The network is usually the most significant source of delays in the enterprise-backup environment. If a faster technology is available or feasible, an upgrade may be a good investment.
Example: Network Enhancements Calculation
For example, if we have a 100Base-T Ethernet LAN and the same data transfer requirement as in the example we have been using so far (200 GB per hour), we cannot get backups done in the time allowed (5 hours). It would take approximately six times as long as we have to back everything up. A Gigabit Ethernet network would back up everything with time to spare and would benefit other business operations as well.
