Getting Started with EMC SnapView

EMC SnapView is a pretty cool product.

Instead of backing up and recovering data from tape, EMC CLARiiON customers can use SnapView to make a quick disk-based copy for testing or backup.

So if EMC SnapView is so great, why is it that more people don't use it protect more mission critical data?

There are a few reasons, but one of the main reasons we hear is cost.

If you are nodding your head - One way to solve the problem, is to compare the cost of new EMC storage against the cost of used EMC storage for your SnapView backup copy space.

If Refurbished EMC hardware is 50%-70% less money, you could theoretically afford to buy 50%-200% more capacity, giving you more space to protect more data.
