Data Protection
Tip 7: All your data and workloads matter, so protect them all.
Finally, you want to be able to protect everything you have, and will have. That includes physical workloads, Windows, Linux, and legacy UNIX servers, and all your virtualized platforms — often, not just VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V, but also Citrix XenServer, KVM or others. It means protecting not just individual private or public cloud systems, but complex OpenStack cloud environments controlling dynamically changing collections of compute, storage and network resources. It means protecting SaaS applications such as Microsoft Office 365. It also means protecting all clients, since threats such as ransomware won't always be restricted to Windows. You need a solution designed to support all of your platforms and business requirements, both current and emerging. Fortunately, such solutions now exist.
