Depending on the industry, data and data storage capacities are growing at rates up to 50 percent or more annually.

This requires IT professionals to craft data recovery infrastructures and procedures that resolve bottlenecks and a number of the organization's pain points, such as:

• Diminishing backup windows; Recovery times (amount of time it takes to recover applications and their data)
• Recovery points (how much data will be lost given a specific recovery point)
• Decentralized data sources
• Meeting internal and external Service Level
• Agreements (SLAs) with flat budgets and static headcount.

This white paper provides: An objective approach to making decisions about data recovery technologies. (disk-based enhanced data recovery or traditional tape-based) The disk-based architectures for enhanced data recovery.
