Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager the best solution for enterprise data protection and management at high cost

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have used in past Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager cloud solutions to protect business data for critical services such as users' geo-location history or trips. Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager has been rich in features, that are quite important for the management of such sensitive information. A few to mention here are: ransomware protection solutions; live-monitoring; NetBackup Recovery Vault ; EU-compliant servers (GDPR compliant). One of the key features was the ability to schedule the automatic deletion of certain user data. This ensured we remained GDPR compliant with little to no manual effort.

  • multi cloud integration
  • Customizable data retention solutions (short/mid/long term)
  • Ransomware Resilient

Cons

  • More pricing option for small to medium size companies
