    Trends

    • Server virtualization is the single biggest game-changing trend in IT today

    • Virtual environments are becoming the norm rather than the exception

    • Cloud enabled disaster recovery

    • Cloud resident servers

    “Virtualization growing exponentially”

    • >50% MM business at 75%-100% levels • Businesses running 10-12 virtual

    machines/physical server • ~40% to be at 100% level in 2 years

    Percentage of Servers Virtualized - Midmarket

    Challenges

    • VM sprawl

    • Low tolerance for downtime

    • Data redundancy

    • Higher storage cost

    • Protection and Monitoring

    • Low visibility into VM contents

    • Existing investments into physical infrastructure

    • Licensing

    New! Backup and Convert to Virtual

    Convert to Virtual (P2V) – Parallel data streams

    – One stream to media server

    – Other stream to hypervisor

    – Result is full virtual machine (not just the virtual disk)

    Convert Stream

    Backup to Virtual (B2V) – Serial data streams – Backup stream to media

    server – Conversion job runs after or

    on different schedule – Result is full virtual machine
