DataNew era cloud environments and applications such as analytics, mobile and social are driving huge growth in data volumes, making data the new natural resource.  The increased complexity and the general evolution of what we now recognize as mission-critical data. These increasingly complex data types are rendering your old data backup and recovery plan obsolete. There should be no hesitation to prioritize the review and update of the corporate data disaster recovery plan.
