2 Introduction Research Objectives Research Report: Endpoint Device Backup Trends In order to assess the current state of data protection for endpoint devices including desktop PCs, laptop PCs, and mobile phones ESG identified 287 respondents familiar with their organization s endpoint device infrastructure and any associated data protection tools and processes. In addition to their endpoint device knowledge, all respondents were personally responsible for evaluating, purchasing, or managing data protection technologies such as backup and recovery software, data replication software, and disk or tape storage systems used for secondary data storage for their organization. Specifically, the survey asked the following endpoint-specific questions: How many endpoint devices providing general purpose PC functionality are currently supported by IT organizations? What types of endpoint devices are supported and what percent of the total endpoint devices does each comprise? Do organizations have formal processes in place to back up endpoint devices? To what extent is each type of endpoint device protected? Does this vary based on the size of a respondent organization? For current users of endpoint backup solutions, what were the key drivers in the organization s decision to implement data protection for endpoint devices? For planned endpoint backup adopters, what are the key drivers for the organization to consider implementing data protection for endpoint devices? For each class of endpoint device, what is the primary method of backup used to protect it? For planned adopters of endpoint data protection, what is the expected method of backup for endpoint devices? Who in the organization is responsible for endpoint device backup? Who in the organization is responsible for endpoint device and/or file recovery? Does this vary by size of company? Which functional group is primarily responsible for funding data protection technology in support of endpoint devices? Are there differences for smaller versus larger organizations? For non-adopters, why don t organizations have formal processes to protect endpoint devices? Do these attitudes vary according to organization size? Survey participants represent a wide range of industries including manufacturing, financial services, communications and media, health care, retail, government, and business services. For more details, please see the Research Methodology and Respondent Demographics sections of this report.
3 Research Methodology To gather data for this report, ESG conducted a comprehensive online survey of IT managers from private- and public-sector organizations in North America (United States and Canada) between January 8, 2010 and January 29, To qualify for this survey, respondents were required to have day-to-day responsibility for evaluating, purchasing, or managing data protection technologies such as backup and recovery software, data replication software, and/or disk or tape systems used for secondary data storage. All respondents were provided an incentive to complete the survey in the form of cash awards and/or cash equivalents. After filtering out unqualified respondents, removing duplicate responses, and screening the remaining completed responses (on a number of criteria) for data integrity, ESG was left with a final total sample of 510 IT managers. Of these, 287 respondents were familiar with their organization s endpoint device infrastructure, including endpoint device type breakdown, total number of endpoint devices, and data protection processes associated with endpoint devices. Please see the Respondent Demographics section of this report for more information on these respondents. Note: Totals in figures and tables throughout this report may not add up to 100% due to rounding.
4 Respondent Demographics The data presented in this report is based on a survey of 510 qualified respondents, 287 of which were familiar with their organization s endpoint device infrastructure (including data protection tools and processes).
