InfoStor asked industry experts what they expect in 2013. Comparing the trends within the article to NetWorker is quite interesting.  NetWorker provides backup and recovery capabilities that match the industry trend.

Below are a few examples explaining how NetWorker is built to meet customer needs today and into the future.

• LTO tape media capacity shipments reached a record 10,000 petabytes in the first half of 2012, a growth of 12% year over year.  NetWorker provides full support for LTO and is known for robust tape management.

• Scale-Out NAS has been riding on the coattails of Big Data. And this will continue. NetWorker has supported NDMP for many years and has a proven solution that will support sale-out NAS.

• Cloud Backup - For large organizations, this will almost certainly result in hybrid environments where cloud solutions are used for distributed workforces and offices, and on-premise solutions are deployed for network backups.  NetWorker supports backup to the cloud, plus physical and virtual server backup and recovery.  The value NetWorker brings to hypbid environments is the flexibility and scalability to protect your data in a variety of environments.
