Data availability and backup is a business issue, not an IT issue
Protecting organizational data is not a choice – it's a necessity that underpins business
performance, reliability, and resiliency. In the Forester Report "The Ongoing IT Struggle:
Delivering Availability 24x7x365," they talk about the increasing number of mission-critical
and business-critical workloads and the demand for Always-On availability. The IT function
has become ever-more critical to business success as the architects of a new era of business
are tasked with delivering a New Style of IT. It is increasingly apparent to CIOs and storage
managers that backup and recovery processes must evolve to harmonize with this new
architecture. The transformation that is already happening in many IT departments today is
increasing the pressure on traditional backup architectures with wide ranging implications.
Data growth continues to be a significant challenge, but others also add pressure to the backup
process. As your infrastructure fills up with data, systems slow down, expenditures on hardware
and resources increase, and the ability to keep pace with service-level agreements (SLAs)
diminishes the ability to meet SLAs. Maintaining service levels in the event of failure is critical,
whether using midrange, high-end, or All-Flash storage. Small enterprises to global services
providers have to ensure Tier-1 storage availability.
The convergence of primary storage and backup software is helping companies address
more stringent services levels. Backup software can now bridge the gap between primary
and secondary storage, allowing the overall solution to work in concert together vs. the siloed
solutions of the past to provide a more comprehensive data protection strategy with availability
for mission-critical applications. Many IT departments today are increasing the pressure on
traditional backup architectures because of lack of capabilities and IT's inability to meet
company demands.
Improving efficiency while removing
cost, risk, and complexity from
data protection.
Solution highlights
Virtualize with confidence
3PAR StoreServ is tightly integrated
with Veeam Backup & Replication to
provide a comprehensive data protection
solution for virtualized environments that
optimizes application availability and
minimizes data loss.
Ensure greater application availability
Leverage storage snapshots for backup
efficiency and reliability.
Get faster, better backups
Accomplish fast, efficient backups with
no impact on virtual machine (VM)
performance and more effective use of
HPE storage resources; accelerate data
recoverability and reduce risk.
Increase return on investment
Decrease management complexity, lower
backup retention costs, and reduce
downtime to enhance the value of
virtualization investments.
When modernizing data centers, high-speed recovery (59%) and data loss
avoidance (57%) are the two most sought-after capabilities; however, cost
and lack of skills is inhibiting deployment, according to CIOs.
