Adding to Microsoft's momentum in the data storage world, Veritas Software plans to expand the support of a storage resource application for Windows operating systems.

Veritas plans to announce on Monday that a comprehensive version of its StorageCentral 5.2 product will run on Windows Server 2003 and the new Windows Storage Server 2003.

StorageCentral lets companies set quotas on the amount of storage computer users can consume as well as block certain types of files from being stored on corporate machines. The software also can generate reports on storage usage.

Individuals can use StorageCentral Web-based reports to open, move or delete individual files or groups of files by right-mouse clicking on the item, according to the company.

A "light" version of StorageCentral with minimal quota and file-management capabilities and without reporting features has already been built into Windows Storage Server 2003, Veritas spokeswoman Rena Sripramong said.
