WHY YOUNEED A NEWBACKUPSTRATEGY

7 Traditional back up and recovery strategies

simply don’t cut it any more.

Your organization needs a

modernized approach to data and information management, if . . .

1You can’t

meet your

backup window

Your

complexity

is crippling

If you’re like most organizations, you can’t complete full or even

incremental backups during your allotted backup window.

And it’s only getting worse as data grows.

The first step to data protection is actually getting backups done. If your window continues to slip away, your data may be at

significant risk.

72Your performance is

compromised

If streaming backups for key applications requires more network and processor power – and more time – than is typically available, your legacy system is slowing you down.

The more your data grows, the worse your performance impact will be.

Further, any performance degradation on your critical applications may

be causing costly productivity problems for your business.

You can’t reach to the

3 clouds

If your legacy protection models are preventing you from fully implementing – or even starting – your server virtualization projects and cloud initiatives,

you need to consider a more modern approach.

Limited scalability will impact your business growth and agility and

likely slow the realization of organizational goals.

If your workforce has growing amounts of content created on edge devices that is not protected within your corporate controls,

your company’s information could be at risk.

But it’s not enough to systematically protect your edge data, use this opportunity to also empower employees with self-service recovery and secure anywhere, anytime, any device access to their business data.

Your

complexity

is crippling

If managing your backup activities is overly difficult because you have a myriad of point products, cobbled together over time,

your data protection strategy is likely costing you more – in terms of time and expense – than it should.

A single-platform approach to holistic data protection will simplify your infrastructure and improve your organizational performance.

6QuestionYour recoverability is in

If your data recovery processes are slow, and far from granular, it’s time to consider a new approach. This is even more urgent if your recovery isn’t a sure thing.

Any risk of data loss can be costly to your business, even devastating

It doesn’t matter at all how well your backup process works if you can’t recover data when you need it – both quickly and efficiently.

7Your tiered storage has you in tears

If you’ve invested in an efficient tiered-storage infrastructure but you have yet to realize its full potential,

it’s time to reconsider your data protection approaches.

Find a solution that lets you seamlessly and automatically store critical data near the original data for quick, granular restores, and move older backups off to less costly storage tiers, including seamlessly to the cloud.
