Our backups are taking longer and longer. The resulting strain on my staff and IT infrastructure is restricting our performance and ability to embrace new technologies. What should we do?” You need to find a way to simplify and streamline your backups to beat the backup window and meet even the strictest recovery SLAs, without compromising data protection.

“Our backups are taking longer and longer. The resulting strain on my staff and
IT infrastructure is restricting our performance and ability to embrace new
technologies. What should we do?”
You need to find a way to simplify and streamline your backups to beat the
backup window and meet even the strictest recovery SLAs, without compromising
data protection.
“So, where do we start?”
Step 1 – Consolidate multiple backup point products – across your virtual, physical
and cloud environments – into a single data protection platform. This will reduce
backup complexity and improve visibility and efficiency. It will also free up valuable
administration time that could be focused on more strategic initiatives.
Step 2 – Automate backup policies to backup just data that’s new or changed.
This will remove the backup bottleneck and ensure that all data is being protected,
while reducing the cost of managing it.
Step 3 – Use intelligent deduplication technologies at the source or target to
further reduce the data volume. By doing this, you will be able to minimise the backup
window and improve network performance.
“Is there a solution that can do all of this?”
The Symantec NetBackup Appliance is purpose-built to address the challenges
introduced by expanding data volumes and virtualization, combining scalable
hardware and software into a single, integrated unit.
It comes pre-installed with NetBackup 7.6 software to provide a complete backup
and deduplication solution with snapshot support, file and image based backup,
encryption, and fast recovery – so your team can respond to file restore requests
with ease.
“What are the biggest benefits we can expect?”
When it comes to upgrading or expanding the backup or disaster recovery hardware
infrastructure, many customers follow a traditional path to acquire, build, and
integrate their own servers and storage. But this isn’t the most efficient option.
You can eliminate the time and effort of installing, configuring and maintaining
separate backup and recovery hardware and software components with a single
Symantec NetBackup™ Appliance.
The NetBackup Appliance is quick and easy to deploy, and comes with expandable
storage from 4TB, so you don’t need to buy additional hardware.
Built-in intelligent software helps to reduce backups by up to 50x and network strain
by up to 99%, delivering faster, and more reliable disaster recovery.
