Synopsis and overview of the session
Managing data lifecycle and resiliency in a multi-cloud environment is complex and disruptive to an organisation. The lack of planning and interoperability often contributes to downtime, increased security risks, and impacts on business continuity and recovery efforts.
There is a secure, risk-free and cost-effective approach that redefines how businesses move to, or within the cloud.
