How Veritas is getting its cloud on

Bill Coleman, a 25-year veteran of the tech industry, became Veritas Technologies' CEO a little over a year ago. He's been leading the charge to help the software vendor transition from selling legacy point storage products to creating an integrated information-management platform. The goal is to provide something that's agnostic -- will work in the cloud or on-premises or both -- and that won't require customers to invest in a constant stream of upgrades to get there.

I want to spend some more time talking about the cloud strategy and go into a little more depth on that. Before we do that, when you are finished rolling out this data management platform, how will that change the competitive landscape? Who will you view as your competitors at that point and how will it change the existing competitive relationships?
