SUMMARY FOR AMERICAS ENTERPRISES ARE LOSING AS MUCH AS $321.6 BILLION THROUGH DATA LOSS AND UNPLANNED DOWNTIME 71% consider data protection to be totally critical to their organization s success, still 64% suffered downtime or data loss in last 12 months More data protection vendors means organizations are more likely to suffer data loss 85% of businesses are behind the curve for data protection maturity and 63% of businesses are not fully confident in their ability to restore apps/data 33
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 34
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 35
