High Availability Critical for Storage in the Digital Business Era

​

Digital transformation (DX) has led to the digital business era, where enterprises’ share of revenue from digital models exceeds that of traditional models. The digital business era puts information technology (IT) infrastructure capabilities at center stage, and IDC’s April 2023 Future Enterprise Resiliency and Spending Survey shows that improving data protection capabilities and modernizing datacenter infrastructure over the next two years to provide the capacity, performance, availability, and scalability needed are the top 2 priorities for enterprises and the areas in which budgets cannot be lowered. Availability requirements are becoming not only more important but also increasingly stringent. Digital transformation makes the IT infrastructure a critical contributor to day-to-day operations, and many of the cloud-native and other new workloads being deployed as part of this evolution make high availability (HA) a more important requirement than ever before.
