Gartner defines enterprise backup and recovery software solutions as vendor-developed solutions that capture a point-in-time copy (backup) of enterprise workloads in on-premises, hybrid, multicloud and SaaS environments. These solutions write the data to one or more secondary storage targets for the primary purpose of recovering this data in case of loss. They can be offered as software-only, integrated hardware or virtualized appliance, or as a SaaS-based, backup as a service (BaaS).
Network video recorders (NVRs) are IP-based appliances that are purpose-built for managing cameras, recording and viewing camera feeds at a site. NVRs are usually PC-grade or low-end server systems made using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware components. They usually contain an embedded operating system or a client operating system that hosts video management software, which provides users a mechanism to view, record and manage camera feeds.
Gartner defines primary storage with platform services as dedicated products and platform-native services for solid-state arrays or hybrid storage arrays, structured block data consumption-based offerings and software-defined storage (SDS) software. API-centric control and vendor-managed data services planes are used for primary storage onboarding, provisioning and AIOps-enabled SLA-based life cycle management and support outcomes. Platform-native services include the syndication and integration of complementary third-party storage products and data services as part of their managed services offerings. Products and services are available in traditional capex, subscription and consumption pay-for-use licensing.
