Vertical Markets
Growth in specific vertical markets is pushing the demand for better
backup solutions. Internet/Intranet applications are growing at a
very fast rate. They are driving the sales of servers, and they are also
driving the sale of a large amount of storage capacity. An increase in
storage capacity always drives the need for more backup capacity.
Internet and Intranet applications, impose heavy backup demands
for several reasons. They run around the clock, so the backup win-
dow is always under pressure, they change constantly, they tend to
grow in size, and their content is increasingly graphical and therefore
storage intensive. Vertical markets driving the demand for DLTtape
backup include:
•
E-commerce.
•
Internet/Intranet.
•
Archiving.
•
Disaster recovery.
•
Data mining.
•
Medical imaging.
•
Graphic arts.
•
CAE/CAD/CAM.
•
Multimedia.
•
Publishing.
•
Data acquisition.
•
Video-on-demand.
•
Digital nonlinear video editing.
•
Video distribution.
•
Storage Service Providers (SSPs).
•
Application Service Providers (ASPs).
In Chapter 10, we will go into more detail on the special backup
needs of various vertical applications.
