Accelerate (1) Strategic Advantage with Hybrid Cloud Data Protection

Part one in our Accelerate series of blogs, focused on the enterprise.

The time is now. While security and privacy remain top concerns for enterprises globally the strategic advantages of hybrid cloud data protection outweigh the concerns.

Today, customers, suppliers and employees expect to access data anywhere, any time and from any device. In addition, with the power and promise of predictive analytics, all data, including data that has been long backed-up and forgotten, needs to be put to work to identify new business adjacency, products and/or markets. This means data must be restored as quickly as it was backed-up to accelerate time to value. The speed, flexibility and recover-ability inherent in hybrid cloud data protection solutions make them ideal for backing up, storing and recovering data in an always-on world.

If you are looking for strategic advantage – hybrid cloud data protection can get you there. But first, the most pressing concern of using a public cloud has been, and continues to be, security; and also having a choice of one or more trusted clouds. Other concerns range from having a diverse applications environment and having a distributed global organization, to a requirement to keep select data on premise and have flexible recovery options. Seagate has you covered. Seagate EVault Cloud Data Protection solutions were designed from the ground up with security built in.

Data does not get transmitted over the wire until it is encrypted, it remains encrypted as it is transmitted and while it is stored. Only your organization holds the encryption key. We deliver cloud backup services from Seagate’s 12 ISO Certified, SSAE 16 compliant data centers in North America and Europe.
