  • SEP Sesam Vs. Commvault Simpana Product Comparison SEP Sesam Vs
    SEP sesam vs. CommVault Simpana Product Comparison SEP sesam vs. CommVault Simpana Product Comparison SEP sesam Overview The modern enterprise has data requirements covering a broad range of use cases. From physical servers in the data center to virtual servers hosted in a private or public cloud, data needs are growing at an unprecedented rate. Enterprises that, a decade ago, had overall data needs in the terabyte range are now looking at storage requirements that may be hundreds or even thousands of times as large. The laws of supply and demand apply directly to data growth in the enterprise. Storage is in ever-increasing supply, with larger and cheaper devices appearing on the market every day. Correspondingly, the enterprise demand for that storage is growing exponentially as well. With e-mail, corporate databases, shared documents, and regulatory compliance requirements, organizations now generate and track more data than ever before. One of the biggest challenges in the modern information technology landscape is now providing accessibility and disaster recovery for enterprise data banks. SEP sesam is an easy-to-use, high-performance business solution that provides flexible backup, restore, and disaster recovery options for businesses of any size. With broad platform support and a high performance data transfer technology, SEP sesam provides the best data recovery and migration solution in its class. Installation Requirements SEP sesam makes a strong first impression with its minimal system requirements and straight-forward and quick installation process. It requires a much smaller footprint for installation, both in terms of additional required software and the size of the installation, than any of its competitors.
