Growth in Virtualization
Consolidation
RTOs
ROI

• We consolidated 60 servers down to 6 physical
  servers a 101 ration and reduced the
  physical server footprint by 75.

• We reduced our Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
  for a physical machine from 24 hours to 30
  minutes.

• We realized annualized cost savings of over
  100K due to the smaller datacenter footprint,
  lower power costs, and reduced personnel
  expense..

540,000 virtual machines existed worldwide in
2006, Gartner projects there could easily be as
many as 4M by 2009

Virtualization Data Protection Challenges

• Need to find a solution that is integrated with
  the Virtualization Platform
• Many products today require complex scripting to
  backup or recover files
• Backing up is easy, but writing a script every
  time you need to recover a file, etc. can be very
  time consuming.
• Should be able to view your environment virtual
  or physical in its entirety
• Need Product Flexibility
• Products should integrate physical and virtual
  data protection
• There is no need for multiple solutions in these
  environments regardless of your platforms
