As enterprises become increasingly cloud-reliant and almost exclusively virtualized, IT roles― especially those related to workload and data center management―continue to shift, often creating resource and labor shortages in the data center. Such shortages put pressure on every team member to be more productive, meaning organizations need to find new ways to lower the TCO of their VMware deployments.
This paper discusses how approaches to data management―in particular, that of protecting virtual machines―are evolving and how those changes can bring relief to admins across the enterprise while ensuring workloads and data are fully protected in today’s hybrid IT environment.
