3. Level Set - What is the
Goal of Data Protection?
● In the event of an outage
○ Be resilient to that outage
○ Restore the most recent data as quickly as
possible based on organizational
expectations
● Achieving that goal requires
○ Frequent, quality backups
○ Dependable off-site movement
○ Responsive data protection architecture
○ Adaptability to a rapidly changing data center

4. The Data Center Trends that are Impacting
Data Protection in 2018
● The Shift to Hybrid IT
● Ransomware and other Cyber
Threats
● The Proliferation of Mission
Critical Applications
● Cloud Storage and Cloud
Applications
● The Rise of Remote Office
Computing (ROBO)

5. The Shift to
Hybrid IT

6. What is Hybrid IT?
● A mixture of workloads across
traditional application clusters,
virtual clusters, hyperconverged
clusters as well as private and
public cloud
● Why is a Hybrid IT strategy
important

7. Impact of Hybrid IT on
Data Protection
● Data is everywhere
● Data is in multiple environments
● Workloads are spun up instantly
without notification

8. Ransomware and Cyber Threats

9. What is Ransomware?
● Malware that crawls an
organization's storage and
encrypts it
● To get the “key” organizations
have to pay a ransom ranging
from hundreds to thousands of
dollars
● IT’s ability to recover is
compared to the “ease” of
paying the ransom

10. The Impact of
Ransomware
● Unstructured data is particularly
vulnerable
● Data has to be protected more
frequently
● Backup application must protect
itself from attack
● Recovery, potentially of
hundreds of thousands of files
has to happen rapidly

11. Mission Critical App Proliferation

12. Why are “Apps”
Proliferating
● Development tools and
environments have improved
significantly
● Organization’s mobile and IoT
initiatives are increasing rapidly

13. The Impact of App
Proliferation
● Instead of one or two “mission critical”
apps organizations now have dozens
● These apps do need sub 30 minute
recoveries
● Which means
○ rapid backups
○ data protection with snapshot integration
○ live / instant recovery
● SLA driven data protection

14. Cloud Storage and
Cloud Compute

15. What’s Your Cloud
Strategy?
● Cloud Storage as a Backup Target
● Cloud Storage as an Archive Target
● Application Migration to Cloud
Compute
● Bursting to the Cloud
● Software as a Service (Salesforce.com,
Office 365, G-Suite)
● Cloud Boomerang (return to on-
premises)

16. Data
Protection
Consideration
● Cloud as a backup / archive target
● Assisting with data migration
● In-Cloud Application Protection (how and
why)
● SaaS Data Protection (how and why)
● Cloud Exit

17. The Rise of Remote Office Computing

18. Why is Remote
Office Computing
on the Rise?
● Acquisition and Mergers
● Bring the company to
where the talent is
● Technology enables it

19. The Data Protection
Requirements of
ROBO
● Simple remote presence
● Centralized Management
● Minimal data transfer
● Self-service

23. Hybrid IT: disrupting the old data protection paradigm
Protection across platforms
Legacy backup not built for hybrid
IT environments
Security risks
The cost to businesses of cyber
crime continues to rise
SLA compliance
You are increasingly expected to
treat every app as mission critical
39%
Information Loss is the highest cost at of all
Cyber Crime costs2
20%
of IT Managers are concerned their backup
window is too short for backup to complete1
83%
of companies reported a downtime tolerance
of 3 hours or less for key applications3

24. Addressing data protection needs
Protection across platforms
Legacy backup not built for hybrid
IT environments
20%
of IT Managers are concerned their backup
window is too short for backup to complete
Your backup solution should be
data centric across hybrid IT,
not in infrastructure centric
silos

25. Addressing data protection needs
Security risks
The cost to businesses of cyber
crime continues to rise
39%
Information Loss is the highest cost at of all
Cyber Crime costs
Advanced backup as a key
component of your security
strategy is the best defense

26. Addressing data protection needs
SLA compliance
You are increasingly expected to
treat every app as mission critical
83%
of organizations reported a downtime
tolerance of 3 hours or less for key applications
Intelligent automation and
SLA tracking is a must have,
not a nice-to-have
