In today’s results driven economy, you need the facts on backup methods that can unexpectedly drive up costs. Identifying these factors is well worth the effort as virtualization has the potential to provide real benefits to deliver maximum ROI.
Read Chapter 2 from Acronis’ new ebook series to learn about optimizing VM performance with agent-less backup as a fresh alternative to the administrative headache and high costs of installing agents on each VM.
Among the most significant hidden costs of virtualization are those associated with backing up VMs. As organizations deploy more and more VMs, data volumes grow, impacting backup windows accordingly. More time is needed to perform regular backups, and as backup functions compete with other business-critical functions for network bandwidth, throughput becomes an issue and overall performance can suffer. This is not only true for organizations with distributed environments, where branch and remote offices compete for network resources, but also small to medium-sized businesses with limited IT resources. This increased workload constitutes a significant cost, not only in terms of lost productivity, but also in whatever capital investments an organization may make to remedy the problem.
