Introduction
Today, organizations face the challenge of defining a successful data protection strategy that addresses 100 percent of information. Doubling in volume every 12 to 18 months, growing stores of unstructured information such as documents, email, audio and video files, and structured and semi-structured databases, are driving IT organizations to determine where to back up data so it is effectively and efficiently protected, and how to recover it in a timely manner. The task involves not only protecting a set of highly diverse information, but the requirement to manage the information for lower risk exposure. Figure 1 illustrates four key issues organizations are facing as they seek to improve their data protection strategy, including: Explosion of data growth form, source and volume Proliferation of data across multiple locations (servers, workstations, mobile devices) Ever-shrinking recovery windows The increase in regulatory risk and compliance obligations Each of these key areas present unique challenges, and are causing IT organizations to reevaluate how to approach data protection, particularly regarding the optimal location for data backup: onpremise and/or within the cloud.
Data everywhere
Mobile, virtual, cloud joins physical Mobile endpoints are exposed 67% of users have three or more computing platforms
Shrinking recovery
Always-on applications and users Users have high uptime expectations Business continuity moves to forefront
Increased regulations
Escalating regulatory and higher volumes Find the needle in haystack Utilize corporate information assets
This paper explores a unified data protection approach of both advanced on-premise and remote offsite cloud-based data protection technology in a single offering. A hybrid strategy with HP Data Protector enables organizations to take advantage of an easy-to-use and powerful on-premise data protection solution that simultaneously leverages the security and scalability of cloud-based data protection, resulting in a reduced TCO (total cost of ownership) for critical data protection needs.
Legacy-based approaches to data protection and the challenge of managing new and diverse environments and data types can encumber IT staff with complex operational requirements. When IT must focus on never-ending backup schedules, new media types, and the fulfillment of offsite storage requirements, there is less time available to support strategic business initiatives.

to proactive monitoring and around-the-clock operational support to manage potential vulnerabilities and detect all possible threats. Storing data remotely with a trusted cloud-storage service provider automatically provides an offsite copy of your data. This immediately helps organizations meet disaster recovery requirements, at a fraction of the cost.
Business need:
Remote, economical data protection for organizations with constrained IT staff and budget
Traditional shortcomings:
Offsite tape storage is slow and costly Remote data protection deployment and management requires dedicated IT staff
Business impact:
Data unavailable while offsite tapes are retrieved Inscreased overhead requires $$ to be diverted from more important projects
