FINAL WORD
Data integrity : the foundation of true data freedom
Rick Vanover , Vice President , Product Strategy , Veeam , says that for businesses to truly embrace data freedom , they must ensure that data remains accurate , complete and reliable during every migration .
With businesses managing increasingly complex data ecosystems , maintaining data integrity when moving data has never been more critical .
However , ensuring data integrity has become more challenging , leaving organisations at risk of data loss and corruption .
For businesses to truly embrace data freedom , they must not only be able to move data , but also ensure that data remains accurate , complete and reliable during every migration .
The impact of data migration on data integrity
The movement of data poses one of the most significant risks to data integrity , with the lack of pre-migration testing as the main cause of issues such as data corruption and data loss . This can cause unexpected downtime , reputational damage and loss of important information .
The recent global CrowdStrike incident is an example of how one fault can result in a significant impact across the business and its stakeholders . It sends a clear message – testing before implementation is essential . This enables organisations to identify potential issues and implement corrective measures .
