Upcoming Events
March 21, 2012 - Better Backup with ExaGrid (Buffalo)
As backup windows continue to shrink and the problems of tape backup become increasingly unacceptable, more and more IT professionals looking to move off tape, face a confusing landscape of backup alternatives.
Tape can be replaced by straight disk, a cloud-based service in some cases, backup software deduplication plus disk, or a disk backup appliance with deduplication--but the capabilities and costs of each alternative are different.
- Which offers the fastest backup and restore times?
- Which scales as your data grows without hidden costs or disruption?
- What are the true TCO considerations?
- Which requires the least amount of IT management time?
Join an expert from ExaGrid Systems who will answer these questions, share customer case studies, and help you understand the factors to consider when evaluating various backup alternatives for your environment.
