During Wednesday's launch of Windows Server 2008, storage vendors turned out in full force, including CA, FalconStor Software, Emulex, EMC, Network Appliance, and QLogic.
Like others, Symantec wants to take advantage of the sales opportunity presented by Microsoft's Windows Server 2008, of which IDC forecasts 3.5 million copies will be sold this year.
"We have to have a solution from day one," said Roger Blomqvist, senior principal technical product manager at Symantec. "That's an opportunity we can't afford to miss." Symantec Backup Exec, CA ARCserve, and FalconStor Message Recovery for Exchange have all been certified for the new operating system.
