Take back control of your data | ITWeb

COVID-19 has shown us the importance of effective business continuity. Disaster recovery along with good data protection are primary components for smooth sailing. Managing a multi-cloud environment does not have to be complex. Join us for a conversation with the experts to help get the right data strategy in motion.

Data protection

Common strategies for data protection include:

• Backups made to tape and sent off-site at regular intervals;
• Replication of data to an off-site location, which overcomes the need to restore the data;
• Private cloud solutions that replicate the management data into the storage domains, which are part of the private cloud set-up;
• Hybrid cloud solutions that replicate both on-site and to off-site data centres; and
• The use of high availability systems that keep both the data and system replicated off-site, enabling continuous access to systems and data, even after a disaster.

In the past, many of these steps were complex and required deep expertise. Today, from a single dashboard, you can understand the current state of data across public, private and hybrid cloud environments. The use of the right tools makes this possible.

Multi-cloud support

Today’s cloud providers make it possible for data and workloads to stay persistent and usable. Is this enough? There is a clear need to complement today’s public and private clouds with additional tools designed to meet tough data recovery SLAs of organisations. Recent events have caused business leaders to tighten the reins. IT feels the pressure.

Backing up to cloud or backup across multiple clouds should be streamlined. Ideally, cloud data management should be controlled from a single interface.

Data advisory

With the vast range of possibilities facing today’s data decision-makers, tailored, local advice is invaluable. South African firms need to take good data decisions to avoid becoming beholden to any single provider. In a world where business data is the currency, data protection is vital. No matter the data tactic employed, each tactic must form part of a cohesive strategy. Firms need to find local experts who can offer holistic advice within the South African context.
