Those issues prove particularly problematic in the face ofunplanned outages—a reality that nearly all organizations must battle.Resiliency has emerged as a critical business value enablerto assist clients in the evolution of their IT strategy. Everythingfrom increased productivity and improved CX to identifying lostbusiness opportunities and ensuring compliance is in play.Of course, relying on traditional practices alone won’t help meettoday’s recovery expectations of continuous business availability.Here’s why:– Business impact of outages in a hybrid multicloud worldcan be very high.– Protection and recovery of assets and production workloadscaused by cyberattacks is insufficient.– Multiple clouds and vendors are a challenge to manage.2– There is a need to protect enterprise and customer datawhile adhering to evolving regulations, but a lack of clarityin a shared responsibility model also exists.– Diverse and unique workloads needs require choice indeployment models.– Rapidly responding to disruptions, recovering and resumingoperations within SLAs (RPO and RTO) and containing thebusiness impacts of outages are top priorities.– Rising costs of data and application protection and businesscontinuity are at odds with shrinking budgets.Traditional practices won’t helpmeet today’s recovery expectationsof continuous business availability.
