FAQ

Veritas has acquired APTARE, a global leader in analytic solutions for on-premises and hybrid cloud environments.

The acquisition of APTARE is part of a balanced approach to move our portfolio forward through both organic and inorganic growth. Veritas continues to innovate and develop solutions internally while also looking for opportunities with existing technologies that accelerate our vision.

APTARE offers analytic and reporting solutions for heterogeneous IT infrastructures. Customers rely on APTARE IT Analytics^TM platform for deep analytics and interconnected insights across their entire data centers. APTARE IT Analytics consists of Storage Management Suite, Backup Manager, Capacity Manager, Fabric Manager, File Analytics, Replication Manager and Virtualization Manager. These support backup and storage systems, and technologies such as software-defined storage, Flash, and hybrid infrastructures.

Veritas offers industry-leading products for multi-cloud data management, backup and recovery, business continuity, software-defined storage, and information governance.

Veritas currently offers reporting for its data management solutions across data protection, storage management, information governance, and business resiliency. The APTARE technology fits well with existing Veritas reporting capabilities and enables Veritas to provide full-stack insights, analytics, and reporting for our data protection products including Veritas NetBackup^TM, Veritas Backup Exec^TM, and Veritas InfoScale^TM. This combination will provide customers with tracking and trending, real-time dashboards, future forecasting, and predictive analysis of their enterprise data protection environments.

For now, there is no change in the APTARE product or brand. In the short-term, organizations using APTARE IT Analytics will continue to see the APTARE brand along with Veritas as we progress our integration plans.

Veritas’s acquisition of APTARE will have no impact to Veritas customers using Veritas OpsCenter and OpsCenter Analytics. In the long-term, the acquisition of APTARE will strengthen Veritas’ reporting and analytics portfolio, benefiting customers who rely on us to help provide single-pane-of-glass insights that empower them to optimize their infrastructure and data center investments.

Our goal is to provide a unified purchasing experience from Veritas. As an existing Veritas customer, you can purchase Veritas solutions under your current Veritas buying contracts or programs.

Yes, Veritas is fully committed to continuing to support third-party connectors for APTARE solutions – this was a key part of our acquisition strategy. As part of Veritas, APTARE will continue to provide the best reporting and analytics, independent of what technology is being used, as the core data protection solution. The core strength of the APTARE IT Analytics platform is the depth and breadth of reporting and analytics that it provides across all technologies that corporations use for their data protection, storage, and cloud environments. This single pane-of-glass approach is our competitive advantage over point solutions that sit on top of single backup technologies.
