SUPERIOR WINDOWS DATA 
MANAGEMENT 
 
Today’s administrators face an overwhelming 
challenge when it comes to storage and how to 
manage the ever-increasing growth of data. Most 
administrators react to this challenge by adding 
storage capacity. However, this reaction is only a 
temporary solution that does not address the real 
issue – valuable storage resources are being 
wasted on inappropriate, non-business files. This 
waste is a direct result of users’ careless storage 
habits, lack of effective policy, and poor storage 
management. 
 
VERITAS Storage Exec
TM
 
VERITAS Storage Exec
TM
 helps organizations 
manage and control rampant storage growth. With 
Storage Exec, organizations can reclaim up to 30% 
of wasted storage space and reduce future growth. 
Not only does this maximize use of storage 
resources, but it also leads to faster, more efficient 
backups and improved server performance. 
 
Taking Control of Storage Resources 
Administrators need help to be more proactive in 
managing storage resources more effectively.
