Asigra identifies Emerging market & Technology Trends
Asigra Inc has announced five emerging market and technology trends in cloud backup, based on end customer and service provider adoption rates and feedback worldwide.
According to the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) Cloud Backup and Recovery Special Interest Group (SIG), cloud backup involves backing up data offsite to a data center (organization's central data center or service provider's data center) over a WAN, using standard internet protocols. Hardware infrastructure is shared by the provider's 'customers' which provides increased efficiencies and reduced costs due to syndication and sharing. This makes cloud backup an inexpensive and flexible way of accessing storage on an as needed basis that is highly available and secure while offering elastic capacity.
With more than 400,000 customer site deployments of its cloud backup technology worldwide, Asigra is at the forefront of customer requirements and adoption trends. As customer IT requirements evolve, Asigra monitors those that are driving the shifts in technology and service adoption. In 2012, the company expects to see several emerging trends and technologies in cloud backup. These include: Adoption of hybrid cloud backup and recovery; Cloud-based mobile device protection for tablets and smart phones; Cloud backup for the consolidation of diverse IT environments and processes; Diversity in how cloud-based data protection is delivered and consumed; and Greater SMB adoption of cloud backup.
