HP's new StorageWorks Continuous Information Capture software employs continuous data Protection (CDP) technology, which backs up enterprise data whenever changes are made so that in the case of a file corruption, the most recent, clean copy of a file can be recovered.
Now, I'm sure we can all see how something like that may be useful from time to time. Once in a while, it might even be a life-saver for someone.
But, with the software alone costing upwards of US$31,200, and the obligatory increased storage requirements that go along with this sort of tech, how much value are most companies likely to realise from this?
