In hybrid and multicloud environments, cloud backup may need to cover data that resides in a variety of locations, while also integrating backups with data from virtualized environments and on-premises servers. Managing compliance is more difficult in the cloud, as organizations have less control over their data, making it harder to demonstrate compliance with a wide variety of regulatory frameworks. Large backups may take many hours, impacting application performance and increasing the cost of WAN bandwidth required to backup servers to cloud storage. But cloud technologies also introduce a number of complex challenges for cloud backup, recovery, long-term retention and disaster recovery. The cloud can provide significant benefits in terms of improving application performance and reducing capital and operational costs. Energy, Climate Action & Sustainability.
