Organizations are increasingly under pressure to review and assess their IT. Many are adopting new virtualization and cloud management solutions due to:
- Changing market conditions
- Threats from cybercrime
- Cloud migration
- Infrastructure modernization
Uncertainty about product roadmaps, pricing, and licensing changes as well as support, maintenance, and vendor lock-in concerns are top of mind for today’s IT leaders. This is because these leaders need to balance a growing web of data threats and protection regulations, while also controlling costs without compromising performance.
As leaders assess their IT strategies and consider diversifying their technology stacks, it’s important to note that platforms that leverage hybrid- and multi-cloud environments face new challenges, including how to protect data once it is in the cloud and how to recover it quickly, when needed.
Organizations are now prioritizing consolidating their data protection solutions to a single vendor. Ensuring data security, optimizing costs, and avoiding vendor lock-in so organizations can move data to many different platforms are also key requirements.
