A Symbiotic Relationship

“The nice thing about Dell storage in conjunction with Veritas NetBackup is that both solutions were easy to install. They’re enterprise-class products, yet they still seem to have been designed with ease of use in mind.”

Alibris’s aging backup software could no longer keep up with the company’s growing infrastructure. Backups often failed and were difficult to monitor and manage. Alibris also wanted a cost-effective, flexible storage platform for its email and backup data.

Dell worked with partner Symantec to provide Alibris with a comprehensive backup and recovery solution running on Dell^TM  PowerEdge^TM  servers and Dell PowerVault^TM  iSCSI storage arrays.
