EMC’s global report says data protection programs from one vendor significantly reduce the cost of unscheduled downtime and the amount of data lost (in breaches or other incidents) Organizations that employ three or more vendors actually lose more data and more money. Worldwide, unintended downtime cost companies $954 billion, and data loss cost $754 billion — that’s $1.7 trillion in all, roughly equal to half the GDP of Germany. EMC ranked China number one in data protection “maturity,” with 30% of organizations being considered “ahead of the curve””]
