The ability to replicate data between data centers as it changes is an essential ingredient of any enterprise class storage system. Data centers count on this capability as the foundational component in their disaster recovery (DR) plans. But this foundation…
For many, there’s lots of room for improvement when it comes to protecting data in a virtualized environment. During a recent Storage Swiss webinar, “The Five Ways Backup Design Can Impact Virtualized Data Protection”, we asked the audience what they…
There is a new breed of backup applications that is gaining acceptance in data centers of all sizes, including the enterprise: VM Specific Backup Applications. These solutions were designed from the ground up, with virtualization in mind and they do…
Veeam and data protection applications like it, arm data protection professionals with a new set of capabilities that they didn’t have access to in the past. So powerful are these capabilities that they can justify the acceleration to a 100%…
VM specific backup solutions like Veeam are increasingly being used to protect virtualized environments instead of more traditional enterprise backup systems. They provide a seamless way to non-disruptively and efficiently backup virtual machine data plus they include a number of…
Data protection can be challenging since virtualized applications typically have various recovery point and recovery time (RPO/RTO) objectives. Replication provides applications with near zero RPOs and when configured with redundant server infrastructure, it can also provide near instantaneous RTO. But…
This week in San Francisco, we spent a lot of time meeting with all the new and emerging companies in the storage market. We talked about hot topics like flash storage and server side storage. It came as a surprise…
Virtualization specific backup applications, like Veeam, are the fastest growing segment of the data protection market, and for good reason. They promise to provide better, faster and more accurate data protection, while almost eliminating application recovery times. But the challenge…
Hybrid arrays vendors were out to get some respect at the Flash Memory Summit. Tegile was one of them, but their approach to hybrid systems has a distinctive all-flash feel. Their recently announced T3800 is an all-flash array that can…
IT professionals expect a lot from their storage systems; they want volume management, thin provisioning, snapshot, clones, automated tiering, replication etc. Increasingly today, they want deduplication and compression as well, so they can squeeze every ounce of capacity out of…
