EMERGING markets, also known as developing economies, present large growth opportunities to technology companies as these countries beef up their information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure for digital transformation.
“As the fourth industrial revolution is fast approaching, developing economies need to upgrade their ICT network. The government, enterprise, oil and gas industry and the small medium enterprises are have to adopt a new perspective and outlook for the incoming change,” Ravi Rajendran, managing director of Asia South Region of Veritas Technologies, said in a recent news briefing.
He added small and medium businesses (SMBs) must be always given attention in the march toward digital transformation as they play a vital part in the economy. With around 96 percent of registered businesses in the Philippines belonging to the SME sector, economists and business leaders urged the government to provide all forms of support to SMEs to make an impact in the promoting economic inclusivity.
Rajendran said Veritas is open to assist governments in their transition to the digital world in saving their data and information.
“We are open for discussions with every one and engage the end-user on their needs,” he added.
Findings from Veritas showed the majority of global organizations, 56 percent, have a cloud-first mentality and are embracing multicloud as a key component of their business strategy when it comes to deploying new applications and managing workloads.
However, as organizations migrate on-premises data and workloads to the cloud, they face major challenges and pain points, including visualizing their data, migrating data to the cloud in a simple and cost-effective manner, and protecting workloads in the cloud, in complex hybrid environments and on-premises with no vendor lock-in.
In their bid to migrate to the cloud, Rajendran said organizations need a policy-driven data-management strategy to protect valuable data assets across multiple data centers, public and hybrid clouds
“With more than 20 new connectors in Information Map and advancements to our 360 data-management portfolio, organizations can now protect more cloud-based workloads, reduce storage costs in multicloud environments and gain increased visibility of data—all critical components of a successful multicloud data management strategy,” he added.
“With over 35 years of industry experience, we work with customers to host and deploy solutions on-premises or in the cloud. It’s imperative today to have a technology that enables businesses and government agencies to protect and manage data and archive what’s required, to ensure digital compliance,” said Jing Laurente, vice president, Solutions Group, WSI. “Veritas offers new capabilities in its 360 data-management portfolio that include industry-leading insight, availability and data-protection technology to help customers protect petabytes of data and quickly find and recover critical data.”
