Using it, customers can deploy a comprehensive, agile
data protection solution across virtual, physical, cloud-

back up, archive and recover critical enterprise data
and applications. When needs change, they can scale
seamlessly with capacity-based solutions, protecting
their expanding enterprise and accelerating growth.
It’s a simplified solution your customers will love:

platform that provides one view of all data across
heterogeneous infrastructures: physical, virtual or
cloud

across any environment simultaneously, whether
physical, virtual, cloud or hybrid
• Provide compatibility with a validated solution
from trusted, industry-leading companies
