The Challenge: Backups used to be simple. In recent years, the location of data has morphed into hybrid environments, the density of data has increased each year, and there has been a constant introduction of new data types and sources and a dramatic shift in data from “something we store” to “something that we analyze to pull business value and trends”.

Many organizations have grown in complexity in terms of users, data, locations, and disparate systems, to the point that traditional backup solutions alone can’t provide the level of data protection required. Cloud-based solutions provide interesting capabilities but can quickly become complex and costly.

The Solution: This ESG Economic Validation Brief focuses on the quantitative and qualitative benefits organizations can expect from shifting their current data protection solution to Dell APEX Backup

Services. This allows you to increase the assuredness of backup operations, shift the onus of backups away from their FTEs, and better control the costs of backup services. ESG has studied APEX Backup Services—and found that it can help alleviate many of the challenges that organizations can face while helping them shift FTE focus to activities that better help IT align with business initiatives.
