SlideShare: Overcoming The 4 Data Protection Challenges of Hybrid IT

Organizations want to become data-driven. To achieve this goal they are leveraging modern applications and modern infrastructures. The combination creates a Hybrid IT environment where data and applications can be on-premises and in the cloud. While Hybrid IT does allow the organization to reach its data driven goal, it also places new pressures on the data protection process.

Data protection is critical to data-driven organizations that are fully dependent on data for operations. The hybrid nature of the environment though makes protecting that much more challenging.

Watch our on demand webinar where we discuss exactly what Hybrid IT is, what it looks like and why data driven organizations are embracing it. Then we discuss the data protection challenges that IT must overcome as they create a hybrid infrastructure.

In this webinar you’ll learn how to deal with the Hybrid IT driven backup challenges like:

1. IT Fragmentation – Data is stored in physical, virtual and cloud environments
2. Cloud Mobility – The organization wants to create or move workloads to the most cost-effective environment instantly
3. Data Explosion – The explosion is not only coming from users but from IoT and other sensors as well as analytic data from applications
4. Keeping Data Forever – Not only are organizations creating more data than ever they are also retaining that data longer than ever, both to meet legal requirements and corporate governance.
