In the past, resource limitations have left midsize enterprises with very few affordable options for backup, recovery and archiving. But today, there are a host of cost-effective, scalable hardware and software solutions available. These new offerings have the ability to:

• Maximize existing technology investments
• Consolidate the management of multiple devices
• Provide an unprecedented level of automation

Every environment is different and storage solutions are never "one size fits all," so effective deployment requires careful consideration.

This white paper provides insight for midsize enterprises looking to make backup, recovery, and archiving more effective and efficient. It also highlights the key methods for assessing the backup environment, determining which technologies to deploy, and choosing the right technology and/or services partner with which to execute the strategy.
