VTL & D2D Backup
Backup has become a
business imperative for most organizations due to human errors
(deleting a file or an email), catastrophic disasters (natural or otherwise),
hardware or infrastructure malfunction (unplanned power outage) etc.
Successful business
continuity requires that corporate data is reliably backed up and
available to your employees. In addition, governmental regulations also
mandate specific levels of data backup and restoration, which adds new
requirements to corporate data availability.
As your business
flourishes, the volume of data that needs to be backed up grows. However,
you backup time frame has not increased. In fact, it might have reduced
due to globalization. Moreover, the backed up data also needs to be
retained for a longer period of time, thereby keeping more data online
than being archived.
Together, these
conditions require that data administrators build a backup and restore
process that is very fast and highly reliable.
Enter Disk-to-Disk Backup Technology
To address these challenges, more enterprises
are turning to disk-based backup solutions in conjunction with existing
tape technologies. Supplementing your tape backup environment with
disk-to-disk backup technologies can deliver several significant
benefits:
- Transparent and seamless integration with
applications, current backup infrastructure and backup policies.
- Reduce backup window and shrink restoration
from days to minutes.
- Offer simplification of offsite data
transfers.
- Optional Single Instancing of duplicate
data to reduce the capacity of storage needed.
