An ever-growing number of applications, including data-intensive applications, are being rearchitected for and being built on container architectures. In The Futurum Group’s recent study, Hybrid Cloud Matures: Pragmatism in a Post-COVID-19 World, a large majority of respondents (84%) are adopting or plan to adopt containers, with 29% having a goal of moving most, if not all, of their workloads to containers, and 18% already having moved most if not all of their workloads to containers. Only 16% had no interest in transitioning to containers.
Clearly, for today’s enterprise, if containers are not a part of the present, they are a part of the near-term future. Thus, they need to be protected, just like their physical and virtual counterparts. However, they have a number of unique considerations beyond traditional data protection requirements that need to be factored in.
