Symantec launches the Backup Exec 3600 appliance in Australia<\/em><\/p>\n

SYDNEY, Australia \u2013 December 13, 2012 \u2013<\/strong> Symantec<\/a> Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced the Australian launch of a new backup and data management appliance, the Backup Exec 3600. An integrated solution that features backup software and storage hardware in the same device, the Backup Exec 3600 appliance is designed to make it easier for businesses to protect their vital information.<\/p>\n

According to Symantec\u2019s recent State of Information Survey<\/a> conducted with 4,506 organisations in 38 countries, the total size of information stored today by all businesses is 2.2 zettabytes and information costs businesses worldwide $1.1 trillion annually.<\/p>\n

The survey also revealed that 69 percent of the businesses surveyed had experienced some form of information loss due to human error, hardware failure, security breach, and\/or lost or stolen devices. In addition, some 25 percent of respondents were also challenged by the overwhelming growth of information.<\/p>\n

With explosive data growth and wide adoption of virtualisation, many organisations are facing more challenges with data backup and recovery as well as higher risks of data loss due to unplanned disruptions such as natural disasters.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo address these data protection and management challenges, we have launched the Backup Exec 3600 appliance in Australia to provide customers with an all-in-one platform that centralises backup for physical and virtual environments and maximises performance with end-to-end deduplication \u2013 all on a pre-configured device supported by Symantec,\u201d said Brenton Smith, vice president and managing director, Pacific region, Symantec.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Backup Exec 3600 appliance is designed to help bring better backup to Australian businesses. There\u2019s nothing to configure and users don\u2019t need to worry about integration between hardware and software. The appliance\u2019s policies and settings are designed so organisations can implement expert backup policies without being experts in backup.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once operational, the Backup Exec 3600 can store up to 5.5 terabytes of data and does so using RAID 5 technology that ensures data is protected even if a disk drive fails. Off-site backup, or backup to tape, is also possible for businesses which want the extra protection of a copy of their data stored in a separate location.<\/p>\n

While many solutions require the IT team to integrate multiple solutions for tape, disk, dedupe, physical, virtual snapshots and backup, Symantec appliances are typically installed in less than 30 minutes and deliver integrated hardware, software and dedupe storage, providing customers with simplicity and performance from one vendor. The Backup Exec 3600 appliance is a modern approach to backup.<\/p>\n

The appliance also includes a redundant disk drive of its own, to ensure the Backup Exec software is always operational.
