7 REASONS TO USEAN INTEGRATED PURPOSE-BUILTBACKUP APPLIANCE (PBBA)

PLUG, PLAY AND GOAn integrated, purpose-built backup appliance (PBAA) can bring rapid relief to IT organizations that need efficient options to better protect and recover growing volumes of data.

Not sure if an integrated appliance is right for your infrastructure? CONSIDER THESE SEVEN REASONS TO FIND OUT.

Integrated appliances include pre-configured backup software, server and storage hardware, and support in a single solution. That means there’s only one vendor to buy from, making life easier for your procurement team and your budget.

ONE

THEY’RE EASY TO BUY

THEY’RE SIMPLE TO DEPLOYBecause an integrated backup appliance is already pre-configured, it’s ready to go, right out of the box. The solution is typically validated for specific workloads and optimized for immediate use. In some instances a backup appliance can be deployed in as little as under one hour, saving valuable IT resources and minimizing implementation headaches.

TWO

THERE’S A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT

Unlike when you purchase software and hardware components separately, an integrated appliance will give you the benefit of having a single point of contact for all your support needs. One call supports both the appliance’s hardware and software components, saving you time and eliminating vendor finger-pointing.

THREE

YOU GET OUT-OF-THE-BOX SCALABILITY

When integrating separate hardware and software solutions, adding capacity can require reconfiguring the storage, costing valuable time and money. An integrated backup appliance should enable plug and play scaling for compute and/or storage capacity without having to reconfigure your environment.

FOUR

THERE’S FLEXIBILITY TO ADD MORE

As your storage requirements grow, an integrated backup appliance should easily grow with you, meaning you should be able to easily combine appliances as your capacity needs grow. The best appliances should allow you to deduplicate across appliances to increase your resiliency and scalability. This not only gives you flexibility, but also provides investment protection over time.

FIVE

YOU’LL SAVE ON MANAGEMENT COSTS

Integrated appliances include pre-configured backup software, server and storage hardware, and support in a single solution. That means there’s only one vendor to buy from, making life easier for your procurement team and your budget.

SIX

IT’LL GROW WITH YOUR ENVIRONMENT

What if your appliance could do even more? While it doesn’t have to if you don’t want it to, an advanced integrated backup appliance can deliver additional expansion capabilities – such as snapshot management, archiving, tape, and search and eDiscovery – all in a single console providing true investment protection.

SEVEN

PURPOSE-BUILT BACKUP, EXPERTLY INTEGRATED.
