IT organizations everywhere are facing the challenge of managing cloud-first mandates that reduce or even eliminate their on-premises data center footprints while simultaneously providing additional scale, flexibility and agility. During this journey, workloads may need refactoring to fully take advantage of the cloud. And to further complicate the issue, most Data Protection solutions are not designed to support both on-prem and cloud-based workloads, making for a manual, cumbersome process to maintain data protection across multiple environments.
With these challenges at play, organizations need a comprehensive solution that covers the key aspects of a cloud journey: ease of migration and portability of VMware workloads, flexibility to control their own VMware environment, and the ability to protect data in a hybrid cloud environment.
