| Survey: Businesses Find Backing Up Virtual Servers Not All Smiles and Sunshine | |  | A survey conducted on behalf of Quantum by Toluna has found that 86 percent of enterprises are implementing server virtualization, but that four out of five IT managers find it difficult to back up their virtualized environments. The survey identified a number of pain points associated with virtualization.
Some of the findings include:
- 47% of IT managers experienced increased data growth
- 28% saw higher energy demands
- 22% had increased software costs
- 27% saw data bottlenecks
- 25% experienced remote branch data issues.
"Enterprises see the value in consolidating their physical infrastructure and moving to virtualized environments, yet this survey shows that IT managers are also seeing the impact on their data storage and backup processes."

MSC experimented with several solutions before discovering the advantages provided by StorNext. They even used a competitive product for a year-and-a-half, all the time realizing that they’d made a mistake. “What I like about StorNext is you set it and forget it,” LeValley says. | | | Read the full Case Study | | | | | | | | | | | | Barclaycard US, the payments business of Barclays in the United States and a Quantum DXi™ -Series customer, won the SNW Fall 2010 “Best Practices” Award.
