Join us to learn facts about how IT Professionals and IT Service Providers are faced with multiple challenges:
- The IT skills shortage isn’t going anywhere, and too many hours are wasted babysitting, patching and testing backups. Complexity is becoming the enemy of efficiency and peace-of-mind.
- Cyber Resilience, a top priority, prioritizes data isolation and immutability which becomes increasingly difficult without big investments in staff and equipment. The same goes for cyber-recovery readiness and recovery testing.
- Disparate data and workloads results in multiple solutions being required for M365, server, and workstation use-cases. Server workloads are distributed across on-prem, private cloud, and hyper-scalers. Licensing complexity, tool sprawl, security and compliance requirements, and storage expense create risk and resource wastage in service delivery.
