Agenda
Context – an era of disruption The role of backup in IT transformation The role of archive in IT transformation Market Landscape overview Emerging and future trends
We are living through an era of disruption…
1. Enormous pressure on IT to do ‘more with less’ 2. Movement to IT-as-a-Service 3. Major shifts in end-user computing 4. Secular changes in IT supplier market
Evolution of backup/recovery
The last decade has seen transformation of backup environment
Backup was broken, until dedupe came along, then… Deduplication tech made disk-based backup viable Massively reduced reliance on tape-only backup IT depts better equipped to meet backup window Recovery times improved Overall backup process become more efficient
But there are still plenty of issues in Backup and Recovery
Challenges
Backup viewed as an ‘insurance policy’ in austerity era More data, more devices, less time to backup Backup infrastructure more fragmented, complex, than ever!
Virtualization changes everything!
Impact of BYOD – an emerging (and hot) issue
Opportunity
It’s time for a fresh approach – transforming backup/recovery can help transform the business Evolve backup/recovery from a cost center to a value center Move to more integrated backup/recovery strategy
What enterprises are telling us?
Dealing with data growth
‘I call it data hoarding. People don't know what to keep, what to get rid of, what to archive, so they just keep everything. It's not the money for the raw storage, it's the backup costs, from a time, protection, restoring perspective.’
Rationalizing/eliminating tape
‘At remote sites we have a server with a tape drive in it, and that's where the backups occur. I've been charged with eliminating tape.’ ‘We are eliminating tape; going to disk-to-disk by next year.’
Improving the backup/recovery process
‘We do a good job on backups, recovery still takes too long.’ ‘Trying to cut our costs around DR and backup. Too many tools.’
Poor ‘data copy management’ exacerbates capacity growth

Transforming Archiving
Challenges
Not viewed as a ‘must have’ – a ‘nice to have’ insurance policy More data = more risk Growing GRC burden Enterprises still treat backup and archive as the same thing Businesses don’t manage information, they manage data Is ‘keep everything forever’ a viable strategy?

What enterprises are telling us – Archiving
‘Regulatory compliance is requiring a great amount of data backed up and archived.’ ‘We are basically saving everything. We have no corporate archiving strategy, so our databases grow and grow.’ ‘We need to move stale data to lower-cost storage.’ ‘It took us a year to get a storage retention policy in place.’ ‘Difficult to make a good business case for archiving because it's so expensive. It's burdensome, but financially more efficient to have poor archiving.’
Transforming Archiving
Opportunity
Enable an “information governance” strategy Move from reactive to pro-active Shift to intelligent, unified, active archiving Unburden primary storage/servers Start to leverage data in new and interesting ways

Technology Heat Index ®
: Is a measure of “market opportunity.” The Technology Heat Index gauges “user demand” for a technology based on two factors: 1) how likely organizations are to start using a technology for the first time, and 2) the size of an organization’s budget for the particular IT sector. The more likely a technology is to be implemented in the near-term, the higher score it receives.

Future trends in Backup/Recovery and Archive
Backup/Recovery
Becoming more VM ‘aware’ Greater use of snapshot technologies – how integrate with backup?
Consolidation of physical and virtual backup environment Impact of Flash and infrastructure convergence on backup?
Increased penetration of ‘hybrid’ cloud backup, especially among SMEs Mobile device backup becoming a top-of-mind issue for CIOs
Archiving
A good archiving strategy is simply a good business practice Shift towards holistic Information Governance Can these ‘Big Data’ repositories be leveraged for other purposes?
