Alliance among Symantec, Oracle, and NEC

As the rapid spread of the Internet and the introduction of information technology have increased business efficiency, various types of information have been digitized and the volume has increased dramatically. Companies have been required to centrally manage and make efficient use of a large amount of data so that they can improve their competitive edge and extend their business. For this reason, storage to ensure safe keeping of a large amount of data, storage management systems to allow efficient use of that storage, and multi-functional, high-speed database systems that enable efficient data processing have become increasingly important. To satisfy these needs and provide integrated solutions covering storage products, storage management, and databases, NEC,Symantec, and Oracle cooperate with each other in the following fields:

Cooperation between products in server platform environments

  • Joint certification of NEC Storage.
  • Software cooperation to improve operability.

Joint development to improve operability, performance, and reliability

  • Support of VERITAS Data Availability Layer.
  • Improvement of the reliability and availability of SAN environments.
  • Promotion of the joint development of IP-SAN, the next generation SAN.
