Are you moving your data center to the cloud? Are you already running applications and infrastructure in the cloud? Moving to the cloud is often not that simple. How do you ensure that your business technology is highly available and performs as required? In a cloud environment, the shared responsibility model means that ensuring your IT services are online and working properly is entirely up to you. This is why you need Veritas Alta Application Resiliency!
Veritas Alta Application Resiliency is a software-defined optimization solution for mission-critical applications that minimizes the risk of application downtime and data loss to help keep your applications up and running all the time. It gives you the flexibility to run your applications on nearly any physical, virtual or cloud platform. This means you can move from an on-premises datacenter to the cloud, and between cloud platforms to optimize costs, service availability and resiliency! And don’t forget innovation. Veritas Alta Application Resiliency enables you to architect your IT services using the best available cloud technology without having to worry about being locked-in to any one provider.
Let’s take a look at how this works in the cloud.
Since the cloud shared responsibility model leaves application management to the end user, it is critical for organizations to have a proven enterprise-grade solution to manage application uptime in the cloud. Veritas Alta Application Resiliency's application aware clustering and high availability services ensure your applications are always online.
Figure 1. How Veritas Alta Application Resiliency helps you manage your cloud shared responsibility
Veritas Alta Application Resiliency has a proven track record of managing cloud infrastructure and applications, and has several advanced features that keep your applications ‘always-on’ in the cloud:
Veritas Alta Application Resiliency also has a Virtual Business Service (VBS) feature that enables you to manage multi-tier applications as single consolidated entities. Using VBS, you can completely automate the recovery or migration of a complex multi-tier IT service in cloud, hybrid-cloud, and multi-cloud environments – which helps simplify operations and eliminate downtime.
Veritas Alta Application Resiliency includes Veritas Alta Shared Storage, which has a feature called Flexible Storage Sharing (FSS). FSS allows you to use cloud-native block storage services such as AWS EBS and Azure managed disk to create secure, enterprise grade shared storage that can be used within an application cluster. Veritas storage eliminates security concerns that arise with NFS storage which is inherently less secure and is visible by default to all systems across the network – which can expose your data to unauthorized users who may be able to gain access to your cloud environment.

Using Veritas Alta Shared Storage in your cloud environment also provides better performance than cloud native NFS storage services which are often not suitable for enterprise applications with more demanding performance requirements. Some key benefits of using Veritas Alta Shared Storage in the cloud:
Migrating to the cloud can be challenging, and at some point, you may need to repatriate applications to an on-premises datacenter. Veritas Alta Application Resiliency enables the migration of nearly any application to the cloud and can also help you repatriate your applications to on-premises datacenters if need arises. Using Veritas Alta Application Resiliency to help with cloud migrations gives you:
