The traditional backup and data recovery model focuses on protecting large data sets – or millions of small files – located across distributed physical assets. While this approach to data protection is still a dominant one, it isn’t the only one.
The emergence of virtualization — and resulting hybrid environments – has reduced data center footprint and cost, it has also added complexity in that companies now need to secure tremendous amounts of data on a single, physical asset in addition to protecting distributed data sets across multiple servers.
Securing these living IT infrastructures and protecting the massively growing amounts of data is challenging for limited IT resources. As companies’ data centers evolve to accommodate physical, virtual and cloud systems, so must their data protection strategies. It’s this evolution that has really brought new life to the backup and data recovery market.
The best backup and recovery solutions today protect data across heterogeneous environments and easily adapt to agile IT infrastructures. In other words, these solutions provide IT with the flexibility to evolve their data centers as business requirements change, while remaining confident that their data is protected regardless of the environment it resides in.
Another major change in the industry is the demand for easy-to-use plug and play appliances. It’s no surprise that IT departments today are resource-constrained and looking to get maximum value from their technology purchases. As such, there is high demand for all-in-one solutions that can be plugged in and trusted to back up and quickly restore data without requiring tremendous IT resources.
