Thanks to virtualization and improved abilities in backup software, the data protection process has become easier to implement and operate but unlike other technologies, it has not become less expensive. Whether the licensing strategy is module based or capacity based, the process of maintaining licensing and support as well as paying for those costs has become an increasing problem for data centers. Indeed, various industry sources cite that data is doubling every two years while 70% of IT budgets merely go to maintaining what’s already on the data center floor.
In this webinar, George Crump, Lead Analyst with Storage Switzerland and Eran Farajun, EVP of Asigra, discuss the current state of backup software technology and delve into the rationalization of the various, licensing strategies on the market. They also introduce a new licensing model based on data recovery that promises an easier to manage and more cost effective way to acquire backup and recovery software.
