Backup has changed a lot over the years, from servers and tape drives to disk backup appliances and deduplication. But it needs to change again as companies save unstructured data sets for longer periods of time, need fast access to stored files and even run VMs directly from the backup appliance.
Unfortunately, people are making some assumptions that are causing some problems with their backup storage.
1) Assuming it’s an archive that can grow forever
2) Assuming it can support production applications
3) Assuming dedupe can improve data recovery
These assumptions are driving new requirements for enterprise backup, which are detailed in the upcoming StorageSwiss webinar. Click here to register for the webinar.
