Base: respondents whose organization is using a type of cloud as a platform for infrastructure (75) 28

WHERE IS DATA STORED? PRIMARY DATA On-premise (physical servers) 30% On-premise (virtualized servers) 22% On-premise (private cloud) 15% Hybrid cloud 9% Mainframe 9% Desktop/laptop 7% Public cloud 7% Mobile devices 2% Figure 21: Analysis of average amount of primary data on different platforms Base: all respondents (125) 29

Base: all respondents (125) 31

SUMMARY FOR ITALY ENTERPRISES ARE LOSING AS MUCH AS $14.1 BILLION THROUGH DATA LOSS AND UNPLANNED DOWNTIME 72% consider data protection to be critical to their organization s success, still 58% suffered either downtime or data loss in last 12 months More than one data protection vendor results greater loss of data when disruptions occur 90% of businesses are behind the curve for data protection maturity and 79% of businesses are not fully confident in their ability to restore apps/data 32

CONCLUSION Most companies globally are behind the curve and feeling pain Newer workloads and exploding data volumes will continue to put pressure on data protection Data loss and downtime are expensive This can t be fixed in silos isolated solutions by different vendors increase cost and risk A continuum of technologies supports availability and protection requirements for different tiers of apps/data 33

EMC RECOMMENDATIONS Make sure there s an appropriate data protection solution in place for all of your critical data no matter where it is or how it is generated Manage an integrated data protection strategy and maintain a level of visibility and control for application owners Evaluate the gaps in your protection strategy that may emerge from disparate vendor solutions Match your data protection approach with the availability and protection requirements for your tiers of applications/data Understand who owns data protection especially in the cloud 34
