10. TREND #1
All-Inclusive Licensing
• Definition
• All features included with the product acquisition price
• More Hype than Reality
• DCIG does see all-inclusive licensing but only on a
relatively small percentage of available offerings
• Common for start-ups or vendors looking to increase
market share to offer this as an option
• Reality
• Bundle most commonly used features
• Charge extra for specialized features

TREND #1
All-Inclusive Licensing

13. Observations
• Available from only a few providers
• Licenses may be capacity-based
• i.e. if you only have a 1 TB license, features are only available
for that terabyte of protected data
• Vendors measure capacity in two ways
– Data under management before it is protected
– Data under management after it is protected
– The latter is generally the more favorable licensing option
• Unrestricted licensing (not tied to capacity)
few and far between
• If a vendor offers it, the devil is in the details

16. • Definition
• Physical or virtual machine preconfigured to run data
protection and/or recovery software
• Physical Appliances a Force in Data Protection
• More than $3 billion spent on purpose built backup
appliances (PBBAs) in last 12 months*
• Virtual Appliances Coming On
• Not included in totals above
• Virtual appliances becoming more commonly available

• Accelerate backup software acquisition and deployment
• Software providers taking time to introduce physical
appliances as they want to do it right
• Those that do offer physical appliance have seen rapid
end user adoption
• Expect to see more backup software providers offer both
physical and virtual appliances
• 30% of deduplicating backup appliance providers offer
virtual appliances

Single Management Console for Data Protection

22. Motivating Factors
• Physical backup here to stay for foreseeable future
• Centralize backup data for physical and virtual apps
• Create common body of backup expertise
TREND #3

• P2P, P2V, V2P, V2V
• Physical or Virtual -> Cloud
TREND #3

24. • Integrating various, existing backup and recovery technologies
under a single console
• Arcserve
• Bundling multiple, complementary products under a single SKU
managed through a single interface
• Dell
• Unitrends
• Creating a data protection virtualization layer
• Leverages existing, in-place backup software
• Overlay it with additional, specific backup functionality
(eg. VM backup) and centrally manage all backups
• Cobalt Iron/IBM TSM
TREND #3
Single Management Console for Data Protection

25. • An emerging trend
• Facilitates taking a best-of-breed approach
to physical and virtual data protection
• All products are in various states of developing
integrated management interface
• Difficult to objectively measure integration
• Minimally test drive integration or get a demo

Recovery
in the Cloud

27. TREND #4
Time to Vote!

28. Definition
Store and then recover your data with a 3rd party cloud provider
and even potentially recover an entire application or even your

TREND #4
Recovery in the Cloud

34. Observations
• All sized enterprises view the cloud as the future of IT
• Midsized enterprises ($1M - $1B in revenue) are
particularly looking at recovery in the cloud
• New providers and capabilities becoming available all
of the time
• Recovery in the cloud and the capabilities available are
a mixed bag
• Using a single cloud provider is probably NOT yet a
reality for most organizations
TREND #4
Recovery in the Cloud

35. • Two of the trends are more hype than reality
• All-inclusive licensing
• Recovery in the cloud
• Provide with extreme caution
• Single management interface for physical and virtual
data protection and virtual appliances are rapidly
maturing and gaining momentum
• Integration may still be at the PowerPoint level
• Proceed with caution
• Physical appliances are the most mature trend
and may be confidently adopted
