3 Ways Automation Helps A Data Protection Strategy

3 Ways Automation Helps A Data Protection Strategy

On a daily basis, do you choose manual processes or Automation? Most IT leaders are looking to Automation for new ways to better serve customers, speed product innovation and deliver more revenue results for their organization.

Automation and today’s organization was discussed in the recent DM Radio podcast “Automation: The Key to Success for the Modern Business.” I had the opportunity to bring data protection into the conversation with several leaders from the IT industry:

How does automation fit in a data protection strategy?

Throughout the podcast, we covered a range of topics of interest to IT leaders. With customer examples and industry research, I shared three ways that automation fits into your data protection strategy.

Organizations run on data, but what happens when that data isn’t available? The new year rang in with unprecedented natural disasters with the Australian wildfires, floods in Brazil and winter tornadoes in the U.S. We hear about a new ransomware attack about every week.

Disaster recovery – and cloud-based Disaster recovery – are more important than ever. With these emergencies, time is critical, so automation is a necessity.

What if you could automate disaster recovery? What if you could use just a SMS voice command to kick off disaster recovery from Azure?

Thousands saw automated disaster recovery in a Commvault demo during the keynote of a recent customer event. Commvault simulated an incident like the California power outages that happened during the wildfire crisis there. With this demo scenario, a SMS voice command called the Commvault platform to spin up a disaster recovery instance in an Azure cloud region on the other side of the country.

No Wi-Fi, no power, but data available and accessible. With Commvault automation, disaster recovery could be started without human intervention other than that voice command.

Check out the details in the “Just Text Commvault” blog.

Executives are much more interested in risk mitigation than ever before. Risk is a C-level and board-level issue.

In fact, an executive focus on risk and threat mitigation is evident at 69 percent of surveyed Commvault cloud customers.

The State of Colorado shares a great example of automated data protection software helping with risk mitigation.
