The Convergence of Cyber Resilience: Why Your Enterprise Backup Strategy Needs an Overhaul in 2024

Lower your footprint, not your resilience.

Cut energy use with smart tiering (tape/cloud), data reduction, and lifecycle policies—without sacrificing recovery times.

Why ESG for Backup?

Data storage is a hidden but significant energy sink for many organizations. Traditional backup strategies often prioritize speed and convenience over efficiency, leading to unnecessary energy consumption and higher operational costs.

Hidden Energy Costs

Storage infrastructure = major power draw

Rising Operational Costs

Energy costs increasing year over year

Stakeholder Pressure

ESG reporting requirements growing

Features for Efficiency: Smart Resource Management

  • Smart tiering to low-power media (tape, archive cloud) based on access patterns.
  • Advanced deduplication and compression to reduce storage footprint.
  • Automated lifecycle policies optimize retention and deletion schedules.
  • Energy usage monitoring and reporting for ESG compliance.

How It Works

1

Classify Data

Automatically classify data by age, access frequency, and business value.

2

Tier to Low-Power Media

Move inactive data to energy-efficient tape and archive cloud storage.

3

Apply Lifecycle Rules

Automated policies manage retention and deletion to optimize resource usage.

The Result

Lower Footprint

Significant reduction in energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Lower Cost

Reduced operational expenses through efficient resource usage.

Same Protection

Enterprise-grade backup and recovery capabilities maintained.
