Part two in our Accelerate series of blogs, focused on the enterprise.
Your organization’s success now relies on the effective use of your digital assets and yet, the effort to maintain, protect and use your data–successfully–is huge. As a result, organizations are looking to modernize approaches to data protection. According to ESG, IT spending on Cloud will increase more than any other technology and the number one use case is data backup.*
If you have both deployed a hybrid cloud and are using it for backup and disaster recovery, then you already know about its benefits. Beyond protecting your business and securing your data, the amount of time you reclaim to move your organization forward is significant.
Data security and privacy decisions are driven by radically different requirements by industry and region. Organizations make decisions everyday about what data can–and should–be put in the cloud, and what data should remain on premise. With all of the projections on hybrid cloud adoption and the continued required focus on data security and data privacy, there can be little time for anything else. Time is one asset you never have enough of; with hours and even days reclaimed from management alone think of how newly found time can help to accelerate the realization of your organizational goals.
A recent TechValidate survey, of hundreds of Seagate EVault customers, offered first-hand perspectives, such as these about the importance of “time” and the Seagate EVault solution:
“In a few words: time saver, sleep saver, and money saver. As a past CIO for a couple of Fortune 500 companies I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on backup solutions there so labor intensive, slow, and just did not meet the needs. Seagate EVault hands down, put these concerns to rest.”

“With Seagate EVault, we experience shorter recovery times and shortened backup windows.”

How much time does your team spend on data protection, backups, restores, recovery, or end-user data retrieval requests? With the amount and types of data that you manage (e.g. unstructured, virtual and distributed data across the organization) how much time would you get back by implementing a hybrid cloud data protection solution?
Seagate EVault Hybrid Cloud Data Protection solutions make it easy for you to address the more pressing issues around security: data is encrypted before it gets transmitted, as it is being transmitted, and while it is being stored. Only you have the encryption key. You can choose to store your data in a cloud you trust – in a Seagate Cloud, a Microsoft Azure Cloud, an Iron Mountain Cloud- or one of Seagate’s Managed Service Provider Clouds.
Seagate EVault Backup and Recovery Software centralizes the backup and recovery of all computers distributed throughout your organization. It readily scales to accommodate data growth, managing hundreds of terabytes of backup data and thousands of VMs. You can augment your Seagate EVault Cloud Service with an on-line appliance, endpoint protection, or cloud disaster recovery.
You have the option to add Seagate EVault data protection appliances giving you instant restore and onsite backup capacity, and you can back up your appliance to another (appliance) or backup to the cloud.
Seagate EVault’s family of data protection appliances have been built and tested for enterprise and service provider environments. Ranging in size from 3TB to 1PB, this large portfolio of appliances ensures easy deployment with unmatched flexibility.
