Talend Survey: Australian Companies Face Data Management Crisis
A recent survey by Talend has revealed concerning trends in Australian companies' data management. The report highlights issues such as inadequate data backup, infrastructure struggles, and sustainability concerns.
The survey found that 24% of Australian respondents admitted they did not back up important data, risking potential loss. Furthermore, 26% experienced data inaccessibility due to storage outages, indicating infrastructure struggles. A staggering 76% of companies reported feeling overwhelmed by their data management, with 78% expressing concerns about their current infrastructure's scalability.
Talend's report also shed light on sustainability issues. While 62% of IT leaders measure their data centre's energy consumption, only 46% have set goals to reduce it. This suggests a lack of proactive approach to energy efficiency. Additionally, 33% of companies acknowledged their data infrastructure uses too much energy, contributing to environmental concerns.
Australian companies also face significant security challenges. 67% of leaders worry about their ability to detect data breaches in time, and 75% are concerned about their data infrastructure's resilience against ransomware attacks. These findings underscore the urgent need for robust security measures.
The Talend survey paints a worrying picture of Australian companies' data management. With data needs expected to nearly double in the next two years, companies must address immediate issues such as inadequate backup and infrastructure struggles. Moreover, they must prioritise sustainability and security to protect both their data and the environment.
