3rd Platform Applications are Driving the Need for New Cloud Data Management Schemes

Next-generation applications are born-in-the-cloud... ...while traditional onpremise applications are moving to the cloud Infrastructure techniques are giving way to applicationcentric techniques

70%

59%

of CIOs have a cloud-first strategy

28%

of organizations have active development projects using cloud databases (relational and non-relational)

expect to deploy applications with these cloud databases within 12 months

But capability gaps exist Retrofitting existing cloud data management techniques may lead to significant capability gaps due to a lack of: Enterprise-grade data protection features for cloud databases and relational databases in the cloud

Data recovery for non-operational recovery use cases such as test/dev in the cloud and across clouds

Data visibility across heterogeneous data persistence models

Cloud data mobility to enable application development lifecycle in the cloud

Enter next-gen cloud data management

Next-gen cloud data management will include important functionality such as: Recovery orchestration capable of supporting distributed software platforms

Integrated data management to reduce data sprawl and improve data agility for multi-use purposes directly from a backup copy Native-format versioning to enable multi-cloud mobility and portability

Global semantic deduplication to minimize data stored and managed

Non-media server-based architectures to deliver performance at massive scale

Essential guidance Three actions IT organizations can take now to ensure a successful deployment: Decouple past-generation application deployment and protection models from next-gen deployments for fresh thinking at all levels Integrate cloud data protection and management up-front with next-gen application design rather than try to retrofit older methodologies Match data protection schemes to specific workload types and multi-cloud deployment models
