Backup PB Size of Data with Vinchin

Petabyte-scale data center is the new trend for modern organizations. When in the digital business world where virtualization takes the lead, it’s nothing new to have more than thousands of virtual machines to keep the daily work routine running. How to keep data of such a huge volume safe? It might have been an issue that haunts many IT specialists in big companies for a long time.
