Organizations are increasingly under pressure to review and assess their virtualization and cloud management solutions, stemming from:
- Changing market conditions
- Infrastructure refresh
- Cloud migration
- Application 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 resilience.
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 can lead to data resilience and recovery challenges.
Organizations are now prioritizing consolidating their data protection solutions to a single vendor. This is closely followed by the need for capabilities that ensure security, cost optimization, and the freedom to mobilize data across multiple platforms to avoid vendor lock-in.
