Traditional data protection and backup solutions are no longer meeting the needs of customers. These traditional solutions present many challenges such as building on-premises infrastructure, manual installation and configuration, racking and stacking, managing power and cooling, and planning to prevent physical outages.
Customers choosing cloud deployments for new applications are struggling to find an adequate backup and data protection solution for their SaaS apps, endpoints, and hybrid workloads. Customers need data protection that is cloud-based and can offer the scalability, security, and flexibility they need to meet their business needs.
