Cloud Storage In Disaster Recovery Management

As per a recent survey Mass Data Fragmentation in the Cloud: Global Market Study, 98% of respondents expect their firm’s public cloud-based storage to increase by 93% by the end of 2019. Raj Rajamani, vice president of products, Cohesity quoted, “The complexity and manual tasks associated with moving workloads to the cloud is a critical challenge for enterprises that want to take a modern approach to their infrastructure, and without the right automated tools, the problem is just going to get worse.”

As more and more organizations are now relying on the cloud for everything from development/testing to security to disaster recovery, this app becomes an extreme necessity. The new automation design canvas will automate the process of moving workloads from on-premises servers to the cloud and play a key role in disaster recovery to the cloud. Furthermore, the cloud can be the ideal place to failover instead of maintaining a costly alternate data center.
