If you could illustrate the demands of today's mission critical workloads that require high performance and massive capacity.The demonetization of the 500 and 1000 rupee notes, the highest denominations, lead to chaos forcing us to change our habits. We all now believe and understand that it is safer to transact online using payment gateways. It is more secure to use debit cards and credit cards. All transactions, small or large are going to happen elec-tronically or through a valid legal path. Companies of-fering digital payment platforms have seen a huge surge in the traffic with the number of people subscribing to their services and downloading their apps with 300 to 400 percent growth. The biggest challenge that faces the industry today is that when the business can grow unprecedentedly based on factors such as this, political move or a buying season such as Diwali or Christmas or any other factors make our transactions go up and down. Entrepreneurs today want flexible and agile solu-tions that can meet their ever-growing demands. Imag-ine today if the payment gateways, unable to take the load, had completely collapsed, then there would have been absolute mayhem.2. Often IT professionals take backup and recovery into their own hands and protect their data outside of the normal IT processes. This creates silos of manageabil-ity and visibility that almost assuredly will lead to non compliance with corporate retention mandates and likely fail restores when they matter most. Now dedu-plication is the answer to this. Please comment. One can back-up their data but will face a lot more chal-lenges than imagined during recovery. That is why we talk to customers about multiple recovery points. For ex-ample, if you look at all the flagships that we have, we have something call Snapshot and Snapshot recovery ca-pability. So most of our customers whenever they have an application issue or a user issue, they do not even go to the back-up. They just pick up the back-up from these points in time and they are back in business in a few sec-onds. Let's say a bank has lost its whole database, even if they had a great back-up solution, it will take eight to ten hours for recovery. We provide solutions to customers to enable instantaneous data recovery.
