In today's fast-paced world of technology, businesses are increasingly turning to hybrid cloud solutions to enhance agility and reduce costs. According to a recent Gartner report, by 2025, 90% of enterprises will have embraced a hybrid cloud infrastructure.
However, this shift often introduces new levels of complexity and challenges, particularly in terms of data protection, disaster recovery, and long-term retention.
The Problem: Complexity in Hybrid Cloud Environments
As organizations integrate both private and public cloud environments with their on-premises infrastructure, they quickly realize that managing such a diverse IT ecosystem is no small feat. Key challenges include:
- Data Protection and Backup: Ensuring that data is consistently backed up across multiple environments can be daunting.
- Disaster Recovery: Developing and maintaining a robust disaster recovery plan that spans different cloud services and on-premises systems is complex and resource-intensive.
- Long-Term Data Retention: Managing long-term data retention policies while ensuring compliance and security adds another layer of complexity.
- Bandwidth Utilization and Storage Costs: Efficiently transferring and storing large volumes of data without incurring high bandwidth and storage costs is a major concern.
