2014 NetWorker Usage Report

I’m pleased to say I’ve completed and made available the NetWorker usage report for 2014. I’m particularly grateful to everyone who took the time to answer the 20 questions in the survey conducted between December 1, 2014 and January 31, 2015.

The report continues to track trends in NetWorker usage within organisations: deduplication adoption continues to grow, for instance, and Data Domain remains the overwhelmingly preferred method to enable that deduplication.

This was the first survey that asked a basic question I should have been asking for the last several years (!), how big is a full backup for your environment? The results on that question were particularly insightful as to just how large some environments get, and put to rest that FUD you see occasionally from other vendors that NetWorker doesn’t cut the mustard. (It not only cuts it, but it spreads it in an entirely appetising way…)

You can find on the main NetWorker Hub site, or access it directly here.
