Backup Optimization
Backup Optimization
Most IT organizations have problems with backups. Information growth and 24x7 business operations, combined with the shortcomings of traditional backup technologies, are the main reasons that organizations are struggling. These struggles manifest themselves in the following issues:
- Shrinking backup windows
- Backup failures
- Forward and backward migration of data and other technology issues
- Too many copies of data created
- Difficulty in checking and verifying backups
- Lack of security on tape cartridges
- Slow and cumbersome restores
Solving backup problems with ProStor InfiniVault starts with asking one basic question – "How many times has a file been backed up even though the content has not changed and will likely never change?" Breaking the cycle of continuously backing up static data will improve your backup processes and save money in many ways including:
- Less data means faster backups of the current, most frequently used information
- Faster and smaller backups consume less backup and management resources – fewer tapes, less backup hardware, and fewer software upgrades
- Restores of the dynamic data are much faster
- Static data is always safe and available directly from the ProStor InfiniVault system
