Good story on this topic.
We run Legato for our SAN-based backup environments and Veritas for our
remote non-SAN equipped offices, thus giving us a relationship with both
companies.

Last week the Veritas rep takes us out for lunch and was REALLY trying hard
to get some leverage on the SAN backup business.  I finally broke him down
and he told me that for every $5,000USD in sales he gets from an existing
Legato account before the end of the year, he gets one chance at a Porsche
911.  Pretty nice sales incentive.  He also told us he would convert any
Legato license at no cost.  We just had to pay maintenance on the licenses.
Talk about a buyer's market!

Anybody else getting lunches from Veritas?

It's me again. Somehow the link to the site was removed or didn't work.

Just go to Veritas website and you can see in their front page the
link.
