2. Painting the Picture
• IDC projects that the amount of information that is
created in the world - the digital universe - will reach
40ZB by 2020
• More than 66% of companies are virtualizing their
workloads
• Data loss causes $1.7 Trillion in costs around the
globe per year

3. Storage Challenges
• Exponential data growth and long-term retention
• Virtualization and cloud are forcing data centers to
rethink their approach
• How do businesses deploy a cost-effective, reliable
and scalable storage solution to meet the demand
now and in the future

6. Veeam Environments
• Storage choice will depend on your capacity and
performance needs
• VMs are relatively low capacity
• Veeam has excellent and simple to deploy solutions
for small (few TBs or less) using cheap, internal
HDD
• For larger deployments, using dedicated data
movers, SAN storage and snapshots is superior
