Continuing (dare I say exploding?) data growth in small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) is forcing these size organizations to confront an issue that was primarily confined to larger organizations: data archiving. Chief among these issues, the question as to what media to store archival data on is one that needs to be answered. While many may assume that tape is best positioned to assume this role, there is a growing body of evidence that disk may be the most appropriate media for SMEs to use when archiving their data.

Tsunamis in Japan.Floods in the Midwest.Super cells and tornados throughout the South (and even the North!) As these news stories make headlines, they should serve as a reminder that no business, even small and midsize enterprises (SMEs), are immune from disasters and the need to recover from them. But as more SMEs adopt disk as their primary backup target, they need a practical D2D2D (disk-to-disk-to-disk) solution that ensures they can recover from a disaster should it occur. (read more)

Right here, right now, it's time to state what may sound preposterous to some and obvious to others. Disk has officially forever replaced tape as the primary target for backup software.

The balancing act that every small and midsize enterprise (SME) plays when making new technology purchases is finding the right balance between cost and technology. In the area of backup, this particularly holds true as backup to disk coupled with deduplication has now made disk backup a cost-effective replacement for tape backup while eliminating the headaches associated with using tape as a primary backup target. But with deduplication available in so many different forms, I wanted to offer SMEs a couple tips to help them get the most bang for their deduplication and replication bucks. (read more)

It is almost universally recognized that protecting and recovering applications and application data that reside on Linux, UNIX, VMware or Microsoft Windows servers is a necessity no matter what the cost.

However, new backup solutions such as the Revinetix Sentio™ now make it feasible for SMEs to significantly "warm up" their recoveries while keeping the price of recovery very cool. (read more)

Talk all you want about the different features and functions found in backup software.
