Overview:
We are beginning to see the next generation of backup and recovery solutions appear. The time consuming backup and recovery processes of the past are becoming obsolete as the amount of time spent in the traditional backup window has steadily decreased. Data protection has become the most critical IT discipline and businesses have historically chosen the simplest approach to perform this task. However the simplest approach, such as creating a full backup to tape, is no longer economical nor does it provide the highest availability when compared to the next generation solutions.

Today’s IT environments are demanding a more comprehensive strategy for data protection, security and high-availability than ever before based on numerous causes of data loss. Data recovery options must align with application and business requirements in order to yield the highest availability. New data protection solutions led by Data Domain’s deduplication architecture are quickly gaining market momentum improving data and application availability while increasing the probability for a business to survive most types of outages.
