Symantec and Microsoft team for disaster-recovery service

zigzag3143 · Jun 11, 2012

Symantec today announced a partnership with Microsoft to use Symantec storage and disaster-recovery products in tandem with Microsoft's Azure to allow continuous computing if a customer's main data site is severely disrupted. Symantec said the "disaster-recovery as a service" (DRaaS) in combination with Windows Azure is the first of its kind the security firm has undertaken. Basically, it would require the business customer to use Veritas Storage Foundation High Availability for Windows and Veritas Volume replicator products on their main data-processing site in a way that ties into Microsoft's cloud-based Azure, so that if a disaster-recovery situation should unfold, there would be no disruption in computing.
