Protecting data is becoming increasingly complex and fraught with risk. Today, business data resides on everything from centralized, virtualized server infrastructure to public cloud software applications, to end user mobile edge devices. Finding a way to reliably and efficiently protect…
The backup process has a myriad of costs associated with them. There is the obvious cost of the hardware – backup servers, backup storage and network infrastructure. There is also the cost of operations to manage the backup process. One…
The cost of storage is important in all data-dependent companies, but in hyper-scale environments like web-based enterprises, it can literally consume the business. With the simultaneous requirements of scalable capacity, reliability and availability, these organizations face serious challenges with storage…
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,…
Thanks to an easy-to-measure return on investment (ROI) most data centers’ virtual server environments are growing rapidly. Many organizations have implemented a “virtualize first” policy, where all new servers are virtualized. In addition, legacy servers are being migrated to virtual…
Backup infrastructure is somewhat like an expensive insurance policy. Large premiums are expended on backup hardware, software and people resources to collect, store and protect business information in the event a “claim”, or in this instance, a data recovery event…
While the applications that protect data have vastly improved over the last 20 years, they still often struggle to keep up with the technical challenges of data growth, shrinking backup and recovery windows and demands for greater disaster resilience. At…
Organizations of all sizes are delivering mission critical applications to users and customers that are built on Microsoft SQL. But many of these organizations lack the time, skill sets and tools required to develop a capable data protection strategy. Instead…
It is no surprise that backup related expenditures represent a major cost center for most data center environments. As data grows, so grows the need to increase the hardware and software resources for protecting this information. Denser disk and tape…
