Business Challenge

The accelerating growth and deployment of server virtualization within the data center introduces a new set of challenges in managing and protecting volumes of data on physical and virtual systems. Backup and recovery becomes much more complex because backup windows cannot be met across many servers, the servers become overloaded, new virtual machines appear out of nowhere and need to be protected, and licensing models are complex. This dramatically increases administrator workload, impacts performance, and threatens data protection.
