Presentation Description
Sepaton CTO and industry visionary Miki Sandorfi will address what's on the horizon for data protection and how companies can position themselves for tomorrow with today's technologies. As data protection advances, many technologies are emerging but a clear end-game is not yet defined. Miki will discuss new technologies like data de-duplication, CDP and more. He will describe how fragmented data protection technologies will come together in the next few years to create a unified backup, recovery and archive system that meets regulatory requirements and business Service Level Agreements.
