HP launches archiving, data protection tools
Posted by in Backup, Methodology, Technology
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?
