Hyper-V Story of Bill, Ted, and Matthew
Our story began many months ago, in a small, but very techy town on the eastern coast of Florida. The small office building couple of blocks from the beach was home to two young, small, but promising companies – let’s call them Bee Business Solutions and Tee Technologies. Both companies had an IT team of one – Bill handled Bee’s systems, and Ted worked in Tee. Needless to say, they were best buddies. Almost at the same time, they realized that their companies have run out of server capacity, as they needed to run more data workloads. But they didn’t have the budget to buy more servers. So, they decided to use Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization technology on old servers instead.

It could happen in every aspect of your life and work, and backup solutions are no different. Let’s talk about potential hidden costs you need to be aware of.

Everything goes well… Until you get the quote (or worse, the invoice) with a much higher figure. What happened?

On-Premises Backup Software or Cloud Backup as a Service? (Part 2)
Recently, we wrote about how data protection vendors force you to choose between an on-premises solution and a software-as-a-service solution. In one of our recent blog posts, we compared how choosing a backup solution should be just like choosing a car. If you want a vehicle that is good for commuting but can also accommodate off-road activities, you should buy a vehicle that does both.
