Is it time to breakup with your backup?
9 TOXIC RELATIONSHIP
WARNING SIGNS
Your backup vendor’s DNA is
appliance centric
Are you buying more appliances or more storage? Backups should leverage the cloud so even when you hit the storage limit, you’re not stuck buying another appliance.
1
You are locked into the
vendor’s cloud
Do you have a choice of which cloud to deploy your data? You should have the flexibility to choose where your backups are stored – private, vendor, or 3rd party cloud.
2
Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service
isn’t built into the backup solution
Can you keep your critical applications running in natural or man-made catastrophe? You should have the ability to instantly boot and access critical files within minutes of a disaster.
3
Recovering data from the cloud
takes days
Is your internet connection slowing down your cloud backup? Bandwidth should be optimized by your backup vendor’s technologies to improve data transfer over a wide area network.
4
Cloud storage is tethered to
appliance storage
Are you deleting data to make room for your growing data? Untether your appliance with the cloud so you don’t have to delete files or buy a bigger appliance when your data grows.
5
Backup appliance still functions
like purpose-built appliance
Is your cloud storage limited by your appliance’s storage limit? Your backup should have a cloud storage gateway that spillovers excess data to your bottomless cloud storage.
6
Not treating mission-critical
data critical
Are you treating all data equally? Your backup solution should intelligently segment the most critical data with short recovery time objectives (RTO) so most critical data are always protected.
7
Can’t protect all of
company’s data
Are you protecting data in multiple devices using multiple solutions? Your backup solution should protect data across multiple servers, devices, and operating systems.
8
Pricing is complicated
and confusing
Are you choosing from hundreds of different models that require accurate sizing of the appliance? Make the cloud the center of your backup world and break from the pricing of appliance sizing.
