Supporting Quote:
Dave Therrien, Chief Technical Officer and Founder of ExaGrid: “Organizations that are focused on implementing new backup approaches that can scale to accommodate data growth rates of 30 percent or more–while keeping total system costs low to protect IT budgets–will be best positioned for this period of rapid change. Based on the convergence of each of these important trends in 2013, organizations can no longer look at backup and recovery as a lower priority data center initiative.”
