ProtecTIER Value Proposition– Tape Backup Pain Points
Copper
Mountain
Backup Servers
Large Tape Libraries
Carrier and DR Services
- Constantly adding
disk to storage pools
- Floor space
- Expensive
- Cleaning tapes, drive maintenance,
hardware limitation regarding
amount of drives
- Lost, Stolen and Damaged tapes
- Tape media storage and transport
- Oversubscribed
- Potential media failures
- Manual labor processes
- Potential mechanical defect
- RTO limited by transport
- Operator intensive
- Security services for sensitive data
- Reclamation
- Database growth
- Special transport boxes
- Expensive!
