Managing IT infrastructures and protecting critical business applications has become a tremendous challenge for most organizations, in particular for mid-sized organizations. Much like in enterprise operations, mid-sized businesses are required to achieve minimal downtime and to protect the data assets generated by their business-critical applications.

Organizations now have to cope with the difficulty and cost of meeting evolving data protection requirements which include migration, archiving and compliance. Challenges include:

• Unacceptable backup and recovery times impacting operational efficiency, recovery time objectives and Service Level Agreements (SLA)
• High backup operations cost due to complexities and ineffectiveness of disparate systems and fragmented backup environments
• Shortcomings in the protection of key business applications, such as Exchange

Customers are demanding solutions that are easy to install and manage on a limited budget, that simplify administration of sophisticated cross-platform data protection strategies and significantly reduce overall administrative time to ensure lower total cost of ownership. Deploying business protection solutions helps eliminate business risk and assure stakeholders that critical business information is protected.
