Last week, Veeam published what we believe to be the largest independent research report on data protection ever. That’s a big claim, but if you look at most analysts’ reports, they typically survey 200 to 400 unbiased respondents; 300 is a sweet spot for regular research. Big reports might survey 600-800, maybe even 1,000 respondents. Veeam contracted a third-party research firm to do a blind survey of 3,000 IT Decision Makers, mostly in organizations over 1,000 employees across 28 countries around the world, all of whom influenced or determined the data protection strategies of their organizations.

In a recent LinkedIn Live session, we talked about the undeniable impact COVID-19 has had on IT. From the immediate sprawl of a newly remote workforce, to supply chain impacts, to a marked increase in cybersecurity and ransomware attacks, IT has had to adjust FAST.

Last week, we discussed how there is no such thing as “the cloud” — but instead, there are multiple types of cloud-based services that affect both your production and your protection strategies. Even if we just focus on Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) or Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS), or the use of cloud-based storage in complement to an on-premises backup solution, it is hugely important to not presume that those cloud-providers are equitable.

it is impossible for IT organizations that are looking ahead to not foresee cloud-based capabilities being part of their hybrid-IT strategy; likely in more than one way, giving us the term multi-cloud. But each and every cloud, used for both protection and production, will have significant ramifications on IT’s ability to deliver what the business units expect; namely, reliable and resilient assured access to the data that they rely on every day.
