The answer, it turns out, is all three. (Don't believe it? Look here and here). With all due respect to musicians and reptile wranglers, however, data is actually worth taking a moment to think about: the average U.S. worker cranks out 1.8 million megabytes (or about 1,750 gigabytes) of data each year, according to IDC. That's a lot of data to lose. Not concerned?

It's a concern IT managers wrestle with every day because one misstep, whether a stolen phone or a vulnerable cloud application, can send companies scrambling to salvage lost data and tarnished reputations.

Cloud apps and services, employee smartphones and other devices, laptops and servers — each of those are massive data generators, 24/7. So how can IT pros provide uniform security and protection around all that data?

With more than 90 percent of the world's data being created in just the past two years, data loss is clearly no joke.

Sadly, no. The typical small business owner, it turns out, spends more time changing passwords or organizing their desks than they do backing up data, according to new research.

That prediction has largely come to bear, as Gartner estimates that Windows is now 60 to 70 percent virtualized, with Linux about 35 to 45 percent there. Moreover, between the legacy physical systems in place, the decline in server shipments and the large proportion of virtualized environments, hardly any system shipped today is not virtual.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/7-predictions-virtualization-2014/) [1](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/authors/acronis/page/1/)...[81](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/authors/acronis/page/81/) [82](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/authors/acronis/page/82/) [83](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/authors/acronis/page/83/) [84](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/authors/acronis/page/84/) [85](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/authors/acronis/page/85/)...[92](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/authors/acronis/page/92/)
