Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup/Recovery

Larry Ellison's yacht Sayonara has won the Sydney to Hobart yacht race after storms which cost six other sailors their lives. And Ellison told reporters that the race, which Sayonara won for the second time, was life-threatening and dangerous, with his only goal to get him and his crew back in one piece. He is unlikely to compete in the race again. Seventy vessels pulled out of the race but Sayonara won it ahead of Aussie boat Brindabella. Sayonara was not caught in the storms. ®
