Most IT leaders (83% ) think there\u2019s an \u201cavailability gap\u201d between how quickly they need systems to be recoverable and how soon that can be achieved. Meanwhile, 81% identify a \u201cprotection gap\u201d between how much data they can afford to lose and how often data is protected.<\/p>\n

So, while most IT leaders are less than satisfied with levels of data protection<\/a>, they are also battling ransomware attacks<\/a>. In fact, most organisations questioned had suffered at least one attack in 2022, with many suffering multiple attempts to extort ransoms from them.<\/p>\n

Those are some of the findings of the Veeam<\/a> Data protection trends report 2023<\/em>, which questioned 4,200 IT decision makers globally, including 349 in the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

The Veeam<\/a> report gives a snapshot of data protection and backup, as well as the balance of physical and virtual servers, on-premise and in the cloud.<\/p>\n

The big picture background is that there is a near-even split between on-premise and cloud server locations, with 28% reporting use of physical servers in datacentres, 27% with virtual servers in datacentres, and 45% with cloud-hosted server instances. Meanwhile, containers have been used<\/a> in production by 65% of respondents in 2022.<\/p>\n

That proliferation of data processing and storage locations appears to be a key driver behind 32% of respondents, who say they want to standardise data protection across datacentre and hosted workloads as part of their IT strategy in 2023.<\/p>\n

But, as a backdrop to changes in the locations and methods of processing data, cyber security issues have been a huge obstacle to smooth working.<\/p>\n

Out of those questioned, 85% of organisations said they were attacked at least once in the past 12 months, which is up from 76% in last year\u2019s report.<\/p>\n

Only 24% of those questioned said they had suffered no ransomware attack in 2022. Meanwhile, 19% said they had been subject to a single attack, 36% suffered two or three, and 18% were hit by four or more.<\/p>\n

Out of those who were attacked, the average volume of data made unusable was 39%, with only 55% of data being recoverable.<\/p>\n

Perhaps not surprisingly in light of these numbers, 38% said the threat of ransomware was the biggest hindrance to digital transformation and IT modernisation.<\/p>\n

Alongside this \u2013 and even perhaps because of it \u2013 the secular change in data movement towards the cloud is ongoing.<\/p>\n

The proportion that report hosting physical and virtual servers on-site has declined. Figures for physical and virtual on-premise were 38% and 30% respectively in 2020. That has trended downwards with 26% and 24% expected by 2025. Meanwhile, those that report cloud server hosting have increased from 32% to 50% in the same timeframe.<\/p>\n

In data protection too, the cloudward trend is visible, with 81% of respondents anticipating use of cloud-based backup as a service for some servers in the next two years.<\/p>\n

Alongside that, those questioned reported that 56% of their production data would reside in the cloud at some point during its lifecycle. Surprisingly perhaps, tape is also an enduring location for corporate data, with 42% reporting theirs spends some time in its life on the medium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
