2. © 2010 N series. All rights reserved. 22 What Is Data Protection? Often viewed as:  Complex set of processes  In need of change, especially with the emergence of virtualization  Cost center What it really is:  Services that keep the business running  Recover lost or corrupted data  Fulfill compliance regulations Data protection?

3. © 2010 N series. All rights reserved. 3 Traditional Data Protection Costly  Multiple, specialized devices to buy and scale  Expensive software licensing Complex  Time consuming to deploy  Multiple management silos  Multiple vendors & support contracts Challenging  Backup and recovery times are too long  DR failover is hard / expensive to test  Most products not well suited to secure multi-tenancy needs of IT as a Service / cloud Multiple Agents DR Servers & Storage Backup Storage Backup Servers Compliance Storage Archive Servers Dedupe Appliances
