Virtual Server Backup: Easy and Economical with Deduplication
Featured Speakers:
George Pradel - Director, Strategic Alliances - Vizioncore, Inc.
Jeff Crum - Senior Product Manager - ExaGrid Systems, Inc.
Salvatore Salamone - Executive Editor, Strategic Content - Ziff Davis Enterprise
Now more than ever, organizations must find a way to maximize their IT investments and reduce costs in order to withstand the current economic crisis. Data deduplication makes that possible.
Studies show that virtualization is one of the most strategic IT investments a company can make. As a result, there's been a widespread adoption of server virtualization with VMware users now deploying almost half of their new servers as virtual servers rather than as physical servers. With its rapid adoption, server virtualization has brought with it a variety of backup and data protection challenges.
These challenges include the need for tools to reliably and easily back up and restore virtual machines, both locally and at second sites; and better storage utilization, including better visibility into the storage utilization of individual virtual machines.

Disk-Based Backup: Moving Beyond the Hype - An industry analyst perspective
Featured Speakers:
Brian Garrett - Director, ESG Lab - Enterprise Strategy Group
Marc Crespi - Vice President, Product Management - ExaGrid Systems, Inc.
Backup and recovery solutions have long been a source of frustration for many IT professionals. What is the best technology? Which is the most cost-effect solution? How can I ensure the backup and recovery system I choose will perform well in a disaster recovery situation? Every vendor has it own answers, but few have outside proof of performance, reliability and economy. A recent lab review by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) explores, in detail, one vendor's claims about its disk-based backup system. ESG tests the vendor's claims about high-availability, cost-effectiveness, backup and restore speeds, data deduplication ratios, scalability, remote replication and general ease of installation and management.
Join ESG's Brian Garrett and ExaGrid's Marc Crespi as they discuss the findings of ESG's Lab Validation Report about the ExaGrid Disk-based Backup system and discuss how those findings can translate into real-world IT benefits.
