"We are again honored to be named a Leader in this year's Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions," said Mike Palmer, executive vice president and chief product officer, Veritas. "As data continues to grow and become more fragmented across clouds and virtual environments, organizations need great performance with integrated backup and recovery to help reduce risks and boost productivity – and at the same time, minimize storage costs. We believe this achievement underscores our commitment to offer comprehensive integrated enterprise data management – both on premises and in the cloud."
