Organizations that want to safeguard their data — which should be all of them — need the tools and knowhow to effectively do so, especially as more data resides in the cloud. Data management and protection are going to be the watchwords at the Commvault GO 2017 conference, which is taking place from Nov. 6-8 at the National Harbor near Washington, D.C. BizTech will be on hand to provide full coverage of Commvault 's annual customer conference, which will focus heavily on the importance of backup and recovery solutions, managing data in the cloud and Commvault's relationship with key industry partners, including Cisco Systems, Microsoft and Oracle. On Nov. 7, Commvault CEO Bob Hammer will use the opening keynote session to share his vision for what will come next in managing, analyzing and protecting data, and how IT leaders must prepare for this next wave of innovation and business imperatives.
