\"REPORT:Backup and recovery provider Commvault <\/a>just unveiled the results of a new survey, which found that 81 percent of C-level executives and other IT leaders are concerned about missing out on cloud advancements and about 75 percent see data protection and backup \u201cas one of the cloud projects that are most impactful to their business,\u201d according to a release.<\/p>\n

The survey was completed in partnership with IT research firm CITO Research and found that cloud FOMO, fear of missing out, is causing business executives to move forward with cloud strategies. In fact, 93 percent of participants said they were moving at least some of their processes to the cloud and 56 percent stated that they’ve moved or plan to move all of their processes to the cloud.<\/p>\n

“The survey unequivocally confirms that Cloud FOMO is real and on the mind of C-level and other IT leaders who are grappling with bringing the value of this new frontier to their organizations, from increasing IT outcomes to being a strategic driver for increased business agility,\u201d CTO at CITO Research Dan Woods said. \u201cThe research indicates the migration toward the cloud is underway in full force, even as companies struggle to understand cloud capabilities. Data protection and recovery was highlighted as a fundamental area where the cloud is having significant business impact.”<\/p>\n

Research pointed to the fact that about 75 percent of business executives saw data protection and backup as one of the cloud projects that affect their organizations more than any other cloud initiative. The report also found that 63 percent were worried about being able to recover data quickly from the cloud.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur experience makes it clear that these concerns come from customers who understand they need more than native tools for basic level backup,\u201d Don Foster, senior director of solutions marketing for Commvault, said.\u00a0 \u201cCustomers are increasingly aware they need holistic backup and recovery, ensuring that no matter where their data lives \u2013 on-premises or in the cloud \u2013 it is properly protected and recoverable.\u201d<\/p>\n
