Nexenta and Storage Switzerland Present the “How Snapshots Can Be Backups” Webinar

Participants Will Learn How to Architect Primary Storage to Ensure Snapshots Meet Data Protection Requirements with Software-Defined Storage

Santa Clara, Calif.—February 12, 2015—Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Software-Defined Storage (#softwaredefinedstorage) (SDS), today announced it will be hosting a complimentary webinar, “How Snapshots Can Be Backups,” in partnership with Storage Switzerland, an analyst firm focused on the storage, virtualization and cloud marketplaces. Snapshots have been a key feature of primary storage infrastructures that IT professionals have relied on for years, but storage systems have traditionally only been able to support a limited number of active snapshots and these snapshots, being pointers and not actual data, are susceptible to a primary storage system failure. As a result, most IT professionals use snapshots sparingly for protecting data.

This webinar will enable an actionable strategy to create a primary storage infrastructure that can replace much of the data protection process, while significantly improving your ability to meet recovery point and recovery time objectives. Additionally, attendees will learn about the types of snapshot technologies, the weaknesses of snapshots and the benefits of self-protecting primary storage architecture.
