Intention of this Web Site
This
web site was established in order to give you the
latest information about the available versions.
It also provides you with the location of these
releases. What you can also find is a known issues
list which you should check before you submit any
defects.
-
Support
As already announced
during the qualification for the Beta test phase,
you will get support directly from the Data Protector
lab. Each new defect you submit will be tracked
internally by the Data Protector team. We will work
on it as soon as possible and we will get back to
you if we know where the problem is.
-
Defect Reporting
You can
go to the defect reporting page in order to submit
defects you found during your tests.
In addition
there will be a section that gives you a detailed
overview on defects that have already been found
by other beta customers so that you can easily identify
if the defect that you have found is already known.
Every new defect that you submit will earn you a
WOB
Credit.
-
Latest Versions
Also in
the near future, as soon as the first beta version
is available you will be able to download it by
a mouse click. We will setup a beta ftp server where
we will keep the files. Please consider that a NDA
will be required. This is a step part of the
registration.
