The Importance of Operational Simplicity in Selecting Disk-to-Disk Data Protection Solutions

By The Taneja Group

A typical enterprise data protection environment might consist of tape media for long-term archive, with disk for online and nearline backup and restores.

How best to implement disk-based solutions, as The Taneja Group discusses, depends in large degree on the complexity of the environment. “Operational Simplicity” is a term that addresses how new technologies can help simplify complex environments, allowing businesses to sharply reduce management overhead, attain very strong ROI, and fully protect data integrity.

Some of the key attributes of operational simplicity are:

Plug-and-play capability
Cost-effective, transparent scalability
Non-disruptive, reliable data protection

Read how Data Domain deduplication technology can help simplify your data protection environment with high-speed, inline deduplication.

Higher transfer speeds with fewer disk IOs
Ongoing file system consistency checking
Flexible replication including bi-directional, many-to-one, and selective options

“Data Domain has delivered an offering that personifies this notion of operational simplicity. We think that the positive market momentum that we continue to see from Data Domain is directly correlated to the company’s focus on simplifying the deployment and ongoing management of its devices within D2D environments.”
