1 Research Report Abstract: Trends in Data Protection Modernization By Jason Buffington, Senior Analyst, and Bill Lundell, Senior Research Analyst August 2012
2 Introduction Research Objectives Research Report: Trends in Data Protection Modernization In order to assess the current state of the data protection market, ESG recently surveyed 330 North America- and Western Europe-based senior IT professionals representing midmarket (100 to 999 employees) and enterprise-class (1,000 employees or more) organizations. All respondents were familiar with and/or personally responsible for evaluating, purchasing, or managing data protection technologies such as backup and recovery software, data replication software, and disk or tape storage systems used for secondary data storage for their organization. The survey was designed to answer the following questions: What are the primary data protection challenges that organizations are currently facing? How confident are organizations that their data protection applications and processes are adequately protecting their data? Which types of data protection technologies and processes are currently in use? How will this change going forward? How satisfied are organizations with their current data protection technologies and strategies? What types of storage media are currently used to support data protection requirements? How will this change over time? How pervasive has data deduplication usage become over the last several years? What methods do organizations use to protect virtual machines today? Does the organization maintain different approaches to protecting its virtual and physical? What is the preference for protecting physical versus virtual? What impact is the cloud having on data protection strategies today? How will this change in the near future? Survey participants represent a wide range of industries including manufacturing, financial services, communications and media, health care, retail, government, and business services. For more details, please see the Research Methodology and Respondent Demographics sections of this report.
3 Research Report: Trends in Data Protection Modernization Research Methodology To gather data for this report, ESG conducted a comprehensive online survey of IT managers from private- and public-sector organizations in North America (United States and Canada) and Western Europe (United Kingdom, France, and Germany) between January 9, 2012 and January 27, To qualify for this survey, respondents were required to be senior IT managers familiar with and/or personally responsible for evaluating, purchasing, or managing data protection technologies such as backup and recovery software, data replication software, and disk or tape storage systems used for secondary data storage for their organization. After filtering out unqualified respondents, removing duplicate responses, and screening the remaining completed responses (on a number of criteria) for data integrity, we were left with a final total sample of 330 IT managers. Please see the Respondent Demographics section of this report for more information on these respondents. Note: Totals in figures and tables throughout this report may not add up to 100% due to rounding.
