The ‘next normal’ will center on resiliency as much as storage
BY SLOANE KALI FAYE
For many years, VMworld attendees used to jokingly call the conference “storage world.”
Storage has usually gotten the lion’s share of attention from enterprise customers, according to Deepak Mohan (pictured), executive vice president of products at Veritas Technologies LLC. However, as companies become more vulnerable to breaches and attacks, resilience and recovery are also important.
Storage systems require ongoing protection. Data and application resiliency providers such as Veritas are seeing increasing attention in these unpredictable times. In fact, last year VMworld hosted more data protection and resiliency vendors than storage vendors. These marked changes reflect new concerns in the “next normal” tech world.
Mohan spoke with Stu Miniman, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio, during VMworld. They discussed a shifting spotlight from storage to resiliency solutions, increasingly complex challenges for chief information officers, and rising to meet new market trends. (* Disclosure below.)
Simplifying complexity for CIOs
The CIO’s role is increasingly complex in a moment of big, yet quick shifts for storage technology. For example, CIOs now have software applications running on-premises, in virtual machines, and in hybrid environments. These applications are also running in private clouds, as well as infrastructure as a service.
“So they’re all over the place,” Mohan said. “Now think about the job of the CIO. First, you have to make sure all these applications are up and running 24 [seven].”
In migrating to the cloud, several enterprise customers are leveraging solutions, such as VMC or Azure VMware solutions. As they shift workloads to the cloud, they may be deploying virtual machines there, but the need for high availability and data resiliency backup actually becomes complicated. Mohan indicated this complexity exists “because the old environments are still there on-prem. Some workloads are now moving to the cloud, and they are leveraging the Veritas solutions,” Mohan stated.
Meeting current market trends
Mohan attributes much of Veritas’ success to its ability to remain current with trends spawned by myriad technology transformations and disruptions. As hybrid cloud disruptions persist, Veritas is working hard to ensure the data protection layers are done correctly.
“So, we are definitely working with VMware on the Tanzu resiliency, as well as leveraging the Velero platform,” Mohan said.
Organizations are using solutions to support migration to the cloud and resiliency. In response, more and more companies, like Veritas, are innovating to help CIOs, and enterprise in general, navigate their new and persistent resiliency challenges, Mohan concluded.
