Benefits of Single Solution Protection
Organizations need a holistic protection
strategy, a single platform or solution, to
handle the variety of data types and workloads
as opposed to integrating a number of
disparate point solutions, which proves to be
costly and time consuming.
Dave Russell
Gartner Vice President of
Storage Technologies and Strategies

Benefits of Purpose-Built Backup Appliance
PBBA systems provide more value and utility to
customers than solutions cobbled together
with general-purpose disk and software…. In
addition, integrated PBBA solutions allow
customers to extend their data protection and
recovery infrastructure quickly and easily by
allowing them to add media servers.
Robert Amatruda
IDC White Paper: The Evolution and Value of PurposeBuilt Backup Appliances, March 2013, #239730
