- Scale-Out vs. Scale-Up: Why Backup Storage Architecture Matters
  
  Sponsored by Exagrid - Is the world of IT drowning in data? Experts estimate that organizations this year are generating more than 2.5 exabytes (2,500,000,000,000,000,000 bytes) of new data—every day. With various experts predicting that the compound annual growth rate of data will increase from 33% to over 60%, one thing is clear: You’re going to need more storage and soon. See More
- When Disaster Strikes, Backup Storage Matters
  
  Sponsored by Exagrid - For data centers, uptime isn’t the most important thing—it’s the only thing that matters. According to Ponemon Institute, the cost of downtime now exceeds $9,000 a minute, putting the per-hour cost of downtime over a half-million dollars. Many organizations reported unplanned outages that soared into the millions of dollars until systems could be fully restored to operational status. See More
- Avoiding the Hidden Costs of Backup
  
  Sponsored by Exagrid - It can be difficult to fathom the total lifetime cost of backup storage. Of course, there is the initial outlay for storage capacity, which, in the simplest form, is the amount of data to be backed up times the number of retention copies plus yearly data growth. In a world where everything seems to be software defined—even infrastructure as code—having everything readily available and backed up, including virtual machines and containers, is more important than ever. See More
- It’s Restores That Matter for User Productivity
  
  Sponsored by Exagrid - Backup performance is one thing, but separately, restores can be difficult—and it is restores that keep end users productive. Files get deleted, overwritten, corrupted, encrypted, etc., and users need them to stay productive. Slow restores result in lost user productivity, and those costs add up to millions of dollars per year. How big is this problem? Incredibly, a recent TechTarget study found that backups fail almost 40% of the time, rendering restores ineffective while instilling a false confidence in many IT organizations. See More
