      2 - SMBs Face Cost-Related Challenges

      Cost-related challenges with the backup and recovery of virtual servers cover three areas: high ongoing management costs, expensive licensing models, and backups either requiring or using too much storage.

      3 - Taking Hours to Recover Backed-Up Servers

      This graph shows the time, measured in hours, it takes to recover virtual servers (in gray) and the time to recover physical servers (in green).

      4 - Organizations Worry Backup Will Become Less Effective

      Currently, 63 percent of SMBs feel that their backup and recovery tools will become less effective as the amount of data and servers in their infrastructure continue to grow.

      5 - Downtime Costs Businesses Big Bucks

      Forty-one percent of SMBs stated that the cost per hour of downtime for their business-critical servers that had not been protected by techniques such as replication was $150,000 or more. Gray represents unreplicated servers costing $150,000 or more per hour of downtime; green represents less than $150,000 per hour of downtime.

      7 - SMBs Priced Out of E-Discovery Market

      The specialist e-discovery tools used for this are not aimed at the SMB market: 65 percent of SMBs feel that the cost of specialist e-discovery tools is prohibitively expensive.

      9 - Lack of Consistent Backups Poses Challenges

      A lack of opportunities to test backups may be one reason the chance of problems with backups is so high. Currently, the average SMB tests backups for recoverability every 3 months.

      10Significant Capability-Based Challenges Face SMBs

      10 - Significant Capability-Based Challenges Face SMBs
