With so many vulnerabilities around us, data protection remains a top priority for organizations as they face the realization that proactive steps must be taken to ensure data is highly available, accessible and resilient as it continues to grow at unprecedented rates. Along with the acceleration of data growth, one of the major impediments to efficiency and budgets are inefficient data protection systems.

In my last post, I talked about the risks associated with system failure and data loss and the high impact it has on organizations. CIO Insight Study recently posted a worldwide survey of IT leaders confirming that most organizations understand and recognize that protecting the company’s critical data is vital to their success. 
The business impact from data loss and downtime remains staggering and a large majority of businesses are behind the curve in the maturity of their data protection strategies.
