Team,

The market momentum is swinging towards disk being a backup medium for networked data.  At one point, over half of the Snap Appliances sold were used to back up data (instead of being used to serve files - which was their primary design intent).

Disk replication as a protection scheme increased 19% in last year's market analysis.  

So, where does that put us?  Exactly in the right spot!

If we can help tape manufacturers to provide the same functionality as disk - instantaneous data transfers - both for backup and restore, but add the capability of offsite disaster recovery volumes - we'll hit the needs of the market right in the 'bulls-eye'.

The attached article is from a storage consultant regarding this topic.  (ISearchStorage.com - February 19)
