In the fall of 2022, an independent research firm completed their survey of 1,700 unbiased IT leaders regarding their use of cloud services in both production and protection scenarios, with representative personas for each scenario being asked so that the differences between personas’ perspectives, as well as strategy drivers and backup methodologies, could all be gathered.

This was a broad-based market study on unbiased organizations running at least one production workload in a cloud (IaaS, PaaS or SaaS). The survey was conducted on Veeam’s behalf to understand the various personas’ perspectives, responsibilities and methodologies related to operating and protecting cloud-hosted workloads, as well as considerations when using cloud-powered data protection.
