New Delhi, India, December 16, 2014: EMC Corporation today announced the findings of a new global data protection study that reveals, data loss and downtime cost India enterprises US$54 billion in the last twelve months. Global data loss is up by 400% since 2012 while, surprisingly, 70% of India organizations are still not fully confident in their ability to recover after a disruption.

EMC Global Data Protection Index, conducted by Vanson Bourne, surveyed 3,300 IT decision makers from mid-size to enterprise-class businesses across 24 countries, including 125 respondents from India.

The good news is that the number of data loss incidents is decreasing overall.  However, the volume of data lost during an incident is growing exponentially.

Adopting advanced data protection technologies dramatically decreases the likelihood of disruption.  And, many companies turn to multiple IT vendors to solve their data protection challenges
