Where did I see that name before?

If you have been reading storage blogs lately you have heard about EMC's Atmos annoucement. I won't comment much on the platform, there are enough pundits doing that. There is one simple inescapable fact, storage devices and storage software that allow one to create simple and clear policies for what needs to be done are in demand now and will be in even greater demand in the future.

NetBackup’s Storage Lifecycle Policies are a great example of this. Combining this capability with Open Storage seems to have even convinced at least one of the backup industry's most trusted raconteurs.

Maintenance Release 3 (MR3)

Security
09-26-2008

My team has been diligently working over the past few months to produce what I believe is the best endpoint security solution on the market. I would like to take the opportunity to share some of the latest results of what the team has accomplished.

Maintenance Release 3 (MR3) shipped to manufacturing just a few days ago. Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) has come a long way since the initial release. In this release, we focused on improving the overall performance of both the management server and client. This week we’ll take a look at the improvements that have been made to the client and then I’ll follow this up with some of the enhancements we made on the management server.

Although considerable improvements have been made to each release, the goal for MR3 was to improve the performance to exceed that of previous versions of SEP, SAV and that of our competitors. As you can see from the charts below, MR3 has improved the boot time dramatically.
