Organizations need a holistic protection strategy, a single platform or solution, to handle the variety of data types and workloads as opposed to integrating a number of disparate point solutions, which proves to be costly and time consuming.

PBBA systems provide more value and utility to customers than solutions cobbled together with general-purpose disk and software…. In addition, integrated PBBA solutions allow customers to extend their data protection and recovery infrastructure quickly and easily by allowing them to add media servers.
