Growth Is Inevitable Users with smaller environments can continue to back
up using the same traditional backup processes, but what happens when 100TB increases to 200TB? When 50TB turns into 1PB? [There are] companies that have petabytes of data in their environments, and the rate of growth is staggering. The unbridled growth of storage will soon require another approach because legacy backup and recovery software won’t cut it anymore. A vast majority of users don’t have massive file systems
or gargantuan databases, but rather lots and lots of smaller instances of each. There are often hundreds and even thousands of discrete backup jobs creating operational challenges, multiplying the risk of data loss and racking up huge costs.
Server virtualization is also pushing the limits of
backup. Even users with smaller environments may have dozens of applications they have to manage. With virtualization, it’s not just the amount of data, but the number of apps you have to protect. Overall, backup is still the de facto method of protecting
data and will be for at least the next decade. Having said that, the beginning of the end is upon us. Backup processes are being replaced incrementally. Replication and recovery will be used more often as will application- based data protection tools. These two points seem contradictory, but it’s often the way within IT that both the status quo and the next-generation approach coexist for long periods of time.
