Overview

The key principles of data protection are to safeguard and make available data under all circumstances. Data availability ensures users have the data they need to conduct business even if the data is damaged or lost. For the data protection, there are appliances that combine backup, replication, deduplication, search, analytics, instant access and restore, as well as DR and long-term retention to the Cloud. Another area where data protection technologies are coming together is in the merging of backup and disaster recovery (DR) capabilities.
