This webinar discusses the challenges of protecting distributed data across remote and branch offices. The five key challenges are lack of visibility, limited expertise, manual processes, budget constraints, and regional data privacy rules. Traditionally, organizations have tried to centralize backups or leave protection distributed. However, these approaches can result in data sprawl, compliance issues, and complexity. The webinar argues cloud backup is a better option, as it can provide a single solution for all sites while addressing costs and regulations. Examples are given of companies improving protection, compliance, and reducing costs by switching to a cloud-based data protection platform.

3. Understanding Where
Data is Distributed
● Existing remote and branch
offices
● Newly formed offices
● Newly merged company offices
4. Data Risk for Existing Remote and Branch Offices
● Little or no IT presence
○ If IT exists typically a “generalist”
● Lack of communication between local IT and
data center
● Originally established backup policies are
disregarded
● SLAs are not monitored for compliance
● Reliance on outdated backup technologies
● Risks?
5. Data Risks for New
Offices
● Backup policies and IT staff are
“TBD”
● SLAs are either one-size fits all or
non-existent
● Tendency to put-off data
protection until next budget cycle
● Overall the focus is on rapid
growth
● Risks?
6. Data Risk for Merged Companies
● Complex piecemeal systems that
somehow need to integrate
○ Of course your solution may be
piecemeal and complex too
● Lack of consistent SLA and even
common terminology
● Reliance on outdated backup
technologies
● Risks?
7. The Five Challenges That Need to Be Overcome
● Lack of visibility
● Limited expertise
● Manual processes
● Budget constraints
● Regional data privacy rules
8. How are Organizations Attempting to
Meet These Challenges?
● Centralized
○ Somehow replicate all data
back to data center
■ backup locally then
replicate to main data
center
■ replicate to primary and
backup at main data center
9. How are Organizations Attempting to
Meet These Challenges?...cont...
● Distributed
○ Backup and recovery is
primarily the responsibility of
the remote
○ Data may be sent to the main
data center but rarely
consolidated
10. The Problems with the Status Quo
● Integrating backup data into a single view
/ single repository
● Data sprawl
○ multiple data protection storage systems
are used to store the same data
● Failure to comply with local, country or
industry regulations
● Data loss due to complexity
● Limited oversight as to SLA compliance
11. The Cloud Option
● Instead of using the main data center as the hub - use the cloud
● All backups, including the main data center, are sent to and
stored in the cloud
● Addresses visibility, expertise, processes issues
● Budget constraints & regional issues are addressed if right
solution is selected
● Does add new requirements, a.k.a. Not all cloud backups are
created equal
12. Enterprise Cloud for Primary Data Center and
Remote Offices
● One solution not multiple
● Larger sites will require some
local caching of data
● Smaller sites should leverage
direct to cloud
13. Addressing Cost
Concerns
● Data Efficiency (deduplication
across all sites)
● Supporting various cloud tiers
(most only support one tier)
14. Summary
● Distributed data and can’t be
ignored
○ Monetary and Legal
justification
● Legacy solutions just are not
prepared
● Cloud support is critical but it has
to be leveraged in the right way
