Corporate information is forecast to grow five-fold in the next 4 years. (or Corporate
information continues to grow at over 60 percent per year.)
Since backup typically entails multiple copies over time, the amount of data held
in backup environments may grow at eight times that rate.
Coupled with that, more and more critical information is residing outside the data
centre in local offices and other distributed locations. These factors have often
broken the traditional model of backup. Tape-based backup is too slow to meet backup
and recovery requirements, and network limitations have meant that protecting distributed
data on any scale is an expensive or impossible task.
Infront’s Next-Generation backup offerings are focused on helping solve these
challenges. This new approach to backup needs to combine traditional and emerging
technologies with the principles of active archiving. Infront realises that Backup
and Archive are fundamentally different but are intrinsically linked. By reducing
the primary system size through active archiving, you will have less data to backup
and manage.
Infront provides a range of professional services for assessing, implementing and
managing a Next-Generation backup environment. All of these capabilities are integrated
with the enterprise applications, file systems and email applications that run your
business today.
