  • Altaro VM Backup Vs. Symantec Backup Exec Product Comparison
    Altaro VM Backup vs. Symantec Backup Exec Product comparison [email protected] | www.altaro.com Altaro VM Backup vs. Symantec Backup Exec 2015 Altaro VM Backup 6 vs. Symantec Backup Exec 2015 The Backup Exec product is a long-standing member of the data protection market. Some aspects have not aged well, diminishing its attractiveness in the modern datacenter era. Executive Summary Backup Exec is not priced well in comparison to Altaro VM Backup. The confusing array of editions and individually-priced features makes it likely that a consultation will be necessary just to determine what a customer will need to purchase. While day-to-day usage of Backup Exec is likely to not be draining, initial deployment can be very difficult; it could take a substantial amount of time before options are correctly configured such that a backup job finishes successfully. Backup Exec has a very complicated installation path, made even more difficult by the need to select and purchase components separately. Backup Exec Weaknesses against Altaro VM Backup Heavy application requirements: Backup Exec is intended to be installed on a dedicated server, and its console and primary backup components are resource-intensive enough to justify it. It cannot be installed on Hyper-V Server or a Core installation of Windows Server. A Microsoft SQL instance is required (the Express edition is acceptable). Conversely, Altaro VM Backup can be installed directly on the system to manage and works perfectly well in Core environments, all without a heavy database system. Feature limitations: Backup Exec is designed as a modular system with a great many feature that are simply not available in the basic package.

  • The Best Replacement for Dds Continues to Be Dds
    COMPETITIVE PAPER | JANUARY 2003 THE BEST REPLACEMENT FOR DDS CONTINUES TO BE DDS 1650 Sunflower Avenue Costa Mesa, CA 92626 1-800-626-6637 | rss.seagate.com THE BEST REPLACEMENT FOR DDS CONTINUES TO BE DDS “The low-end tape drive market will continue to be the highest volume market through 2006. Despite new product offerings, DDS tape technology will continue to be the most prevalent tape technology in the low-end segment in the near term.” Source: Industry analyst firm IDC in it’s Worldwide Tape Drive Forecast and Analysis, 2001–2006 report (document #: 28304) Digital Data Storage (DDS) is the tape technology of choice for a growing business’ data protection needs. Products based on this technology, DDS tape drives, also known as DAT (Digital Audio Tape) CY2001 Installed Base By Technology drives, have the largest installed base. In CY2001, High-End Travan 2% Gartner/Dataquest reported that DDS products DLT/LTO 15% 18% represented over 51% of the installed base.1 And, the demand for DDS tape drives continues to be brisk. 8mm 5% 2 Drive shipments CY2001 were 53% of the market SLR and through CQ2’02 demand hardly changed.3 9% DDS The forecast through 2005 is for DDS tape drives to Source: Gartner/Dataquest May 2002 51% sell in greater quantities than drives based on other technologies.4 Yet, tape drive buyers are being flooded with negative statements on DDS by companies offering products based on alternative technologies that are proprietary and have yet to achieve OEM adoption. For example, Sony’s web site recently stated the following: “Outgrown DDS? For DDS replacement or migration, step-up to new AIT-based tape solutions.” In an Exabyte press release dated April 8, 2002, the company stated that it “…believes VXA products are the ideal replacement for DDS technology because they are recognized for their proven reliability and provide capacities that exceed DDS requirements”.
