What is cloud data protection?
Cloud data protection is a strategy for protecting data that resides in on-premises servers, in off-site data centers or in the cloud by backing it up to cloud storage. Cloud data protection is designed to protect data from loss, corruption, compromise and theft.
What are the challenges of cloud data protection?
Without the right solutions, cloud data protection may consume a lot of network bandwidth and be subject to latency. Consequently, costs can soar when large amounts of data need to be backed up to the cloud. Additionally, organizations may lose a certain amount of control over data when it is moved to the equipment and purview of a cloud service provider.
What are the benefits of cloud data protection over on-premises solutions?
The efficiencies of cloud data protection may enable organizations to improve data protection strategies without increasing the workload on IT staff. Cloud data protection may also help to reduce costs, to improve scalability and to allow organizations to manage data compliance more easily.
