BusinessBusiness issues driving issues drivingchange in data protectionchange 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.
