Protecting your business-critical applications without impacting performance is proving ever more challenging in the face of unrelenting data growth, stringent recovery service level agreements (SLAs) and increasingly virtualized environments. Traditional approaches to data protection are unable to cost-effectively deliver the end-to-end availability and protection that your applications and hypervisors demand. A faster, easier, more efficient, and reliable way to protect data is needed.

The auto industry designs a variety of vehicles. Trucks for freight; buses for people; vans for taking kids to school; sports cars for speed; luxury cars for comfort; and compact cars for economy. You choose a vehicle based on your need; if you need a truck and buy a sports car, you won’t achieve goals. The same is true for servers. This paper highlights the steps you should take in order to drive innovation and transform the server to be the enabler you need to realize the business outcomes you desire.

Experts like Gartner tell us we need layered cyber defenses that include next-generation firewalls (NGFW) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) to identify and stop attacks at the gate combined with defenses to identify and help remediate successful breaches before they can spread. In fact, the Gartner adaptive protection architecture encompasses four defense phases and encourages enterprises to spread their investment over all four phases.
