.NET)
• The fastest and simplest installation for Windows data protection
• The first “Anywhere Internet” interface, allowing administrators to monitor
and manage their backup from any Internet-connected computer
“Information continues to grow at a phenomenal rate, and our customers must have
a solid, reliable backup strategy to preserve the integrity of their data. We
have worked with VERITAS to validate and test their software on our
industry-standard server and storage platforms to provide a solution that
optimizes the availability of vital information, helps lower the overall cost of
managing information, and allows customers to easily transition to
next-generation platforms including Microsoft’s Windows Server 2003”, explained
Walid Moneimne, VP Enterprise Systems Group and Services, Dell, EMEA.
Customers and partners in the Middle East have already experienced great success
with VERITAS software. “We’ve previously deployed other back-up solutions, but
have found that Backup Exec from VERITAS delivers greater reliability. Tech Data
has been a satisfied Backup Exec customer for three years, and this solution is
a fundamental component of our business continuity strategy,” said Vishnu
Vardhan, IT Director, Tech Data.
“As a UAE-based systems integrator, Raqmiyat has witnessed significantly
increased demand for VERITAS’s Backup Exec solution as an integral part of
storage area networks, especially for government, energy, and banking clients.
Companies are looking to reduce costs by consolidating their storage
environments, and VERITAS software plays a critical role in those consolidation
efforts,” commented Sandeep Saxena, Program Manager for Technology Solutions,
Raqmiyat.
Backup Exec Now Faster, Easier to Install, and Accessible from Anywhere via
Internet
Fastest Backup and Restore of Exchange – VERITAS Backup Exec 9.0 not only offers
the fastest backup and recovery of Exchange environments, 88 percent faster than
the previous 8.6 version , it also allows companies to restore individual public
folders and attachments, providing an extra level of granularity to e-mail
backup operations.
First Integrated Microsoft Windows (.NET) Server 2003 support – VERITAS Backup
Exec 9.0 supports all Microsoft server platforms, including the upcoming Windows
Server 2003 and .NET suite of products. VERITAS Backup Exec 9.0’s close
integration with Microsoft builds upon a decade of experience designing products
for Microsoft environments, including technology components embedded in
Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 operating systems,
enabling high availability and efficient management of storage assets.
Fastest and Simplest Installation – New installation wizards and automation
technology allow users to install VERITAS Backup Exec 9.0 in ten minutes, the
fastest backup installation on the market, minimizing backup administration
costs.
First Anywhere Internet Interface – The first “Anywhere Internet” web-based
console for backup and recovery software allows administrators to monitor and
manage their backup and recovery jobs from any Internet-connected computer,
anywhere in the world.
VERITAS Software’s status as the undisputed leader in the Windows data
protection was confirmed in a recent independent survey of partners and
customers, with 96 percent of participants recognizing VERITAS as the leader in
backup and recovery, and 97 percent prepared to recommend its products to other
companies. In the Middle East, the VERITAS name has become a byword for data
protection and accessibility.
“Whether it’s a small, family-owned business or a company competing with the
largest in the world, the VERITAS record for protecting our customers’ critical
information is unmatched in the industry,” said Mike Hynes, Regional Manager,
VERITAS Middle East. “Today’s introduction of VERITAS Backup Exec 9.0
demonstrates that we are not resting on our laurels, but advancing data

region -- providing faster, simpler, and more cost-effective backup and
