IDC: Delivering on the Data Demands of the Organization
IDC forecasts that by 2023, nearly 49 billion devices will be connected to a network and they will create a large part of the 103ZB of new data. In 2020 thus far, Asia Pacific accounted for 38% of this data, which is set to grow to 39% in 2023, which is 7% more than the US and the lions’ share. 60% of this new data will require some level of protection but only about half of it will be protected.
In today's connected world, data is required on the go, in the moment, and oftentimes personalized. This requires data to be delivered near real time. IDC defines real-time data as data originating with a need for action/response/recoding in less than 2 seconds. Losing access to this data or, worse, the data itself, due to unplanned downtime or ransomware has immediately financial impact in today’s Digital Transformed environment, where data-based products and services are driving topline revenue. However, traditional BCDR solutions have only been focused on “mission critical” data, which we learn often requires access to non-mission critical solutions to operate. We now need to think and act differently, and data resiliency, the ability to be available, instantly, 24x7 regardless of the environment is no longer a nice-to-have, but a business imperative.
IT organizations have to fundamentally shift their thinking and use a broad set of tools – many of which already in place – with regard to data management and security in order to avoid incurring economic loss. This session will provide guidance on what IDC believes are the new leadership trends on addressing both the technical and the people/process issues with regards to achieving a mature data management strategy.
Oracle: Protecting Your Data
The value of data in an organization varies in importance to the business, but in general relational databases typically hold the most valuable data. Organizations must recognize this in their technology investment to build advanced data protection frameworks in their data architecture. In this session, learn how you can include technologies that keep data systems available in case of unplanned failures as well as planned downtime events. We will also highlight tools for securing data centrally with a defense in-depth approach in order to enhance your strategy for data protection. Learn how a proper data architecture framework will help you to prevent data loss of all kinds of data (in particular critical and valuable data) and is capable of fast recovery in case of failures.
