When assessing backup software vendors, IT leaders must avoid being taken in by flashy new features. Backup software should really be called restore software. Failure in backup is failure to meet recovery objectives. Always evaluate features in light of these objectives.
Use this research to:
- Understand how new challenges are impacting the traditional objectives of enterprise backup.
- Assess the feasibility and desirability of switching to a new backup software provider.
- Create a shortlist of backup software vendors and select which is the best fit.
- Prepare an RFP and score RFP responses.
- Develop implementation plans that address common pitfalls.
Ensure that you make the best-fit backup software decisions for enterprise availability and restore requirements, from strategy to selection to implementation.
