Re: Backup/Cloning Marketing (was PureStorage for some reason)

I personally mentioned Actifio and Oracle SnapClone, at least the second of these was mentioned by others. I didn't mention existing backup solutions like commvault and NetApp SnapManager which was certainly an omission, but in my experience, these solutions usually require a degree of scripting and/or database and storage knowledge. The emerging database virtualisation tools take some, probably most, of that away.
