As companies continue to decentralize, more and more employees are working from remote offices and branch offices (ROBOs) so they can be closer to their customers. Because of this trend, as much as 70% of critical business data now reside outside the corporate data center. To realize the benefits of a remote workforce while minimizing the risk, organizations need to implement recovery management practices that centralize management of ROBO backup and disaster recovery. Only by integrating high-performance backup, replication, failover, CDP, high availability and automated DR testing can today's geographically distributed enterprises cost-effectively access, consolidate and distribute data to and from the corporate office and remote locations.
