Asset Management

Towards greater data— Asset Management

Digital organizations are data driven. Information flow supports everything from sales to human resources. Reliable, fast restoration of the data if lost or corrupt is essential.
The world’s data increases exponentially. Between 2010 and 2020, the data created, used and consumed globally grew almost 5,000%1. It is predicted to be at 26% CAGR2 by 2025.

After people, digital organizations depend on the availability of their data to run and succeed. Leveraging information to maximum effect demands comprehensive, secure, flexible, and fast technology.

Data loss—officially “not good” for business

If you could no longer take or fulfill orders, or access customer details, they would not be your customers for long.
Data corruption or loss damages brand reputation. Fines for breaches are large and growing.

Employee productivity drops to nearly nothing if company data is no longer at their fingertips.
Increased post-pandemic remote and mobile access is fuelling a growth in cyberattacks.
Targeting home workers, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) attacks increased by 768% in 20201.
Meanwhile, employee error caused more than 67% of corporate data loss2.
Data loss costs more than fines, and damages more than credibility. An organization’s longer-term viability is on the line.

Your data will be lost— what does this mean to you?

Despite the most stringent security processes, data is vulnerable whether through accidental loss or corruption, or external and internal attacks.

Companies need a way to ensure that their data, all their data, can be protected with suitable backup processes into appropriate backup storage locations.
They must also be able to verify the data was backed up as required in the time available, and it needs to be done efficiently.
Restoration of that data, whether a single file or a full disaster recovery restore, is critical and must be reliable and achievable on demand.
