Veritas organizes 'Windows Solutions Day'

In a move to enhance its customer base in the country, Veritas Software Solutions organized 'Veritas Windows Solutions Day'
in Delhi, which targeted at educating the customers about the importance of having back-up storage
solutions for Windows server or any other multi-platforms. 

The company will be organizing this seminar in four other cities, viz,
Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai. The seminar was well attended by almost 80 customers, comprising a mix between Veritas' existing customers as
well as prospective ones.

Says Sonu Singh, Technical Consultant, Presales, Veritas, "Today, the most critical component for any company is data and it is very important for them
to understand that by only having anti-virus software or firewall doesn't protect their data. It is equally essential for them to have back-up
solutions for their servers, be in Windows or Unix. We have developed such a software which would support any server and would help a company retain
their data when the server crashes."

Sonu also reflects on the fact that today most of crucial data is saved in the desktop and so it is not only important to protect
the server but ensuring the safety of personal desktop is equally important.
Veritas' Desktop Laptop option is one such software which ensures that the data which
is on the desktop in well protected. "We have realized that presently 60% to 70%
of crucial data is saved in the desktop and this has initiated us to come up with this software which ensures complete back-up of data if some
virus attack takes place," Sonu adds.

AS Gill, Channel Sales Manager - North & East, Veritas says that this seminar is an awareness program for the customers,
which would ensure that they understand the importance of storage solutions for disaster recovery.
When enquired about Veritas' channel strength and distributions structure, Gill adds that he won't be able to divulge any numbers but insisted that
their channel strength is substantial. "We organize seminars for channels, but this one is primarily for the end-user as we want to have more customers
using our software," Gill points out.
