As recently discussed by Stephen Aldous, Principal Product Manager for Carbonite, and George Crump, Storage Switzerland’s Lead Analyst, backup purchases are difficult to budget for and are often an afterthought. Additionally, backup infrastructure typically jumps from periods of underutilization, to periods of oversubscription.
Cloud services stand to alleviate this pain. Infrastructure can be procured and spun up nearly instantly and on demand, and the storage manager no longer needs to worry about capacity planning or system upgrades. However, not all cloud services were created equal when it comes to supporting enterprise-caliber workload requirements. Learn more about what to look for in your backup storage service by watching Storage Switzerland’s on demand webinar with Carbonite, “Five Critical Enterprise Cloud Backup Capabilities”.
