Today, the common approach to collecting information about computing activity across the enterprise is to use software agents installed on individual clients and servers. However, when this approach is applied to data protection management in the enterprise environment, it has proven both ineffective and inefficient. This is because agent-based technology cannot meet the following five requirements that define the viability of a data protection management solution for the enterprise: ease of installation; compatibility with existing products, change management, network impact, and system performance. Considered collectively, these five factors are daunting and require a well thought-out approach. But, agentless technology, although challenging to design, is the only approach that meets large enterprise requirements and enables data protection management success. |
