In today's fast-paced digital landscape, where businesses are increasingly reliant on virtualization technologies, the recent announcement of Broadcom discontinuing the free version of VMware ESXi has sent ripples across the IT community. For MSPs and corporate customers alike, this development underscores the importance of having reliable multiplatform backup solutions in place to safeguard critical data and ensure business continuity.
The importance of a secure multiplatform backup
As businesses embrace multicloud and multihypervisor environments, the ability to migrate workloads between different platforms seamlessly becomes paramount. Whether it's transitioning from on-premises solutions to the cloud or migrating between hypervisors, having the right tools and strategies in place is essential to mitigate risks and minimize disruptions.
