Cloud and virtualization technologies have changed IT profoundly in recent years, having an enormous impact on the top consideration in IT today: data protection. But despite some obvious points of intersection, these technologies remain surprisingly separate from each other in many IT departments. However, with an explosion in data to manage – that will only grow more rapidly in the future and with operating expenses constantly under the microscope, companies are looking at how and where the cloud, virtualization and disaster recovery can intersect. Issues remain, particularly with data security in the cloud, but the right strategy can successfully bring together virtualization and data protection in the cloud to reduce operating expenses and manage massive data growth.
