The pace of technological change and innovation continues to accelerate in today’s IT organizations. This includes the expansion of advanced virtualization and the emergence of new cloud service delivery models.

In today’s data-driven world, nearly all businesses are conducting activities in a digital manner and can’t afford to lose their critical data and information.
