environments . That ’ s a problem because traditional VPN software solutions are obsolete for the new IT reality of hybrid and multi-cloud . They weren ’ t designed for them . They ’ re complex to configure and they expose ‘ slices of the network ,’ creating a lateral network attack surface . availability ( HA ) and Disaster Recovery ( DR ) with automatic failover in Kubernetes . This will enable them to deploy stateful containers to create new and innovative applications while also improving operations with near-zero RTO to more efficiently deliver better products and services at a lower cost .

In 2022 , SMEs will look to a new class of containers with integrated SDP security to eliminate these issues and disrupt the current deployment model for multi-cloud . This new SDP-enhanced container will enable SMEs to build smart endpoint multi-cloud container environments that can seamlessly span clouds without the added costs and complexities of a VPN and with virtually no attack surface . The combination of Kubernetes and SDP-enhanced containers will enable SMEs to build multicloud Kubernetes clusters with unparalleled portability . This new multi-cloud deployment standard will make it easy for SMEs to switch from one public cloud vendor to another .
This will be particularly true for the stateful database container use case . With SDPenhanced database containers , SMEs will be able to achieve database-level high

Massive data growth combined with significant changes in the way we work today and a rapid rise in cybercrime has driven increased challenges for SME IT managers . In 2022 , it will be critical to respond to these demands and to pursue and achieve Digital Transformation strategies that enable SMEs to store , manage and protect data at scale . The best way to do this will be to start with the right data storage foundation .
To start , SMEs need to seek a data storage foundation that enables them to support a mix of workloads . The storage should allow for flexible configurations and simplified expansion
