MILFORD, Mass. (PRWEB) May 22, 2018

ESG, a leading IT analyst, research, and strategy firm, today announced the hiring of Christophe Bertrand, who joins the firm as a Senior Analyst covering the data protection market. In this role, Bertrand will cover technologies, market trends, and vendors associated with all aspects of the data protection landscape, including backup and recovery, availability solutions, cloud services, archiving, and regulatory compliance considerations such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Bertrand has 25 years of experience in services, software, and infrastructure and brings a passion for developing, launching, and marketing technology products. Bertrand was most recently Vice President of Product Marketing with Arcserve, where he was part of the executive team and spearheaded various product launches including the company’s award-winning UDP software, appliances, and cloud services. A veteran of the data protection and storage markets, Bertrand has also worked for companies such as Legato Systems (acquired by EMC), VERITAS, Maxtor, Hitachi Data Systems, and DataDirect Networks.

“ESG has been a leader in data protection research and market coverage for nearly 20 years,” said Steve Duplessie, ESG Founder. “Our research consistently shows that data protection is a perennial priority for business customers. Indeed, data protection is now more relevant than ever as companies wrestle with protecting cloud-based apps and data; determine how to comply with new regulations like GDPR; and deal with daily threats to their data from widespread ransomware attacks. These fast-moving market developments are precisely the reason why ESG is expanding its data protection coverage.”

“ESG’s team already includes well-respected Senior Analysts like Edwin Yuen, our world-class market research group, and a technology validation practice that has tested hundreds of data protection products,” Duplessie continued. “We are thrilled to add someone of Christophe’s caliber and experience so that we can serve our data protection clients better than ever.”

“As the technology industry continues its transition to hybrid and multi-cloud models—and with data privacy and governance becoming a regular topic of conversation for businesses, consumers, the media, and lawmakers alike—it is a truly fascinating time to join ESG and observe the intersection of these trends first-hand,” added Bertrand. “I look forward to applying my industry experience to help ESG clients understand, navigate, and ultimately thrive in these dynamic market conditions.”
