Veritas: Cloud Take-Up 'Through the Roof'

There’s been huge interest in Veritas cloud services since launching last year, according to the company’s EMEA channel leader.

Last October the company launched Veritas Alta, a data management platform that helps enterprises transition workloads to the cloud. In May the vendor updated its Veritas Partner Force program. It includes enhanced rewards for cloud-based deals and a simplified transaction process as well as training and accreditation programs.
