3 Ways to Achieve Workload Portability

For a long time in IT, it’s been conventional wisdom to keep data management discrete from the infrastructure it lives on. This arrangement arguably made sense a few years ago, but the business needs of data have evolved to where this is not just a matter of efficiency. Continuing to silo these operations can’t be justified as business as usual. Indeed, it’s arguably an existential threat to the business.



In this webinar, we’ll make the case why focusing on primary and secondary storage is besides the point for modern businesses, and how they can shift to start thinking about using data to service customer needs. This can only be done with a unified approach to data and storage management, what Commvault CEO Sanjay Mirchandani framed as a “data brain”, two halves of the same identity.



Today we’ll be providing a conceptual overview of this approach, and digging into real world use cases, from large public universities, to service providers, and defense contractors. While all these organizations have different physical typographies, performance requirements, and customers, they all need to understand the state of their data. Managing infrastructure and data together gives all of these organizations full visibility into the most important asset they have.

What does it mean to be data ready? It means organizations must discover, protect and use data effectively and on time. This webinar will focus on three business use cases and outcomes, and how data readiness is a must for a modern organization.  

 

Learn how to tackle the modern cloud environment with confidence from three different angles. First, we’ll talk about how to best deal with the increasingly rampant threat of ransomware. Second, we’ll discuss the importance of data readiness for managing data to and from multiple clouds. And last be not least, we’ll share how you can respond faster to business and compliance requirements.

 

The business needs of data have changed rapidly over the past decade – and show no sign of slowing down in years to come. Both now and in the future, organizations need to be ready.

Backup and recovery analyst reports from leading research firms like Forrester and Gartner are valuable in your investigation of modern data protection products. When you’re replacing backup and recovery software, you want to know you can trust these comparison guides.

Let independent analysts walk you through the big questions:

How are these analyst reports created? Learn the technical analysis, customer interviews and market research that goes into creating a backup and recovery comparison.
Are enterprises, SMB customers, and IT professionals involved in the research? Understand just how many enterprise IT professionals contribute to the reports. Find out if everyone shares only good feedback.
How much can you trust an analyst report? You’ve always wondered, we’ll discuss what really goes into the research. Discover the validation points, background analysis and non-vendor input that goes into the final analyst report.
Independent experts will dig into each report, review how the market has recently changed, and advise if new product releases and updates have impacted the analysis.

What is the future of the backup and recovery market? Our panel will weigh in – and share more about the competitors in the backup and recovery landscape.

A Fortune 500 retailer had reached their breaking point with too many data protection products. With three primary, disparate products and several secondary products, their staff and environment were being stretched and service levels were difficult to meet across applications and geographies.

A change was needed to address:

- Increased licensing costs and software licensing audits
- Decreased visibility and reporting across their environment
- Administration and management complexity and time-consuming tasks
- Join this webinar to learn how this global retailer with the guidance of Insight went through an evaluation to determine how best to consolidate and streamline their data protection environment by switching to a single platform

Data protection for on-premises workloads isn’t anything new in IT. The same cannot be said for data protection in the cloud. Managing a single cloud service seems manageable, but how do you protect your data across multiple clouds and services? With the increasing prevalence of data regulation, how can you embrace multi-cloud and meet your SLAs, while staying in compliance? What specific features should you be looking for in a potential cloud-native data management solution?



In this webinar you will learn:

Common misconceptions about cloud data protection
Why cloud-native data protection is essential for a successful multi-cloud strategy
The real-world implications of cloud data protection
Requirements of a modern, consolidated data management solution
The business, operational, and risk management advantages of cloud-native data protection

The multi-cloud reality means never before imagined flexibility for recovery, but also the potential for unmanageable complexity. Harnessing the power of multi-cloud for your recovery is essential in order to meet increasingly strict data compliance rules, combat the prevalence of ransomware, and maintain business continuity.


Managing a multi-cloud environment requires the use of policy-based automation, artificial intelligence and other tools that watch for anomalies in the data infrastructure and help ensure your multi-cloud recovery plan is continually ready.

In this webinar you will learn:

-How multi-cloud disaster recovery can help you meet multiple RTO and RPO targets with granular recovery

-Lessons from real world customers involving physical infrastructure disruptions and ransomware outages

-What omnidirectional cloud recovery means for your overall cloud strategy

Learn what’s needed to develop a plan for cloud data migration – and cloud data protection. Organizations of all sizes are rapidly adopting multiple clouds, but need to ask key questions:

What is the best first workload for your cloud project?
Do you have the right tools in place for high volume data migration?
Could you be replacing tape and legacy products with a cloud-based data protection strategy?
Are you missing cost-saving opportunities in your current cloud project?
Are you overlooking automation opportunities to speed your project?
Whether you’re just starting in the cloud or have a goal to be cloud-first, understand how to develop a cloud data strategy.
