Challenges in Today’s Business EnvironmentThe Importance of DataBusinesses today rely increasingly on data to help them make crucialdecisions. Without current and accurate information, every transaction andbusiness process would quickly grind to a halt. However, the amount andgrowing complexity of data, as well as the IT environment in which it lives, ismaking it increasingly difficult to maintain both availability and reliability.Data Growth and ComplexityBusinesses are dealing not only with data that is growing exponentially,but with different kinds of data (including structured and unstructured) fromvarious applications across multiple platforms. The result is an IT infrastructureconsisting of hundreds of servers filled with disparate technologies from awide range of storage providers. As the need to make data available 24/7becomes the norm, businesses must also contend with shrinking backupwindows, demands for faster recovery times, new regulatory complianceissues mandating how and for how long data must be kept, and constantlyconstrained budgets and resources.Data ProtectionResolving data growth and complexity issues requires careful planning anda well-defined data protection strategy. With so much at stake and so manythings to consider (databases, applications, operating systems, devices,locations, etc.), finding the right solution can be a daunting task. Some wellknown software and hardware companies have addressed these issues byadding a plethora of data protection products to their business/IT solutionofferings. However, in truth, these products actually only solve part of theproblem, and often require patching together a “complete” solution, whichcan result in spiraling management costs and increased compatibility risk. Inaddition, many of these products are difficult to integrate, hard to learn anduse, and lack the flexibility to work across heterogeneous environments.With the operational management of storage, not the actual storage hardware,accounting for between 70 and 80 percent of total storage related costs(Gartner Group), finding the right software to implement an effective dataprotection strategy is crucial to every business.Redefining Data ManagementWhen computers and data were in their infancy, the main concern of businesseswas to protect data from deletion or corruption, and to be able to restore it ifsomething did happen. To accomplish this, all that was needed was a simpleand reliable backup software package and tape drive, which could run at nightand ensure data was safe and protected.With today’s reality of diverse IT environments, the intricate nature of moderndata, and the criticality of data to keeping a business operating, a newapproach to data management is emerging. The new model for effective datamanagement is based on data protection, data availability and data retention– and must be flexible, cost-effective, and easy to integrate and manage. Thisis not a quick-fix strategy.Accomplishing effective long-term data protection, data availability and dataretention requires reducing complexity – not just in your data protection solution,but also in the way in which business is conducted. BakBone embraces thisin everything we do.
Effective Data Protection - The New Modelw w w. b a k b o n e . c o mBakBone’s data protection framework, Integrated DataProtection (IDP), embraces the new model of data protection,data availability and data retention that is flexible, cost-effective,and easy to integrate and manage. A comprehensive suite ofheterogeneous data protection technologies that are seamlesslymanaged from a centralized console, IDP takes an integrated“building block” approach to help you achieve your dataprotection objectives, increase business value and reduce risk.IDP also addresses the issues of reducing complexity and costs,while delivering on the core concepts of the new data protectionmodel:Data ProtectionIDP’s fully integrated applications and core service componentswork in the most complex heterogeneous environments andmake it easy to proactively control, configure and administer dataprotection requirements. With IDP’s backup, disaster recovery,replication and management capabilities, data is fully protectedagainst loss. BakBone will continue to fully support this portfolioas it expands into continuous data protection (CDP) with theindustry’s only CDP solution for heterogeneous environments.Data AvailabilityIDP enforces data policy management to ensure accurate, upto-date information is available to support people, processesand transactions. Because IDP is fully integrated and supportsevery element of the IT environment, it is the ideal solution forguaranteeing business continuity by ensuring data is alwaysaccessible.Data RetentionIDP’s management capabilities give you maximum flexibility todesign, implement and control data policies that meet the moststringent regulatory compliance requirements.
