HyperBac and SQL Server 2008
We understand that all businesses will be considering the available backup compression capability being offered in SQL Server 2008. While you’re considering your options, we’d like you to think about the following questions.
1. Is your need for compression immediate or pending?
2. How long will you take to migrate your applications to SQL Server 2008?
3. Have you factored in the cost of migration?
4. Are you running standard or enterprise edition?
5. Does migrating to enterprise edition represent good value?
6. Will you use all that the enterprise edition offers you?
7. Is it more cost effective to deploy HyperBac at $799 per server?
Once you’ve finished thinking about the pros and cons of using SQL Server 2008 backup compression, why not take a moment to consider the functional advantages that HyperBac gives you.
