Data Boom Forecast in Middle East
The Middle East is on the verge of a data boom and most regional organisations are not prepared to face it, according to a study by IDC, an independent analyst group. Software investment in the Middle East remains strong, IDC has said, but only leads to the generation of more data which, in turn, must be backed-up and retrieved for immediate reference in the region’s fast moving organisations.
Oil and gas conglomerates, retail, banks, governments, and telcos are all investing significantly in software applications to manage their growing customer base.
“Application data growth, hardware proliferation, dispersed management tools, and organisational change and development have combined to fuel the need for regional organisations to better control data and storage infrastructure,” said Vinay Nair, Senior Analyst, Software Research, IDC Middle East and Africa.
“Losing control of data has a two-fold impact on Middle East organisations: risk and cost. IDC recommends that organisations plan intelligently for future storage needs by putting in place a clear strategy,” added Nair.
CommVault provides innovative data protection capabilities for backup and recovery of data using disk-to-disk and disk-to-disk-to-tape.
CommVault Galaxy Backup & Recovery, for enterprise protection and CommVault Galaxy Express Backup & Recovery, for small- and medium-business (SMB) protection, are perfectly suited to meets the storage demands of Middle East companies, the company said.
Fiona Moon, CommVault marketing director, said: “Data growth in the Middle East is progressing faster than most emerging markets, and we believe that this trend will continue. IDC’s view that the region is on the verge of a data boom fully supports our existing position that regional organizations should be moving now to establish a clearly defined storage investment policy the places crucial importance on leading-edge back-up and recovery technologies.” – TradeArabia News Service
