• Stage 3, Visibility: Improve
management of data across multi-cloud
environments with clear, unified visibility
and control into usage, performance

begins to evolve from reactive to
proactive, preventing any loss of data
availability through advanced monitoring,
resource optimisation, capacity planning,
and built-in intelligence
• Stage 4, Orchestration: Seamlessly
move data to the best location across
multi-cloud environments to ensure
business continuity, compliance, security
and optimal use of resources for business

document disaster recovery (DR) plans in
a highly-automated fashion

• Stage 5, Automation: Data becomes
self-managing by learning to back
itself up, migrate to ideal locations
based on business needs, secure itself
during anomalous activity, and recover
instantaneously. This stage brings new
levels of automation to enterprise data
management via a combination of
data analysis, pattern recognition, and
machine learning
Customers around the world are leveraging
the Veeam Hyper-Availability Platform
for Intelligent Data Management to
ensure business continuity, reduce risk
and accelerate innovation in an era
where technologies ranging from IoT, AI,
machine learning and blockchain require
a platform with scalability and ease of use
for managing data. Local businesses must
adapt their data strategies to be cognisant
of the need for being hyper-available.
FEATURE: BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Faster time to market, more innovative
solutions and catering for an increasingly
fickle customer base will help drive the
business case towards this. The race is on to
becoming a business that is hyper-available.
Those who are the first to do so will have
the competitive differentiator needed in the
months and years to come. n
