As data begins to sprawl, having seamless protection through all of that becomes difficult, especially the elements around applications that are running at core, at edge, and in cloud — particularly public cloud. Versent’s Hope said operational silos between legacy infrastructure teams and newer cloud and Kubernetes teams. Having application portability gives customers the ability to move from public cloud to on-premises, to another public or private cloud seamlessly as their needs change. This growth was led by organisations needing an adaptive architecture that allows data and applications to reside anywhere, enabling movement between public cloud and on-premises. Hope also said the MSP was seeing many customers re-evaluating their virtualisation and cloud roadmaps in light of Broadcom’s VMware changes.
