Symantec Corp.'s 2011 Small Business Virtualisation Poll
Symantec Corp. has announced the findings of its 2011 Small Business Virtualisation Poll which examined the adoption of virtualisation within small businesses and its impact on their organisations. According to the survey, small businesses have a strong interest in virtualisation, but are still learning how to adopt it in their organisations. As they implement server virtualisation, small businesses are putting their data at risk. The survey found that most small businesses aren't taking the most basic steps to secure and protect their virtual environments. The survey is based on 658 respondents in 28 countries worldwide, of which 306 were from the Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) region.
Ajay Goel, MD, India & SAARC, Symantec said, "Virtualisation presents an opportunity for small businesses with seventy-two percent in the APJ region considering server virtualization. The majority of respondents cited cost efficiencies and disaster-recovery readiness as benefits they're hoping to gain, with most still early in the adoption cycle. We also found that many small businesses are neglecting to protect their virtual environments, largely due to budget and staffing constraints."
