 State of IT Infrastructure
Aging Infrastructure, Greater Density plus More Data
Average Age of Hardware Slower HW refresh rates over past 24
months

Need to accelerate to catch up with

pace of change
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012

Greater infrastructure density

managed by fewer people

Server virtualization is a key

accelerating force

Amount of Data Under Mgmt Higher utilization rates and greater

automation to keep pace

24 x 7 availability means less

 IT Modernization What Does It Mean?

Gartners Definition
A movement toward specific best practices and strategies for moving toward
an application and infrastructure environment that leverages recent
advances in hardware and software.

Crosses Many Traditional Boundaries

Server, Storage, Network, Application
Staff responsibilities
Operational strategies
Organizational units LOB, Legal, Compliance, Application
Data copies Recovery, Protection, DR, Archive, Retention

 Data Management Challenges

Rapid data growth stresses backup window Protect

Data Growth vs.
rapidly growing data in a shorter period. Traditional method of
Backup Windows shifting everything from front to back falls short.

Balance DR / Fast restores and rapid DR are critical Avoid tradeoff

between fast restore/DR and cost. Hardware-based
Recovery SLAs vs. replication is expensive and doesnt offer a persistent copy.
Time & Cost Tape solutions are slow and difficult to manage.

Significant amount of data is generated remotely

Data at the Edges Consolidate & protect data over WAN in central location.
(Remote & Mobile) Different recovery and retention needs per site while
managing data centrally is challenging.

Economically scale solution to keep pace with growth -

Ability to Scale
Once solution capacity is reached, can it be expanded
Cost Effectively without spending millions of dollars?
