Data Restoration Services
Imagine it’s Friday morning and you just received a litigation request asking you to produce information from a large number of legacy backup tapes spanning the past two years. This request couldn’t have come at a worse time. You recently upgraded your tape library and backup systems and now it will take you a considerable amount of time to access and read your old tapes using out-dated hardware and software.
What if restoring the data on your legacy tapes was a no-brainer?
The reality today is companies are seeing a higher volume of legacy data requests in response to litigation, regulatory investigations, and internal requests. Do you keep obsolete technology in your data center for situations like this? Old legacy backup tape, database, and email systems tie up valuable space in your data center and are expensive to maintain. In fact, industry analyst IDC estimates less than 25 percent of IT budgets are spent on infrastructure innovation or value-added initiatives. That means the overwhelming majority of today's average IT budgets are consumed by other competing priorities—and one of largest budget-breakers is infrastructure maintenance.
