SEPATON conducted a survey of enterprise corporations to define and quantify data protection challenges, business objectives, and technology requirements for enterprise data centers in the coming year. Download this survey to learn:
• Key data protection challenges facing enterprises
• Business objectives and technical requirements
• Data protection technologies currently in use and planned for the next year
• Impact of current economic downturn on enterprise data protection

Challenge: Protect a mixed UNIX/mainframe environment with an integrated system

Challenge: Reduce backup and restore times and meet regulatory compliance

Reduce 48-hour full backup to meet ISO 9001 obligations

Challenge: Cut backup times, meet stringent RTO requirements, reduce capacity requirements

Challenge: Reduce backup window and streamline restore process

Small and medium sized companies can meet these objectives by simply copying data to physical tape and shipping the tapes to an off-site storage facility. They can also replicate data over their network with a disk-based backup system. However, solutions that would suffice for smaller organizations–like tape and many disk-based solutions–lack the performance, capacity, and automation necessary to meet the needs of large, data intensive organizations. This article describes the five key factors to consider when choosing an enterprise disaster recovery solution.

This report describes the state of the green data center: why the challenge is very real, what technologies exist today to counter that challenge, and why innovative software that shrinks and streamlines storage is key to evolving the green data center. It goes on to position SEPATON's role as a "key vendor" in this market.

This report delivers results of a recent survey conducted by InfoStor regarding in enterprise data protection (data backup and recovery). It features information on what data protection initiatives are viewed as most important and key drivers of change in the backup environment. It also takes a pulse on key issues, including compliance, disaster recovery and Green IT.
