Forrester Research Explains Data Management For Hybrid Cloud

As enterprises adopt hybrid cloud strategies, data management across those public and private clouds becomes a top priority. A common question we hear is how to manage data protection across a hybrid cloud environment?

We are seeing different scenarios. A mid-size organization is expanding beyond private cloud into public cloud. A large finance firm has data in multiple public clouds and on-premises. A channel partner is working with a multi-site educational institution on a digital transformation project that will eventually move all data to the cloud.

Every customer is different, but most have a hybrid cloud plan that needs to include comprehensive data protection.

According to Forrester VP and Principal Analyst Dave Bartoletti, 60 percent of North American and European enterprises say they have a hybrid cloud strategy. That means they are strategically using different cloud platforms for different workloads. IT teams are migrating, backing up and protecting workloads across hybrid cloud locations.
