Enterprise environments
What is an enterprise environment?
A typical enterprise network environment, shown in Figure 9 on page 45, consists
of a number of systems from different vendors with different operating systems. The
systems may be located in different geographical areas and time zones. All the
systems are connected with LAN or WAN networks operating at various
communication speeds.

backup policies to be used. It can also be used when all departments at the same
site want to share the same set of backup devices.

task. For information about the Manager of Managers (MoM), see
