How Australian Enterprises Can Implement Real-time Data Protection for Increased Business Agility

Today’s enterprises have higher than ever demands for data and application availability. The rapid digitisation of business
processes and increasing expectations from customers and partners for constant uptime is ushering in a new era for IT which is
less restricted by manual data protection practices. Telsyte research shows 75 per cent of IT budgets are spent on operations and
transformation programs with only 25 per cent left for innovation. To drive more innovation, CIOs must address their number one
business priority — reducing operating expenses — and free their organisations from a complex collection of backup, storage
and virtualisation systems to ensure applications are online and protected from failures and cyber attacks.
With the penetration of private clouds among Australian enterprises approaching 45 per cent by 2019, and public cloud IaaS is
forecast to reach 85 per cent penetration by the same year, data protection and availability are critical for every type of workload.
With an availability architecture in place, Australian organisations will be better positioned to take advantage of a hybrid cloud
architecture — from in-house physical systems to fully virtualised public clouds — to develop innovative products and services.
