In this timely webcast presented by The Clipper Group, analysts Dave Reine and Mike Kahn compare SATA disk vs. LTO-4 tape-based solutions in a TCO study that answers the question of "how much will it really cost?" when your CIO and CFO ask for input on a strategic approach to address your backup and archiving needs.
Applying straightforward metrics to acquisition and operating costs over a five year period, Reine and Kahn provide total cost of ownership (TCO) results of both approaches as well as measuring the impact on the bottom line.
In this live Webcast, The Clipper Group reviews the associated costs for each approach to store data long term and determines the real world impact of each approach including:
- SATA disk requirements and costs
- Tape requirements and costs
- Energy costs of the two systems
- Tiered storage approaches
- Cost efficiency in addressing storage growth
- The impact of deduplication
