Backup Total Cost of Ownership Study

Understanding the cost of ownership is fundamental to the design and management of a data protection infrastructure that optimizes business efficiency and maximizes business value. Many of the latest backup and recovery technologies have been designed to reduce the total cost of ownership and it is therefore essential that the organisation understands their current state.

The Tectrade Backup Total Cost of Ownership Study will:

Discover

• Current burdened cost of the backup environment
• Current key performance measurements for backup and recovery operations

Recommend

• Improvements to existing backup environment
• Alternative strategies to reduce costs and improve service levels

Key Stages of the Study
Define the full cost to run the current backup environment, including:

• Hardware
• Software
• Ongoing maintenance
• Staffing
• Power and cooling
• Footprint
• Additional, costs such as offsite tape movement

Business Value

• Quantify the current total cost of ownership (TCO)
• Identify areas where backup costs can be reduced
• Improve service levels
• Increase availability, capability and scalability
