Key Factors in Modernizing Backup and Recovery

There is a definite need for better data protection solutions in today’s enterprise data centres. The question is whether to continue with software-only backup and recovery solutions, or to make the move to a purpose-built backup appliance with deduplication capabilities. Clearly, the simplicity and completeness of the appliance model are attractive, but what other less-obvious considerations should weigh into the decision?

This paper provides a structured approach to assessing the advantages of the appliance model. It summarises the trends that have made modernising backup and recovery an urgent priority, the key requirements for solution offerings, and the unique capabilities of Veritas NetBackup™ Appliances in delivering a simple, complete, and cost-effective solution.
