Organizations of all sizes around the globe are dealing with a deluge of digital content and unstructured data that is driving massive increases in storage needs. As these enterprise datasets continue to expand to unprecedented sizes, data protection has never been more crucial. A new approach is needed to meet the availability, protection, and performance requirements of this era of big data.
