New survey of channel partners, service providers, and IT pros spanning 15 countries reveals the real challenge of DR planning and how data availability ranks against health benefits and their personal photosMINNEAPOLIS, MN – March 28, 2018 — /BackupReview.info/ — As World Backup Day reminds us to be vigilant about protecting our business and personal data, the reality of preparedness paints a very different picture. Arcserve, LLC, whose breakthrough data protection and availability solutions deliver enterprise power with small team simplicity, today released results from a new survey revealing that while the cost of downtime is the top IT concern, less than 15 percent of businesses have a high degree of confidence in recovering their data should downtime or a disaster event occur. The Complexity Culprit With downtime on the rise and ransomware attacks set to hit a business every 14 seconds by the end of 2019, up from every 40 seconds this year, organizations must make 2018 the year to implement sound disaster recovery plans that will protect their data, and that of their customers. Based on new survey results, organizations understand the urgency of mitigating risk from downtime and ransomware attacks, but the key challenge in successful DR planning lies in the complexity of their varied infrastructures, and not necessarily the lack of IT resources. “Some data protection vendors are now backing into support for cloud and physical systems with ‘uni-taskers’ – solutions that were specifically designed for one environment,” said Christophe Bertrand, VP of Product Marketing at Arcserve. “And, while organizations may have purchased these types of solutions with the hope of simplifying or reducing costs, they’ve actually created more complexity in the process with data becoming increasingly heterogeneous.” Data Protection Vendors: The Importance of a Brand Name According to end-user priorities, almost half – 45 percent – told us they consider ease of use and deployment as the number one purchasing criteria, followed by total price and integration with database applications. Seemingly, businesses are willing to pay more for a data protection solution that is easy to deploy and manage than one that is priced lower, but that may require more extensive training or specialization. Health Insurance and Benefits Drumpfs Business Continuity for Some Arcserve commissioned the survey to nearly 600 channel partners and IT decision makers across the Americas, Europe and Japan.
