    According to analysts, the volume of data doubles every two years while 70% of IT budgets are allotted to maintaining currently deployed systems and software in the enterprise. This has put increasing pressure on IT professionals responsible for maintain data protection. While enhancements to backup and recovery software and services have continued to improve in capabilities and efficiency, the costs associated with backup continue to rise as data volumes grow. Regardless of whether the licensing model used is module- or capacity-based, the IT professional resources needed to maintain licensing and support in addition to increasing expenses related to backup is an ongoing issue for businesses of every size.

    In this webinar, George Crump, Lead Analyst with Storage Switzerland and Eran Farajun, EVP of Asigra, will discuss the current state of backup software technology and delve into the rationalization of the various, licensing strategies on the market. They will also introduce a new licensing model based on data recovery that promises an easier to manage and more cost effective way to acquire backup and recovery software.

    "Understanding backup licensing costs has always been a difficult task. There is the obvious cost of the hardware in addition to the software and cost of operations to manage the backup process," said George Crump, Lead Analyst, Storage Switzerland. "Recovery based models offer a dramatic change. They create a fair pay-for-use relationship that should allow IT to better correlate the data protection investment to the value that it provides."
