BUSINESSES SPEND BILLIONS each year on backup solutions that eventually age out and need to be replaced. Administrators who have managed a backup solution can attest to the headache that results. Aging hardware begins to experience failures, backup volumes begin to exceed the storage capacity and backup windows available, and archive data on tape media must be migrated to new storage before the old tape drive can be decommissioned.
In the world of backup and data protection some of the top legacy challenges companies are facing include:
Reliable backup job completion
Painless database re-orgs
Improved restore performance
Migrate away from proprietary technologies
Evict multiple backup products
Oust old software versions
ANALYTICS AND AUTOMATION TO THE RESCUE
