CONCLUSION
WorkingwithCommVault,Dellhascreatedanintegratedstoragesolutionwith
replicationcapabilitiesthatenablebettermanagementfordatafromremoteand
branchofficesites.Centralizingthisdataformanagementenablesbackup
systemsanddevicestoberetiredfrombranchenvironments,alongwith
maintenancecontractsandtaperotationservices,forimmediatedram
aticcost
savings.
Productivityisraisedinthebranch,becausebackupoperationsareno
longerperformedlocally;neitherlocalpersonnelnorsystemsaredistractednor
impactedduringbackup.Humanerrorisreducedbecausedatacenterteamsare
bettertrainedandmanagedthroughbackupandrecovery.Dataisbetter
protected,morequicklyandreliably,an
dwithusuallywithmore
cost‐effective
optionsforimmediateandlong‐termdatapreservation.Policiesfordata
managementcanbemoreconsistentlyapplied,animportantconsiderationfor
corporateoversightandgovernancealongwithlegalrequirementsintheeventof
discoveryactions.
