This document discusses how organizations can reduce costs and complexity with backup-free storage. Traditional backup operations are stressed by the growth of unstructured data. Numerous systems with large files and duplicate data increase backup times and hurt production system performance. Costs and complexity rise as more backup instances, tapes, and offsite storage need managing. Archiving static data to reduce total backup volume by at least 30% can help address these issues. Attending the webcast discussed would allow learning how to lower expenses, control maintenance costs, simplify management complexity, and reduce backup volumes, times, costs and effort through backup-free storage approaches.
