Contrary to the past, IT pros are turning to flash to streamline the backup process and let IT teams focus their time on other tasks, according to Drew Robb at Tech Page One.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/flash-storage-and-backup-lightning-fast/) [29 August 2014 — 1 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 4: What to Do When Your Cloud Service is Disrupted](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/bd62a55daae50fdec0d6a6b238034607.png) Does the Entire Internet Need a Backup?

But for those yet to make the leap, what are the virtualization issues to look out for? And as all IT pros know, the landscape is constantly shifting and new solutions come up all the time.

But the exponential growth in the amount of data that businesses generate in cloud, virtual, mobile and other environments has made the task harder for IT.
