Interest Growing for Edge Data Protection

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

By Greg White

I am seeing more and more coverage from the analysts and press of the rising consideration given to protecting employee's desktop and laptop data. According to Lauren Whitehouse at the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), their research found that "endpoint backup/recovery and remote office backup/recovery ranked in the top five of primary data protection challenges and the top ten data protection spending priorities." And Sheila Childs at Gartner Inc., published a research report titled "Desktop/Laptop Backup Update: Endpoint Backup Gains in Importance" (ID: G00211731) in March that also talks about how "organizations are waking up to the fact that they have important data resident on endpoint devices that is not adequately protected, but should be." Plus, there is the growing wealth of articles like Curtis Preston's mobile data backup tutorial and laptop and desktop data backup best practices. Perhaps most importantly, I am hearing the same sentiment from the companies and organizations that I talk to about storage and data protection.
