Influenced by factors such as disaster recovery, regulatory compliance, legal pressures, and IT risk management, many IT organizations need to enhance their current data protection to improve recovery and reliability and meet compressing backup windows. The challenge most organizations face is how to upgrade their current processes in an economically viable manner without disrupting users, applications, or infrastructure. Today, enterprise datacenters are augmenting existing data protection configurations to satisfy both technical and business challenges in managing, protecting, retaining, and recovering corporate data.

Enabling nextgeneration data protection, NetBackup 6.5 provides a common platform from which firms can choose and manage a comprehensive set of cost-effective options for diskbased data protection. NetBackup 6.5 incorporates next-generation data protection features to enable higher levels of recovery, reliability, and performance while providing an economically viable and open architecture for different back-end disk configurations, all of which are managed under a common administration model to provide operational savings.
