Partner Motivations Remove customer confusion Greater backup functionality for their customers Partner has finer control of what to back up and how Enable zero downtime backup Create a better user experience Have technology in place to support other VMware products Starts the development effort for cloud backup, acceleration Avoid the need for additional code in the VM for backup purposes Less intrusive upgrade process since no code is in the guest

10 Confidential Who loves vStorage APIs for Data Protection? This has been our largest and most feature-rich release we have attempted on the Backup Exec product line and introduces a large number of positive changes for our Backup Exec Agent for VMware. Peter Imming, Product Manager, Backup Exec Symantec We are integrating the vStorage APIs into our 4.2 product as we speak. We will be kicking VCB to the curb and NOT using it in our 4.x products!
