European Businesses Amplify Investment in Cloud Data Protection
MORGES, Switzerland, October 12, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
'Insights: Data Protection and the Cloud 2011' survey from CA
Technologies highlights increase in data loss incidents and urgent need to
invest in cloud solutions
CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today released the results of an
independent survey that reveals investment in data protection continues to
grow with more budget allocated to cloud computing. According to the survey
of 1,987 companies across Europe, over a third (34%) of organisations expect
cloud computing to play an increasingly important role in their business
continuity plans over the next year.

The survey: 'Insights: Data Protection and the Cloud 2011' highlights
that 67% of the companies surveyed have seen their data protection budgets
remain flat in the last year, and just over a quarter (27%) are increasing
investment. As more businesses realise the significance of cloud to their
data protection strategy, CA Technologies expects an increased investment in
cloud solutions.
"It's particularly telling that companies are now realising that cloud
can be a useful tool for back-up and disaster recovery purposes.
Organisations using the cloud in this way have less need for their own
remote site, and have to spend less time monitoring data recovery systems,
allowing them to focus on growing the business." said Chris Ross, Vice
President EMEA & Asia-Pacific, CA Technologies Data Management CSU
Despite the positive trend in disaster recovery investment and the
emerging shift to cloud, almost all the companies surveyed (94%) suffered
application and data loss incidents in the last year. Of the 1,987
businesses surveyed across Europe, 31% have data that resides in the private
cloud and 17% in the public cloud. Encouragingly, these companies displayed
high levels of confidence in the safety of this data.
