Nearly half of respondents (49%) from the Asia Pacific (APAC) region
suffered an unrecoverable data event in the last three years with 40% of
these respondents experiencing a greater direct loss of revenue from
tech-related disruptions, according to the findings of an IDC whitepaper
commissioned by Zerto, State of IT Resilience. The IDC research surveyed 500 senior-level IT and business managers
from over 10 unique industries and companies of all sizes and
geographies about the challenges to achieve IT resiliency and its
importance to digital transformation and included respondents from
Australia and Singapore. While the majority of businesses surveyed have a cloud, digital
transformation or modernisation project already planned for the next two
years, these same businesses rate themselves as immature on resilience
objectives. This gap highlights the current demands on IT teams who are being
tasked with cloud and modernisation projects even as they struggle to
keep pace with basic protection and recovery. The survey results validate that only resilient operations can
businesses mitigate the risk of downtime and focus on projects that
drive transformation.
There I was shooting the breeze with an old mate. The conversation turned to why Madge Networks which I wrote about here went titsup. My analysis is that Madge Networks had a solution and decided to go out and find a problem. They deferred to more incorrect strategic technology choices. The truth of the matter is that when something goes titsup, its not because of one reason only, but a myriad of them all contributing to the negative consequence. There are the immediate or visual ones, which are underpinned by intermediate ones and finally after digging right down, there are the root causes. There is never a singular root cause for anything but I'll present my opinion and encourage everyone else to chip in. All of them together are more likely the reason the company went titsup. As far as technology brainfarts go there is no better example than Kodak . They invented the digital camera that killed them. However, they were so focused on milking people in their leg
