Unified approach helps businesses manage data back-up across branch office network

摘要

Storage is one of the most costly elements of IT. The wealth of information that businesses produce and need to save is continually growing, and with it, the storage needs and associated costs. These storage needs can be notoriously difficult to manage, and never more so than when the IT department has the task of managing storage for businesses that are distributed on a national or international basis. According to research company Nemertes, on average, 90% of employees work away from headquarters. Most of these employees are working in distributed offices, whether they be retail stores, bank branches, or even satellite classrooms.
