Veritas Scraps ServPoint Strategy: Page 2 of 2

Veritas was competing head to head with Network Appliance Inc. (Nasdaq: NTAP) in this space, and to a lesser degree with Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT). It turns out its ambition to sell this product as a software-only solution did not gel with customers. "They want an integrated, turnkey NAS solution," a Veritas spokesman said. In other words, the hardware and software together.

Other companies participating in the Veritas Powered Program -- each of which could potentially integrate the ServPoint software with their hardware -- include 3PARdata Inc., Adaptec Inc. (Nasdaq: ADPT), Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO), Emulex Corp. (NYSE: ELX), Inrange Technologies Corp. (Nasdaq: INRG), Maranti Networks, McData Corp. (Nasdaq: MCDTA), NEC Corp. (Nasdaq: NIPNY), Pirus Networks (acquired by Sun Microsystems Inc. [Nasdaq: SUNW]), QLogic Corp. (Nasdaq: QLGC), Rhapsody Networks (acquired by Brocade Communications Systems Inc. [Nasdaq: BRCD]), and XIOtech Corp.
