The 7 Major Players in Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions, 2020

These providers have recently been named major players in data center backup and recovery solutions for 2020 by analyst house Gartner, Inc.

Data center backup and recovery solutions are vital for organizations that want to maximize uptime and protect themselves from threats like cybercrime and natural disasters. Backup and disaster recovery companies are steadily advancing, and it is expected that nearly half of organizations will replace the backup applications they deployed as recently as 2018 in the coming months. This shows how critical it is for companies to remain up-to-date with backup and disaster recovery planning. When business-critical enterprise data is on the line, data management leaders should consider forward-looking technologies first.
