Zetta.net Unveils 2013 Predictions for Online Backup and Recovery
SUNNYVALE, CA, Jan 03, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Zetta.net today unveiled five predictions for the online backup and
recovery market for 2013, all pointing to the broader adoption of
online backup in more industries and the extinction of hardware
backup appliances. From education and government, to SMBs and large
enterprises with distributed office locations, online backup will
become mainstream as organizations seek hassle-free, lower cost
reliable solutions.
1. Online backup will become dominant in SMB, education, and local
government
The types of organizations that have the most to gain
from cloud server backup and disaster recovery are small and medium
businesses, large enterprises with distributed offices, education
institutions, and local governments. Why
-- Better security standards are exceeding what the majority of SMBs and
distributed offices of large enterprises do in-house, and secure
online server backup enables governments and schools to meet
compliance requirements in a way that tape can't.
-- Enterprise-grade performance -- speed, security and functionality --
is available at an affordable cost, making online server backup
accessible to companies like never before. A company with 300+
employees can backup 4TB of new data in less than 24 hours and make it
accessible anywhere in the world.
-- Online server backup is only a fraction of the cost required for
backup software, storage, support and offsite services -- not
including the time and resources spent managing multiple products and
vendors.
2. Appliance dinosaurs give way to hybrid backup 2.0
The meteor has
hit but the appliance dinosaurs are still alive. Hybrid backup 2.0
combines replicated data in the cloud with a "lean local" copy of
large database files -- without the hardware required by
hybrid-online backup 1.0. Hybrid-cloud 2.0 offers capabilities --
like remote offsite backup -- that make appliance-based backup
solutions look like dinosaurs. In 2013, smarter species will thrive
and purpose built backup appliances will gradually die out.
3. High-performance enterprise online server backup will establish
its own category
Enterprise online server backup has been available
for a while now, but its adoption was limited by performance, which
itself was largely limited by bandwidth. In 2013, cloud solutions
will hit the main stage, spurred on by the result of so many SMBs and
distributed enterprises increasing their bandwidth.
4. Integrated backup, disaster recovery and archiving make data
protection achievable for SMBs
Until 2012, only a tiny percentage of
small and medium-sized businesses could afford to implement a
complete data protection strategy -- disaster recovery and archiving
in addition to backup. But new technologies such as hybrid-cloud 2.0
streamline data protection into a single solution. SMBs no longer
have to piece together an expensive solution comprised of multiple
products from disparate vendors. This ease of deployment and
affordability will lead to the mainstream adoption of integrated data
protection among SMBs.
5. Large enterprises will leverage online backup vendors for
distributed offices
Large enterprises with petabytes of data to
backup and protect, tend to build their own datacenters to perform
backups in-house. But large enterprises also tend to have many
offices distributed throughout the world -- adding the hardware and
personnel required of a datacenter in each of them is an expensive
proposition. These organizations will increasingly take advantage of
hybrid-online backup 2.0 for their distributed offices to reduce the
cost and complexity associated with backups all around.
