Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions

Gartner defines enterprise backup and recovery software solutions as technology that captures a point-in-time copy (backup) of enterprise data in on-premises, hybrid, multicloud and software as a service (SaaS) environments. These solutions write this data to one or more secondary storage targets for the primary purpose of recovering it in case of loss. Protecting and recovering business application data, irrespective of the underlying infrastructure type and its location, is more important than ever. As enterprises move toward more complex environments that include large and expansive amounts of business-critical data, enterprise backup and recovery software solutions protect these workloads, whether they reside in on-premises, hybrid, multicloud or software as a service (SaaS) environments. These solutions are vital to organizations’ ability to recover data following events that cause it to become inaccessible. Whether such an event is accidental, malicious or environmental, organizations use these solutions to recover and restore access to the affected data accurately and efficiently. Solutions must offer effective capabilities to simplify the management of data protection across complex enterprise environments. They must also ensure reliable recovery not just from accidental or operational errors but also from data loss arising from constantly changing threats, and expedite and orchestrate data recovery responses to traditional disaster and ransomware events.

In-Memory Data Grids

IMDGs provide a lightweight, distributed, scale-out in-memory object store — the data grid. Multiple applications can concurrently perform transactional and/or analytical operations in the low-latency data grid, thus minimizing access to high-latency, hard-disk-drive-based or solid-state-drive-based data storage. IMDGs maintain data grid durability across physical or virtual servers via replication, partitioning and on-disk persistence. Objects in the data grid are uniquely identified through a primary key, but can also be retrieved via other attributes. The most typical use of IMDGs is for web-scale transaction processing applications. However, adoption for analytics, often in combination with Apache Spark and Hadoop or stream analytics platforms, is growing fast — for example, for fraud detection, risk management, operation monitoring, dynamic pricing and real-time recommendation management.
