Disk-based Backup: 5 Critical Considerations for Cost-effective Scalability
sponsored by ExaGrid Systems, Inc.

Data Growth is a constant problem. As your company grows, so does the amount of data it generates, as well as the amount of storage capacity needed to properly backup and retain the data. A disk-based backup system is probably your best bet -- but how do you decide which system is best for your company's needs and most importantly, determine the system's scalability?

Download this Webcast to discover the most critical scalability and cost considerations you should keep in mind as you make your purchasing decision.

Organizations of all sizes are facing the dilemma of how to backup increasing amounts of data while reducing their reliance on traditional tape-based systems. Fortunately the cost of SATA disk has fallen in recent years, making disk-based backup systems more affordable. How do you ensure that the disk-based backup system you choose grows as your data grows? The scalability of the disk-based backup system must be considered.

In this Webcast, you will find detailed answers to the following 5 key cost-effective scalability questions:

  • Can the system size to your current requirements and accommodate near-term data growth without requiring you to purchase more initial capacity than needed?
  • Does the system enable you to keep all of your backup history and retention on disk cost-effectively?
  • Can you cost-effectively add capacity to the system without disruption or added complexity?
  • Does the system maintain leading backup and restore performance as capacity is added?
  • Does the system's core architecture scale along with your data?
