Today’s Backup and Secondary Storage ChallengesKey Customer Challenges Slow backups, veryslow restores2 2017 Nimble Storage.Trapped data onbackup device—can’t be usedwithout restoreSpecialized andsiloed backupinfrastructure

Secondary Storage is Ready for Change“A lot of people want to do Dev/Test and something ofvalue with their Backup data instead of having it just sitthere in the event of a disaster.”Liz Conner, Storage Research Manager, IDC3 2017 Nimble Storage.

Secondary Storage is Ready for Change“By 2020, 30% of organizations will leverage backup formore than just operational recovery, up from less than10% at the beginning of 2016.”Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Software,June, 20164 2017 Nimble Storage.

Secondary Storage Is Changing But What Can I Do About It?Move everything to All-Flash?Still relatively expensive for non-primary storageMove everything to the Cloud?High latencies, costly to recoverTry a start-up’s new web appliance?Wait it out?5 2017 Nimble Storage.Perpetuates isolated siloes of data,adds new vendor RiskThere are costs: Continuing Support expense oflegacy equipment, Admin/Space/Energy costs ofsiloed resources, Inefficiencies, Missed opportunities
