Meet the gold standard in data protection and business continuity with Veritas Alta Enterprise Resiliency + Essential Support. This 1-year subscription license is designed for organizations that demand robust resilience across hybrid environments, delivering automated failover, rapid recovery, and continuous data protection. Packaged for academic institutions through Veritas Academic Licensing Program (ALP), it combines powerful enterprise features with flexible pricing, enabling schools, universities, and research centers to safeguard essential operations without compromising budget. The 1 Core Plus license gives your deployment the performance headroom needed to manage complex workloads, protect mission-critical applications, and maintain uptime even in the face of hardware failures, ransomware events, or site outages. Whether you’re modernizing on-premises data centers, extending resilience to the cloud, or orchestrating multi-site DR plans, this subscription brings enterprise-grade resiliency within reach of academic teams and IT staff who value reliability, scalability, and peace of mind.

• Comprehensive enterprise resiliency for hybrid environments: Veritas Alta Enterprise Resiliency provides end-to-end data protection across on-premises data centers, private clouds, and public clouds. It orchestrates continuous data protection, automated failover and failback, and policy-driven recovery workflows to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity during planned maintenance or unplanned outages. With this solution, you can protect diverse workloads—from databases and virtual machines to file services and critical applications—under a unified resiliency strategy that simplifies operations and reduces recovery time objectives (RTOs).
• 1 Core Plus licensing with scalable performance: The Core Plus option unlocks robust processing power to handle intensive resiliency tasks, large-scale replication, and multiple recovery targets. This license level is designed for mid-to-large academic deployments that require steady performance under peak workloads, multiple replication streams, and rapid startup sequences after an incident. The 1-year term provides predictable budgeting while giving you access to the latest resiliency features and updates as they become available, keeping your environment current without extra licensing complexity.
• Essential support included for dependable help when you need it most: Essential Support ensures access to Veritas technical experts, standard response times, and guidance during critical recovery scenarios. This coverage helps IT teams maintain confidence in the resiliency plan, expedite issue resolution, and receive important patch and security updates. With proactive health checks, patch advisories, and access to a knowledge base, you can stay ahead of potential problems before they impact users or business services.
• Academic pricing and ALP advantages: As part of the Veritas Academic Licensing Program, institutions can access enterprise-grade resiliency at a more affordable price point through ALP. This makes it feasible for classrooms, labs, and research centers to equip themselves with state-of-the-art data protection capabilities. The academic license structure is aligned with academic calendars and procurement cycles, supporting ongoing education and research initiatives while preserving valuable teaching and learning time.
• Centralized management with policy-based automation: The platform provides a centralized console for defining policies, monitoring health, and executing automated recovery workflows. Policy-based automation reduces manual intervention, improves repeatability, and eliminates the guesswork often associated with disaster recovery. You can tailor protection plans for different data domains, assign roles and permissions to IT staff, and generate audit-ready reports that demonstrate compliance with internal standards and external regulations.
