Quantum Corp. conducted survey in partnership with ESG
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Quantum Corp. released new survey data that reveals the most common challenges organizations struggle with around effective data management, storage, and analysis. The survey, conducted by ESG Research in fall 2021, queried hundreds of IT professionals and line-of-business leaders across North America, the U.K., and Asia-Pacific.

The survey findings paint a picture of changing data models that create management challenges, leaving data more vulnerable to security issues, such as ransomware attacks, that can have a devastating impact on businesses.
