IвЂ™m pretty sure I understand where the camps line up here.Veritas Backup Exec is backup and recovery software that runs on Windows Server. The other is to work very very hard to be able to afford to offer customers low margins. One is to work very, very hard to convince customers to pay high margins. вЂњThere are two ways to build a successful company. I think Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, said it best the other day when he noted: IвЂ™m always amazed at the pricing of the вЂњbigвЂќ companies like Symantec, CommVault, Tivoli, and others. In the Backup Exec 3600 original article, I compared the Backup Exec 3600 at $25K MSRP to the Unitrends byte-level, content-aware, deduplicating backup appliance with 6TB raw storage for less than $15K MSRP (thatвЂ™s theВ Recovery-713.) For less than $30K MSRP, you can buy a Unitrends Recovery-823 which has 19TB of raw storage. I donвЂ™t think that Symantec is ripping anyone off on the appliance versus the raw cost of the software вЂ“ Backup Exec 2010 is an awfully expensive application once you start adding all the various licenses and feature costs. You can find at some of the website discounts for a price ranging from $22K to $25K вЂ“ thus the reseller I spoke to was pretty much right if you talk about вЂњstreetвЂќ pricing. I was wrong about the MSRP base pricing вЂ“ which a reseller had told me would be $25K вЂ“ itвЂ™s higher than that. Since the time I wrote that, pricing has become more readily available. Also, there are some matrix-based competitive analysis pages up for Backup Exec 2010 and the Backup Exec 3600.) (Note: If you want more information concerning the backup appliance itself, see the link above. Hey вЂ“ one of the more popular blog postings here recently has been the one on the Backup Exec 3600В вЂ“ so I thought IвЂ™d do a follow-up since at the time of the posting the pricing for the device was only rumored.
