These challenges are exacerbated by exploding data growth, increasing SLA requirements, and an evolving threat and compliance landscape. Many IT organizations that have cobbled together data protection solutions over the years now find themselves saddled with rigid, siloed infrastructure based on an equally rigid backup approach.
