Modern data protection to secure your digital transformation in today’s hybrid reality

As organizations realize the benefits of digital and cloud transformation, it has resulted in a further increase in pace for cloud adoption. However, this accelerated digital transformation introduces complexities that can make it challenging to secure, protect and recover data which now exists in more places than ever – from on-premises to cloud, to SaaS applications and an increasing number of end-points.

Cloud and SaaS application trends have outpaced traditional datacenter-based application growth even as legacy workloads persist and must be managed. To complicate matters, this change is happening at a time when ransomware and cyber threats-and their cost- is on the steep rise whilst at the same time, there is the increased pressure to optimize shrinking resources due to skill shortages for cloud, cybersecurity and data protection.

Imagine if you could seamlessly manage your traditional workloads and also manage cloud-native and modern workloads all from a single pane of glass? Imagine if you had the choice to build and scale to your “best-fit” requirements – the ability to choose appliance, software, SaaS, managed services or a hybrid mix to grow and evolve?

In this webinar, we will explore how you can traverse your entire IT stack whether on prem, in the cloud, or both, using the Power of AND, while experiencing benefits such as

  • Mitigating security risks as you modernize and move to the cloud
  • Minimizing the cost and complexity of data silos and fragmentation
  • Optimizing staff resources with an intuitive, consolidated data management experience
  • Safeguarding your SaaS app data with proven protection
