Dell Revisits Its Cloud Computing Security

Increasingly, businesses of all sizes are shifting to cloud-based services, making it essential for them to consider cloud computing solutions as part of a comprehensive IT security strategy.

In 2019, a MyBroadband reported that already 71% of companies were backing up their data to the cloud and post-Covid, a HornetSecurity survey of over 900 IT professionals in Europe and North America found that 93% of businesses are now adopting a hybrid of cloud and onsite solutions, with half of those aiming to migrate to the cloud within the next five years fully.

When the remaining companies were questioned about why they did not want to migrate to the cloud, they cited concerns about security, data control and costs. Overall, it seems that hybrid cloud solutions still have several challenges to overcome.

How Dell Technologies is Improving the Security of its Multi-Cloud Offerings

In view of this, Dell Technologies has started to deliver new cloud experiences. These are aimed at helping their customers easily store, control, and protect data and applications across multi-cloud environments, platforms, and locations. Dell has recognised that, as cyber threats increase, cyber protection is becoming a more significant concern, so they are providing new recovery solutions for multi-cloud environments. Some of these solutions Dell offers include:

• Extending the reach of its multi-cloud network.
• Improving access to its data protection offerings for public clouds.
• Deploying an isolated cyber vault in the public cloud to improve cyber resiliency.

Why Companies Should Consider Dell

These initiatives from Dell will allow companies to:

• Use adaptive analytics
• Implement machine learning
• Quickly detect, diagnose, and restore data recovery
• Monitor systems for cyberattacks and identify the last uncorrupted version of the file to be restored.
