Today, IT enterprises are undergoing digital transformation as part of their hybrid cloud strategy. The cost and complexity of managing fragmented point products without adopting a unified data protection strategy can often lead to disaster. And data protection for hybrid cloud environments can pose a variety of challenges ranging from containing total cost of ownership (TCO) to ensuring regulatory compliance. In general, most organizations are wrestling with how to reduce cost and complexity, manage business risks, and prepare for the technologies of the future.
What if you could leverage a comprehensive platform to address these challenges across Availability, Protection, and Insights: welcome to Enterprise Data Services.

“NetBackup 8.2 is an exciting release! It comes with an array of features aiming to reduce cost and complexity, scale to adopt new virtualization workloads and clouds. Agent-less restores is one of the greatest features in 8.2. In the past, we had to install an agent to be able to restore individual files. Now, in NetBackup 8.2, agentless restore was expanded to any type of supported storage.” - Virgil Dobos, Virtech AE
