Nowadays, the "head bowing" has become a social disease, and the mobile phone has almost become an organ of our body . Every morning when we open our eyes, the first object picked up must be the mobile phone; before going to bed at night, the last object put down must also be is a cell phone.
Indeed, when the performance of mobile phones becomes more and more powerful and functions become more and more intelligent, our daily necessities of life, work, life and entertainment are inseparable from mobile phones. The role of mobile phones is no longer a tool for communication, but an indispensable personal assistant. . Statistics show that in 2017, the penetration rate of mobile phones in China exceeded 102.5 units per 100 people for the first time.
However, behind the high penetration rate of mobile phones, the issue of data protection is extremely worrying.
How many people around you have experienced personal information leakage? How many people have ever said GoodBye with their precious data because their mobile phone was damaged or lost? How many people regret not having backup after data loss? Although there are various cloud backup methods, how many people find it troublesome and do not operate it?
As mobile phones become more and more popular, memory becomes larger and more data is stored, data protection becomes more and more important. If you are a deep mobile phone user, act quickly and add a "golden bell" to your data!
Enterprise data protection should not be an afterthought
As mobile phone data becomes more and more important, data protection should become a concern of every mobile phone user; as enterprise data becomes more and more critical, enterprise data protection should also become the top priority of enterprise strategy .
Compared with personal data in mobile phones, corporate data is much more critical. Once corporate data is damaged or lost, the loss to the company cannot be described as "distressed".
The "Cost of a Data Breach 2017" report shows that globally, the average loss of data to a company is $141; if the industry operates critical data, the loss will be even higher , such as the loss of data in the education industry. Costs a whopping $246/bar.
In addition to direct economic losses, data loss will also bring immeasurable indirect losses to enterprises , such as a decline in customer confidence, a weakening of company credibility, a decline in industry reputation, and public panic due to data loss or leakage.
Today, more and more companies have embarked on the pace of digital transformation. If companies cannot obtain data when they need it most, then digital transformation will become empty talk. Therefore, enterprises need to find suitable solutions to achieve higher reliability, availability and security of enterprise data .
However, just as "ideas are beautiful, reality is skinny", a large number of enterprises will encounter some thorny problems when carrying out data protection:
First, data inflation
IDC predicts that by 2025, the world's data will grow to 163ZB - 10 times more than the data generated in 2016. As data grows significantly, people will increasingly rely on its accuracy and availability, as well as its proper protection, to meet a wide variety of commercial, legal and regulatory requirements.
The rapid growth of data means that enterprises need to increase the corresponding hardware and software for data storage and protection, IT infrastructure tends to be complex, and data is increasingly difficult to manage and protect.
Second, system heterogeneity
Enterprises may choose different data protection methods at different stages of development, some based on hardware, some based on software, some based on security tools, and some based on data management framework.
In the long run, enterprises have to face a dizzying "hodgepodge of data" and be responsible for multiple heterogeneous data protection methods. These heterogeneous data protection systems are difficult to manage in a unified manner, resulting in low data protection efficiency.
Third, the infrastructure is complex
同样，企业在发展中往往还会采用异构的硬件基础架构，特别是传统企业用户，可能拥有大量旧有硬件资产，小型机、不同品牌和年代的服务器存储等硬件；还可能为了提升业务的弹性而选择超融合基础架构，亦或者选择了不同形式的云环境，公有云、私有云和混合云。
企业基础架构变得越来越复杂，这意味着需要保护的数据可能位于各种不同的应用程序、设备或基础架构资源池中，可能在本地，可能在云中，可能在各种异构的硬件设施中，其复杂度可想而知。
IT以简单为美，我想没有一家企业不希望能够以更加简洁的手段来更加高效且有效的保护数据。那么，企业应当如何选择有效的数据保护解决方案？
让数据自动加上“金钟罩”
实际上，数据保护上不应过多地依赖于人力，整个数据保护框架应该由自动化技术来塑造和驱动。企业则需要采用现代化的工具，部署一个集中化的监管模式，以便符合服务等级协议的要求，从而在所有时间保护好所有动态和静止的数据。
数据保护自动化技术的另一个重要益处是：商业用户能够确保数据得到充分的保护，有效地防范人为误操作、系统故障或组织外部的攻击尝试。
另一方面，为更加高效的保护数据，IT决策者不宜采用来自多个厂商的“拼盘”技术和架构“大杂烩”，而应当寻找具有卓越的技术和清晰的长期路线图的合作伙伴和完善的数据保护解决方案来保护企业数据。
