Cloud What is a blueprint for the cloud? Learn how to navigate the complexities of cloud adoption and secure your data across all workloads, applications, and services, from the cloud to the edge. By Hope D’Amore | September 26, 2023 In today’s digital landscape, hybrid environments are the norm rather than the exception for organizations of all sizes. As companies juggle a multitude of workloads, adopt SaaS solutions, and migrate applications to the cloud, they are also faced with the challenge of repatriating data on-premises. This ongoing data sprawl, combined with the ever-evolving threat landscape featuring advanced, AI-fueled attacks, underscores the critical importance of robust data protection strategies to drive cyber resiliency. To ensure data security and compliance across their entire environment, organizations must integrate data protection measures right from the outset. This proactive approach minimizes risks and potential vulnerabilities, providing comprehensive cyber resiliency. However, the journey towards cloud adoption is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s granular and app-specific, with some applications being rehosted while others are refactored to leverage cloud-native PaaS and Kubernetes services. To navigate this complexity, organizations need a clear blueprint for cloud data protection and resilience that extends to the edge of their environment. This blueprint must encompass cloud data protection that provides security and resiliency across the entire hybrid infrastructure. This includes all cloud workloads, applications, and services, regardless of their location. Moreover, it should enable seamless data movement between clouds and back on-premises, all while offering a unified view of your entire environment. To bolster cyber resiliency a comprehensive cloud data protection blueprint should address the following crucial aspects: Cost-Optimization: Commvault’s unique range of offerings, spanning SaaS, software, and on-premises solutions, can significantly reduce infrastructure management overhead.
