One of the most tedious and complex jobs in the world of IT used to be data backup. Not anymore.

This paper first examines the state of the industry relative to Disk-to-Disk (D2D) adoption. It explores the issues

• tape backup
• cost aspects of new, less expensive disk with capacity optimization
• tangible and intangible benefits of moving to D2D

The second half of the paper discusses financial analysis such as Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), Return on Investment (ROI) and payback periods and how they can build a strong business case for D2D and Capacity Optimized Storage (COS). We present three case studies of actual users who are moving from tape to D2D in varying degrees (from disk backup as nearline storage with no changes in tape backup procedures, to a complete elimination of tape).

Dramatic reductions in the cost of disk along with new Capacity Optimization (CO) or commonality factoring techniques yielding 20:1 data reduction ratios change the data protection market landscape.

This new cost formula, coupled with very real benefits in improved reliability, faster backups and restores, reduced management issues, and regulatory compliance create a new paradigm for data protection.

Disk is now a viable, cost- competitive option for both local backup and offsite Disaster Recovery protection.

Why Traditional Methods - Tape, Disk, and Archiving Fall Short.

E-mail has grown from nice utility to business critical application. Legal and regulatory requirements are forcing companies to retain and manage a large and growing volume of e-mail for longer periods. The cost -- in both dollars and resources -- is rising dramatically.

In "Exchange Data Management: Why Tape, Disk, and Archiving Fall Short" we examine why these traditional approaches are failing. And we propose alternatives.
