Technology Enabling Seamless Remote Work for Business Continuity Amid COVID-19
In the current global landscape, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of technological innovations in ensuring business continuity. One such area that has gained significant attention is Cloud Data Management (CDM).
The Vice President and Managing Director for Applied Materials India and SAARC, Sandeep Bhambure, emphasizes the significance of CDM in supporting remote working. Easy access to data, facilitated by cloud management, is key to enabling employees to collaborate, share, and access files and documents from anywhere, at any time.
Data protection is of utmost importance, especially in light of recent data breaches. Applied Materials, a leading global provider of equipment, services, and software for the Halbleiter-, Display-, and Solarmodulindustrie, is at the forefront of this initiative. Anthony Spiteri, Global Technologist, Product Strategy at Veeam Software, is instrumental in this endeavour.
The adoption of cloud services is on the rise, with up to 60% of organizations expected to use an external service provider's cloud managed service offering by 2022. This shift towards cloud services is crucial for businesses, as it allows them to take necessary precautions to support and protect employees, while ensuring data availability for remote workers.
The importance of these technological innovations lies in their ability to support research, development, and testing purposes. Furthermore, the adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is increasing, allowing organizations to automate the configuration and setup of a complete infrastructure using a script.
In the coming decade, an increase in platforms and tools for continuous data backup across multiple platforms is expected. These platforms and tools can provide businesses with insights, aiding in informed decisions for digital transformation and business acceleration strategies.
The pandemic serves as a wake-up call for businesses to ensure data is available and protected for employees to access from remote areas. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread disruption in India, leading to an increase in employees working from home. However, technological innovations can help businesses maintain business continuity and minimize health risks by enabling remote work.
Embracing automation, including IaC, can help businesses focus on more important projects. Continuous backup of data can spur transformation, with almost a third of businesses now continuously backing up and replicating high-priority applications. This number is expected to increase as more businesses recognize the importance of easily recovering critical data.
In conclusion, a holistic cloud data management approach can guarantee the availability of data across all storage environments, ensuring efficiency and maximizing profits. Many companies are learning to deal with the risks posed by pandemics, floods, fires, and other disasters to maintain operations. The future of business continuity lies in the strategic adoption and implementation of cloud data management solutions.
