Snapshots can be used to create quicker Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and more aggressive
Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs). In less than 9 minutes NetBackup’s snapshot technology
backed up 1,000 Virtual Machines. NetBackup is a leader in snapshot technology, while
Competitor "E" does not support array-based snapshot integration for VMware workloads.
FINDINGS:
NETBACKUP REQUIRES LESS THAN 9 MINUTES TO
BACK UP 1,000 VMs USING ARRAY-BASED SNAPSHOTS.
COMPETITOR “E” DOES NOT SUPPORT
ARRAY-BASED SNAPSHOTS.
FINDINGS:
NETBACKUP IS 3x FASTER THAN
COMPETITOR “E” WHEN BACKING UP 1,000 VMs.

Lower times are better when it comes to backup windows. NetBackup saves
time, especially in large scale environments. As the environment scaled from
100 to 200, 400 and then 1,000 virtual machines, there were dramatic
increases in the time required by Competitor "E" to perform the backups.
