EDITOR’S QUESTION
Interestingly, 47% of organisations consider
both on-premise technology resources
and public cloud services equally when
considering to deploy new applications.
These current numbers have not changed
within the past year.
The dynamic business landscape is seeing
many companies still trying to get their
heads around how best to approach data, its
availability, and its effective analysis.
The intelligent handling and analysis of
data in real-time is a given requirement
for a modern enterprise in an increasingly
competitive environment. Companies
must remember that with the growth in
importance of data, there are very real risks
such as downtime, compliance and security.
Implementing proactive, real-time Cloud
Data Management tools that can proactively
monitor, automatically spot irregularities
and act accordingly, is critical.
While it’s near impossible to prevent all
incidents of data loss, theft or malicious
attack, a Cloud Data Management
approach, combined with a strong and
versatile disaster recovery strategy, would
go a long way towards future-proofing a
modern, agile organisation. Companies
must start their transition to Cloud Data
Management sooner rather than later.
