IT is increasingly a driver of business innovation. But you can’t open
those doors to innovation without first transforming outdated data
protection models. Here’s why – and how – you need to modernize
your organization’s approach to data backup and disaster recovery.

Do you want the peace of mind that you
can recover from failure quickly and
keep your business running nonstop?
Do you want to reduce complexity so
your staff can focus on innovation
instead of administration? Do you want
to capture the value of the cloud to
enhance your existing data protection?
Then now’s the time to

backup strategies5
On-premise backup &
archive: Accelerate
backup performance by
as much as 10x
Cloud-integrated backup & ar-
chive: Reduce backup costs by
up to 90% compared to tape
Asynchronous disaster
recovery: Reduce opera-
tional costs by up to 50%
Synchronous, site-to-site high
availability: Zero data loss, near-
zero downtime
Traditional data protection is
too slow, too expensive, and
too complex to meet rapidly
evolving business needs.
On-premises data
protection solutions are
still important, but the
cloud is offering
opportunities for
additional innovation and
increased efficiency
across the entire data
protection spectrum.
A successful data protection
framework will balance cost
and time requirements across
four key areas of backup and
disaster recovery.
