Business issues driving
change in data protection
Data is growing at 100% per year
Weekend backup windows are non-existent
Remote office data is poorly protected
Regulatory requirements driving systems that can guarantee
years/decades of reliable data retention
Dozens of isolated & independent storage, protection, and
management tools – complexity leads to increased risk of
data loss
Tape-based backup/restore & archiving systems are time
consuming to manage, unreliable
Backup tapes are getting stolen, misplaced, and lost in
shipment & offsite storage facilities – huge security hole
Site disaster recovery systems are unaffordable and complex
to manage.
