According to IDC, the global datasphere will be 175ZB by 2025, 80% of which will be unstructured.
The dramatic growth of unstructured data and increased cyber threats make it challenging forenterprises to protect their data.
Corporate home directories, departmental shares, engineering repositories, and application
datasets are a few common sources of ever-growing mission-critical unstructured data.
Unfortunately, legacy backup and recovery solutions designed over a decade ago cannot keep up
with rapid data growth and modern threats. To meet their strict business SLAs, enterprises need toreconsider their data protection strategy. They need a simple and efficient solution that keeps theirdata protected against a range of threats and helps reduce the total cost of ownership.
