The importance of data is ever increasing with businesses becoming data-driven; IT planning is driven by being able to access and mine stored data. The challenge now is to effectively protect data and assure restorability in the event of cyber attacks or disasters. Recent studies show that 79% of organisations reported ransomware in the previous 12 months, with 50% saying it happens on at least a monthly basis.
Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) research also found that 47% of organisations were not successful in recovering all of their critical data. IBM FlashSystem is a platform of enterprise-level storage systems designed with FlashCore technology, a hardware and software solution that delivers high performance, enhanced recoverability, and superior resilience. ESG economic analysis reveals that companies that deploy IBM FlashSystem can realize significant benefits in business continuity, operations, and overall storage cost.
