IDC PeerScape: Peer Insights for Deploying Container Data and Infrastructure Management Software
This IDC PeerScape highlights the experiences that some organizations had while deploying container data and infrastructure management solutions and the knowledge they gained."To deploy critical applications in containers, organizations need to understand their connection to underlying storage and data management systems in order to protect and manage them at scale," said Johnny Yu, research manager, Infrastructure Software Platforms, Worldwide Infrastructure Research, IDC. "The nascency of this category of tools means there are few widely established best practices, which makes peer insights all the more valuable."
