Data loss and downtime cost Russian companies more than $ 29 billion

At the end of last year, EMC Corporation published the results of another international study on data protection systems. IT leaders from various organizations in 24 countries, both public and private, took part in it. You can familiarize yourself with the general results of the research by downloading the report . And here we bring to your attention the data obtained from the results of a survey of Russian companies (there are many graphics on the cut).

The volume of lost data worldwide has increased by 400% since 2012. At the same time, oddly enough, 82% of organizations are still not confident in their ability to recover data after disruption. At the same time, most companies believe that they are not ready for a new era of mobile infrastructures, cloud environments and big data. According to the results, over the past year, data loss and downtime cost Russian organizations $ 29 billion.

There is also good news: the number of data loss cases is generally declining. However, the volume of data lost during each incident grow exponentially.

The introduction of advanced data protection technologies greatly reduces the likelihood of disruption. Therefore, to meet the challenges of data protection, many companies turn to multiple IT service providers at once. However, such a fragmented approach to the deployment of protective equipment can only increase the risks.

• The probability of data loss for organizations that have not developed a continuous availability strategy is almost twice as high as for companies that have deployed this strategy.
• Organizations that receive data protection solutions from three or more suppliers have lost 1.2 times more data than companies that have built their protection strategy around a single contractor.
• In addition, organizations with three contractors typically spent an average of $ 1 million more on data protection infrastructure than companies with one contractor
